Welcome to Allnurses.com............
You are definitely going to need to have the hours in mental health, as well as peds/maternal health before you will be permitted to sit for the licensing boards here. The stipulation with the hours is that they are done in an approved School of Nursing, and not just by working or volunteering on a unit that has those types of patients. It must include clinical as well as theory hours.
You will also need to get a Visa Screen Certificate, once you actually graduate from school and have the required hours, you can do this at
www.CGFNS.org and download the application from them. Your English exams are waived. So you will only need to pass NCLEX-RN exam.
Be aware that with getting everything done and going thru the proper channels, or having your green card in hand before you come over, you are looking at least at about one year after you have completed the NCLEX exam before you will be able to work here.
You won't be able to get approval for the NCLEX exam until your credentials have been evaluated.
Please check out the International, as well as UK forums for more information about this. There is already quite a bit posted.
