 Hi everyone, my name is Claire Carmichael, thank you so much for tuning in and this is a vlog all about applying for your NMC pin because as some of you know if you're following on my Instagram you've seen I finally had the email which I'm going to put here, I finally had the email to register for my NMC pin which feels like a long long wait but it's finally here, I've had to wait to do this for you all because I wanted to record it and show you, take you through the process of how to apply for your pin when it comes to that point. So just a quick brief, so when you come to the end of your degree, your finished university, you'll get all your results back, you'll get your degree classification which is the next step, it depends very much when your exam board is so our exam board, even though I finished in November, our exam board wasn't until the January because there were still students making up hours on placement, they were still doing retakes and things like that and we were still technically employed as well by the university in December so our exam board wasn't until January so it's been a very long wait for me, it feels like, so then once the exam board is done, so our exam board was on the 9th of January then we got our results and overall classification all confirmed and sent to us on the 16th of January so a week later, so and then 24 hours later we had our emails finally from the NMC saying that we can register for our pin, which is what I got last night, however I was driving last night and I really wanted to do this video of you guys, so I've been waiting all night to do this to show you, I hope you appreciate it. I finally had my email from NMC, they will send you an email to your university email, you will follow the link in the email to register for your pin which is what I'm doing now, so on your email it'll give you your pin number, so when you click the link from the email and you it will take you to this page here which is your NMC online, you can log in if you've already got an email and password which we haven't because we're not registered yet or new to the NMC register so we're going to click that then I have an NMC pin, we have an NMC pin because they've sent it in the email, so on this page you have to confirm your email address, your surname, your pin, your date of birth, obviously I'm not going to show you this screen because that's confidentiality so I'm just going to quickly fill it in now and then come back to the next page once we've filled it in, so once you've filled out that first page with your details it'll take you to this next page which is to enter your account password which is a new password that you're going to set up and then the little exciting button register so we are going to register email, so it's come up email verification check your

on there but I'm just going to have a look at the emails now so I have had an email to say your application has been received what happens next so they're going to process the application you'll receive an email to confirm that you've been registered and then you can log back on and check your status on your nmc online so now it's just a waiting game again by the looks of it to wait for my registration from what I've heard from other people it can take anything from an hour to a few days most people say within an hour or two your registration is live and you can actually see it I don't know because it's Saturday if that makes a difference I don't know or whether I'll have to wait till Monday who knows but either way by the time you watch this video I'm going to be a registered nurse guys so yeah so that's it from me I just wanted to run through those things with for you so that you're maybe more prepared when you come to register with the nmc so you're you've got a little bit more knowledge on what to do and how the process is because I know that's something I was asking all the time on social media and everyone was sort of like what do we do because no one sort of told us anything so I really hope that this video helps you out there and just get a little bit more prepared and sort of put you at ease and what to expect with registering online to get your pin so thank you so much as always for watching and I shall see you next time
