For international nurses planning to build a career in the UK, registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) is an important part of the process. Understanding the registration requirements, English-language expectations, CBT, OSCE and other stages can help nurses prepare more confidently.
Understanding the NMC Registration Process
The NMC regulates nurses, midwives and nursing associates in the UK. Internationally educated nurses generally need to complete the required stages of the NMC registration process before they can practise as a registered nurse in the UK.
Depending on individual circumstances, the process can involve:
- Meeting NMC eligibility and registration requirements
- Demonstrating English-language proficiency
- Completing the NMC Test of Competence
- Passing the Computer Based Test (CBT)
- Completing the Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE)
- Completing the remaining registration requirements
