View answerI have received a report from the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Ireland (NMBI) on this issue.
I understand that the applicant applied for registration in the General Nurse Division of the Register on 19th September, 2016. As part of the application process the applicant was required to furnish certain documentation with her completed application form. The application was reviewed in the Registration Department of the NMBI on 26th September 2016. Following this review an email was sent to the applicant on 27th September 2016. However, no response was received. A further email was sent on 27th January 2017. A response was received and the application was reviewed on 27th February 2017. I understand that a decision will issue to the applicant in the coming days.
