Hi Leyla
The best thing to do is to check with your employer/HR department
I once had a nurse as a client who told me she would lose her job if she was made bankrupt, but she was more involved with budgets/finances than with "proper" nursing.
I can't see any reason why you wouldn't be able to work as a nurse but it's always worth checking first.
Your partner's financial position shouldn't have any effect on it
Good luck
P.S. I understand the NMC has a code of conduct that refers to it but don't know what it says - my understanding is that registration would only be affected if the bankruptcy involved fraud or other criminal activities |

Hi
Good advice from Bridgewood.
Check your HR team and your union.
I do know nurses that have been through BR unscathed.
I wish you good fortune, Richard

HI
I am a nurse (not practicing) and i am a discharged bankrupt, I have never had problems renewing my registration with the NMC and havent had to inform the NMC.
The only time I have been asked is when I applied for a job in a nursing home as a deputy manager and you had some financial control
The only other time was agencies but nothing came of that.
I would check with HR and NHSBA Who if I am correct still run the bursary unit.
Also if your still a student nurse have a word with your tutor too

Hi
worth checking your terms of employment when you start work, however this clause is now quite old fashioned and unless your job was in the financial services industry I suspect that an employer wouldn't have a leg to stand on.
Reviva Uk have helped many nurses, doctors and consultants through bankruptcy and these roles are not restricted by being bankrupt.
The key thing as always is get specific advice from a professional and understand all of the options and all of the consequences and how they specifically effect you.

| I am also an NMC registrant and a bankrupt. I took advice from the NMC itself prior to going bankrupt. The following link is the NMC's position http://www.nmc-uk.org/aDisplayDocument.aspx?documentID=4186 There is also a relevant piece of legislation 'The Nursing & Midwifery Council (Constitution) Order 2008' (Part 2, 5., (e)). When I approached the NMC directly they said that the order is only applicable to appointed member of the council. HTH. |
