Overseas nurses programme (ONP)

If you application meets our minimum standards, you will then have to complete an overseas nursing programme (ONP).

We strongly recommend that you secure your place on an ONP before travelling to the UK.

The ONP sets out common entry standards, a compulsory 20-day period of protected learning for all nurses trained outside the European Economic Area (EEA) and, where appropriate, a period of supervised practice.
 
You will not be able to work as a nurse without having completed the programme, even if your application to join the NMC register is successful.

The following Approved Educational Institutions (AEI's) currently run the ONP. Please note this information is subject to change.
