Nurses educated abroad must register with the UK’s Nursing and Midwifery Council to practice. First, determine your eligibility – a Bachelor’s degree, English fluency, and extensive experience are required. Next, choose one of three application routes based on qualifications.
For nurses with 2 years of active practice overseas, adapt your portfolio and take the OSCE nursing exam. Those with approved home country licenses may qualify via mutual recognition. Otherwise, complete the full Overseas Nursing Program.
To stay on track, start this lengthy process 1-2 years pre-move. Maintain detailed records and expect numerous correspondence cycles. With dedication and meticulous preparation, you can obtain your NMC pin number and launch your nursing career in the UK.
