arghh - slow moving at the NMC!
I have just got to have a moan and rant at the NMC.
On their website it states you can request your verifications via email and a member of staff will ring you back to check and take payments details. tried that twice, no one phoned back. So wrote to them with all the details and payment (again, as instructed to do on their website) Checked bank statements, they have banked cheque 2 weeks ago but today got a letter saying I've got to fill in an application form before they can consider my request and asking for a further payment of £34. I did ask them why I've got to do this when they already accepted payment but received no clear answer.
Grrrrrrr!
I'm also trying to sort out my transcripts, usual story, school of nursing closed, cannot locate any info, so ANMC have asked for confirmation of my training etc to come from NMC, a common request according to the helpful lady at the ANMC. However, the NMC are behaving as though I've asked them to perform a miracle and seem unable to provide anything apart from an almost illegible copy of the general syllabus in place nationally when I trained.
Grrrrrr - again
I know the NMC have lots of other obligations but considering they are always putting up their fees and I've never asked them for anything before it is most annoying, put politely.
Sorry about that, feel better now (well, a bit!)

Re: arghh - slow moving at the NMC!
Hi Sammy, I had similar probs with NMC regarding my transcripts. Phoned the first time, lady there assured me no such thing were kept at NMC, she was 100% positive despite me telling her i knew loadsa nurses that had requested them! Anyway, put the phone down, phoned again.....second lady said, "yes we used to send them, not any more", phone down again....third time phoned lady said "certainly, whats your name etc??" dead helpful......so the moral is try, try again! Their communication skills leave a lot to be desired.
We should start a new thread on what us nurses here actually think what NMC actually stands for!! If i put what i think it would cause a riot!!

I had the same probs re the transcript of training as I qualified in 1985 my school of nursing is loooong closed.
The ANMC sent me a form to fill in and then swear to in front of a solicitor to say that I completed my training on such and such date and got PIN no blah blah blah. That was easy and fine, though yet another thing to pay a solr for!
The NMC were useless with me too, I asked for a verification in Nov last year which, fair dues, they sent BUT as I expired and had to pay at end of Jan , by the time the ANMC looked at it I had expired in their eyes and had to pay ANOTHER £34.
When I queried it with them (NMC) they said "Oh, we would NEVER do that with such a short time to renewing..."
Dur, well, you did! Ummm, what service ARE we paying for exactly??
Arrrgghh!

Just read your thread. I had same problem when I moved to Ireland in '04. They cashed the cheque but denied having form. In my usual assertive way (bull in a chinashop), I threw a wobbly on the phone as I was supposed to be starting work, but couldn't register here because of NMC cock-up. Low and behold, they faxed me another form which I faxed back immediately. Problem solved- unfortunately not only did they send my verification to Ireland, but also to Holland (I think- somewhere over there anyway LOL).
Hope they sort it out for you soon

Re: arghh - slow moving at the NMC!
Yep, quite agree!
Spent ages on phone yesterday, can't seem to speak to anyone who has the faintedt clue what I'm talking about, which seems quite strange when you think about the numbers of nurses emigrating.
Fingers crossed, I'll get throught to the right person next week.

Re: arghh - slow moving at the NMC!
Right ....his name is Edward Mingle and the phone number is 020 7333 9333
not sure if that is a direct number or a general number, but the other number for NMC is at bottom of the letter he sent me 020 7637 7181
Hope this is of some help to people!

Re: arghh - slow moving at the NMC!
I had no problems 2 years ago - there must be a big influx of nurses wanting to leave the country - wonder why
hope you all get sorted soon.

Re: arghh - slow moving at the NMC!
Thanks guys.
Still chasing them also for my verification, long story, they obviously recieved my request cos they banked the cheque, then sent me another letter saying I had to complete another form and pay again! They now reckon they never received first payment or letter, in which case why did they write to me about it!
Will try these numbers tomorrow.

Re: arghh - slow moving at the NMC!
My monies for NMC verification got cashed 3/4/07 and I have only just got their letter today confirming that they have sent it to QNC, although the letter was dated 12/4/07.
So hopefully you should here from them soon.
