I assume you did the V300 not the V100/150? If I remember correctly, I passed the V300 at the end of June and was up and prescribing by the end of September. It doesn't take too long to have it registered with the NMC, and your NMP lead should sort ...

Hi Belle and welcome :) What you wrote reminded me very much of myself some 20 years ago. I always felt uncomforatble the first weeks of placement and the chopping and changing around really does not help you feel a part of the team. All I can say to...

I agree that for general nurses with little or no experience then obtaining a work visa for the UK is nearly impossible, but for those with specialist skills and years of experience, it can be done. As I said before, I work with an Australian nurse w...
Tanvi Tusti replied to topscot's topic in International
Yes that is right, I think topscot was just trying to point out that there is no job freeze for nurses here in the UK. I work with an Australian nurse that came over to the UK a couple of months after I returned. She was able to get a Tier 2 visa, I ...
Tanvi Tusti replied to topscot's topic in International
I must say I have to agree with you topscot. When I came back from Oz there was no shortage of jobs for me to apply for, most trusts have a nurse shortage, I havent seen a job freeze anywhere. I looked into at least 15 trusts and available jobs befor...
Tanvi Tusti replied to BRITMALE79's topic in International
Can I ask, have you ever actually been to Oz or NZ? If not I would certainly suggest a visit before making the permanent move. I can't comment on NZ because I have never been there. We were in Sydney both times, which is one of the more expensive pla...

Hi Brit and welcome I have just got back from working 18 months in Australia. It was my second stint of work there. I loved it, great people, great weather and the job is pretty much like here in the UK. Your UK diploma in nursing will be sufficient...

Hi Rachael Im here on a temporary worker employer sponsered visa. I signed a 6 month contract but made it very clear to my employer that should any problems arise back home I obviously would need to go. They were fine about it, its very easy to get y...

Hi Is there any reason why you want to apply under subclass 136? If you're an RN its easy and quick to apply under subclass 457, most employers will sponser you. When you get there its just a formality to apply for 121/856. All allow your family to a...
OK fine, you have your opinion, I have mine and yes it might be your "true" experience of living in the usa, you are one of the lucky ones. My husband, who is American through and through, born there, parentage from way back, never set foot out of th...
Personally I find what you have said very insulting. How do you think I got to the position I am in now? I worked very hard to get there and have "excellent clinical skills and knowledge" (your words, not mine). I once was an "average nurse" as you p...
I am just saying that when we live in the states (dependant obviously on the area) we have less free income than we do when living in the UK. This isn't so obvious in Seattle, where our apartment was $740 a month, health insurance just short of $400 ...
I am not in any way comparing the US to the north of England, Im just saying that in my situation and where I would have gone to in the States I would be financially worse off. Anyway, who are you to comment about the US being better than the UK? Fr...
