India to United Kingdom registered nurse pathway
The NMC overseas-trained process covers the whole UK. It verifies identity, qualification and registration evidence, assesses English and the other registration standards, and decides whether you need to sit a Test of Competence. Recruitment rules and immigration sit outside professional registration and follow their own requirements.

Nigeria to United Kingdom registered nurse pathway
The NMC runs the same overseas-trained process across the whole UK; there is no Nigeria-specific shortcut to registration. Separately, the England recruitment code restricts active recruitment of people resident in Nigeria, though it still allows a direct application to a specific sponsoring employer's vacancy. That rule depends on where you live, and it does not stop the NMC from registering you.
