Your registration status is the old card they used to send out to you and is now the letter that tells you you are registered (once you've paid your NMC fee). They kept asking me for my card and I had to send them a screenshot of the website that says they don't send cards out anymore. Just scan in and email them the letter saying your registered or ask the NMC to post (they don't do email and then wonder why they can't work efficiently!) If you've not kept it best at of luck

Why don't you do the top up degree online at a UK university? I know UWS (university west of Scotland) do it online for (I think) £1,500 you could use a friend/relative address so you don't pay international fees it would take you 9months (at the most) and that's a part time timeframe you might be able to get RPL for any modules you've done reducing time and cost http://www.uws.ac.uk/schools/school-of-health-nursing-and-midwifery/courses/distance-learning/apply/#.VA-alXgayc0

Hi there I did not add my school qualifications. I only added Uni qualifications

Hi i have PMd you with details of a contact. I don't know much about the sponsored visa but I'd advise looking at what you would need to pay for if you went on that visa- such as schooling etc

Claire Give them a call and speak to person reviewing your file- they are quite helpful. There is a wee spiel that you need to type, date and sign something like "the information is true ......" did you forget that bit? I just typed a list of CPD on my CV I didn't go into detail about my CPD just course name hours and attendance year. There is a wee template somewhere that you could populate and ask if they'll accept by email. I sent mine to Perth office I have the perth phone number if that's where you sent yours.

Tannin/Tannates in tea can interfere with iron absorption and it is often not recommended for children.

Yes- 189 on 21st June

As part of my job (and study) I am classed as an expert in child poverty I have carried out many qualitative interviews with people who are in the most shocking situations it is not hard to find evidence if you have no Athens account just google- cpag, poverty alliance, gcph, barnardos, Joseph rowntree, engender, save the children etc etc I live in Solihull and it is a great place but i am aware there is 'another world' out there I study in glasgow and have worked there and let me tell you first hand- things are bad and they are going to get a whole lot worse

I beg to differ if you look into available evidence you will see that they do.

I agree ayrshire2oz Things are dire for many- foodbanks growing at such a rapid rate that it is reflective of Americas "welfare" i have heard of people taking the free sachets of tomato sauce from cafes and topping up with water to give to their kids as soup. Just cause it's not in front of you and your street doesn't mean it's not happening. And before anyone starts with daily mail statements no it's not because they have sky, buy cigs or alcohol! Poverty is slightly more complex than that - have a look at GCPH website! If you read reports from IFS, CPAG, poverty alliance, engender, Joseph rowntree, barnarods, etc etc. You will be shocked and disgusted about what is happening in UK. It certainly is divide and conquer those in low SES have a bleak future ahead.

Hi my visa got granted on 21st team 34- AM she was so nice and helpful would always answer me promptly. Best of luck everyone!

Lol Maggie I stalked them into submission I even managed to work out a direct dial for global health they kept asking how I got it lol I was a woman on a mission and I am glad I chased them or I might still be waiting!!!

There are people starving here- food banks are growing rapidly mothers are going hungry to feed their children. If you are lucky enough not to be hit by recession then you are fortunate (I personally am unaffected), there are certainly big problems in the uk. For instance an area i used to work in when i was frontline has 55% child poverty and this is expected to rise considerably! Things are only going to get worse for people in low SES- child poverty was meant to be eradicated in 2020 however it is set to rise over next couple of years and all the work done in past 12 years is forecast to be wiped out in next 12-18 months.

Thanks Wendy I had the team lead, assistant director and director of GSM Brisbane on the case due to Global Health being useless!!! We are so excited!!

Hi KazG it's an awesome feeling! 100 days after the medical and many phone calls and emails to global health and case officer- it's all done an dusted!! flights booke for 26 August

Congratulations I thought I was bad- 100 days after medical- it was quite a stressful time! We are going to Perth in August and my tip is have lists for everything that you need to do!!! I wish you and your family all the best for the future cx

Happy holidays!!!

Oh it's so exciting! I hope you get your house sold cx

I know! It feels like it is just round the corner! I am a super organised person- I love databases and lists lol xx

Hi we are in a rental at present but we do rent out our old home- we will continue to rent it out and it will form part of our pension. I am going to keep an emergency stash in uk for any repairs or any vacant periods. We have been really lucky our tenants are good. We won't have any equity released from house (we have a good bit but just want mortgage paid off asap) so basically just going to start again! We want to save up for 1-2 year for good deposit for Aus house and take it from there! We have got rid of a lot of our belongings and I feel quite liberated for it! If you want to know about renting I can give you my story (house is in Scotland - more regulation forms than England) Where are you going in Aus? Cx

Thanks everyone I can't believe it- I swear it felt like Christmas!! We had mega problems with Global Health but it's all over now!!! Cx

We are off to Perth on 26th August! We were panicking that visa wouldn't come through on time!! We have put notice in at work already and got packers booked for 21st! Just need to get jobs and a house!! It is such a relief!!

Thank you Sahara - we will never sleep tonight so excited!!

Got our visa - such a bumpy and emotionally draining journey i feel like it's Christmas Day! Watch out Aus here we come!

Visa granted- oh excited!
