Hi MandaAnda,

I was hoping that you could clarify about the UK neonatal units. It is my plan to work towards my NNP (masters degree for neonatal nurse practitioner) here in the states while working in a NICU. By the time I finish I'll have about 5 years NICU experience. How do you think my chances will fare?

I think with 5 years NICU experience you stand a good chance and even though you may not be able to go straight into a NNP post the fact that you have a NNP degree will stand you in very good stead.

When you do find a hospital that you want to work in give the manager a call and have a chat about your experience and qualifications.

Thanks, sharrie. One of the reasons I am going the NNP route is to get the more advanced training to work in a NICU. I currently work in one as a unit secretary (working right now, actually), and plan to work when I finish with my nursing program.

Thank you for the suggestion...when I get to that point, I will definitely do that.

Yep, I totally agree with what Sharrie said above. Of course, that all depends on the need for nurses at that time, but we really need more neonatal nurses. And, funnily enough, I worked as a medical secretary in paeds/neonates in the UK before starting my training.

Totally understood! Thanks for responding!

I miss my family (grown kids) but am so happy to be away from George Bush. (By the way, I offer you my apologies for his behaviour, as the American citizen I am. I did not, however, vote for him....either time.)

AMEN! I second that apology! I didn't vote for him either, the silly git!

So, immigrating can be done, but with great amounts of frustration and cash. I wish it were easier to get into the UK. I, too, love that country and I've spent a goodly amount of time over there. I envy you, gailmaries, you get to live there and work in a profession you love!! Well done, you!!:yeah:
