Can you continue to work as a nurse without a BIG registration?
If you are not registered as a nurse in the BIG register, all rights (and obligations) associated with this will lapse. Nurses without a BIG registration may continue to work as caregivers. They are then ‘nurse not practicing’ and may not use the title ‘caregiver’.

Performing reserved actions
They are also no longer allowed to perform reserved actions independently, only on the instructions of a qualified healthcare professional. However, the requirement of competence continues to apply in this case. So even a nurse who is not practising must keep his/her competence up to date at all times.
