Rn w/o 12 months exp looking to work in UK

Hi Everyone!

I just joined the site and I'm not sure if I'm posting in the correct place but I need help and info so I hope someone can give me some direction!

I recently graduated with my BSN and passed my NCLEX in February. I have my heart set on working in the UK for a year and traveling before really starting my career back here in the US. I know I don't have the 12 months experience to register with the NMC to work as an RN, but I was wondering if anyone knows any other options for me. I want to work in a hospital or clinic so I can continue learning and being involved with nursing somehow while I'm on my year of travel and adventure. I know the UK doesn't have LPN's but is there something similar that I can do so I can still use my nursing skills and work in a nursing environment? I know my timing doesn't make the most sense and I should wait until i work for a year, but my heart is set on going. I just want to be involved with nursing somehow. I guess I could always work as a nursing assistant, which I believe is similar to a nurses aid here in the US. I am a dual Canadian citizen so getting a visa is not a problem. With my visa I will be able to work so I just want to find a job that I can learn and stay as sharp as possible on my nursing skills before coming back to be an RN in the US.

Any information would be a BIG help! I love this nursing community! Thanks everyone!

xoxo,
Marissa
