There are plenty of registrations happening all over the world for NMBI, Hence the NMBI registration process is time-consuming but compared to the social security benefits and the career advancement Ireland offers it is worth the wait.
Attending Aptitude/ Adaptation Test:
These tests are conducted by the Ireland Hospitals once they reach there, Adaptation program is a training program conducted mainly by hospitals for the recruited nurses and has a duration of 6 to 12 weeks. These are conducted to ensure that the candidate’s competency matches with the Ireland healthcare system. For hospitals that do not conduct an adaptation program, the candidates can opt for an aptitude test (normally a 2-day exam conducted by RCSI).
