Re-entering the register

[Whoisit101]

I am considering coming out of nurse retirement to go back on the nursing register. I am 4 years out. Someone has suggested to me that if i have 750 (?) hrs within the last 5 years I can re enter without going through a course. ( I would have enough hours)

I have a possible option to do a job that is not hands on which would suit me as I don't want to go back to role I left.

My reasons are primarily financial as my circumstances have changed somewhat.

Im just investigating this as an option at the moment but was wondering if anyone has done this, or at least, know if what I've been told is accurate?
All information is welcome. Thanks in advance.

Yes, my colleague just went through similar (she’s taking up a role not patient facing also). 759 hours definitely rings a bell. Wishing you all the best.

my colleague says it’s great to have her brain working again 😂

Thanks for that mralladinsir, Im not in a position to do a course due to commitments and geography so to get back with an adequate amount of hours would be great. Hope this comes off.
