Dear Sariga,

In order to become a nurse in UK,

1. You have to be a fully qualified nurse with nursing degree. You should have at least one year experience in nursing.

2. In order to communicate with patients and co-workers in UK, you need to prove your English speaking, reading and writing skills. Examinations needed to prove your English skills include-

• IELTS (International English Language Testing System)
• OET (Occupational English Test)

3. You need to give an interview to your nursing agency in UK after passing in these exams through a video platform.

4. You need to register yourself with NMC( Nursing and Midwifery Council) through a Computer Based Test. It is a 4 hour test with 120 multiple choice questions.

5. Submit your documents for NMC.

6. Submit your documents to the NHS Trust.

7. Apply for Certificate of Sponsorship (COS).

8. You need to pass the Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE).

9. Your career as a registered nurse in UK will officially begin when you pass the OSCE and receive your NMC Personal Identification Number.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes.
