Newly qualified nurse with NMC conditions. NHS job advice please

[CuriousNurseUK]

Hi everyone, looking for some advice please.
I’m a newly qualified nurse with conditions on my registration from the Nursing and Midwifery Council. One of the restrictions is that I must be supervised when administering medication until I’m signed off as competent.
Because of this, I’m worried about applying for nursing posts straight away. I’m considering applying for a Healthcare Assistant role in the NHS first to rebuild my confidence and get back into the clinical environment.
Has anyone been in a similar situation, or does anyone know if NHS trusts would employ someone with NMC conditions in either a nursing role or as a Healthcare Assistant?
I’m really keen to get back into health care, just feeling unsure where to start.
Any advice would be really appreciated.

Hi, why does it worry you to be supervised until you’re signed off? Isn’t it just part of the newly qualified transition? I remember it being quite daunting at first and would have welcomed some support.
I’m sure it won’t be long until you’re supervising others (especially if you’re working in the NHS)
Good luck, go with it

@Plantyshazfan , listening to the OP, it's nothing to do with being newly qualified. I suspect they're had been a medication error somewhere along the way which has been significantly escalated.

OP, correct me if I am wrong, it sounds as if her regulatory body (NMC) have placed conditions on her practice, which is very different.

OP, I'm not sure what being an HCA will achieve? I think anyone interviewing for that would be a) very hesitant b) very curious (you'll have to declare it anyway). I don't see what you would gain.

Theyre are also some issues with practising as an HCA when when qualified as an RN, you need to check this because I believe it's along the lines of the expectations being that of an RN rather than an HCA IYSWIM. But, as I say, please check this and don't rely on a randomer off the internet.

Are you a union member OP? I would strongly recommend that you get specialist advice for your situation.

Best of luck.
