   Hi PA Brit - I did my EN at the QE in 1981 and worked on Ward 7 at the Birmingham Maternity (Matty) 1981-1983 and also 1985. I`m sure we know a few of the same people from there! I know a lot of the midwives! I moved here in 1989 - would love to ca...

7. How do I .......

   Hyacinth55 replied to scootergirl1's topic in International

   Hi Sue, I am definitely going to question that decision - I was ready to just go with the flow and just do the ONP. I will call them and find out how the decision was made that I do the ONP and who I can appeal to in order to possibly change or re...

10. How do I .......

    Hyacinth55 replied to scootergirl1's topic in International

    Hi Sharrie, Definitely a thought! My youngest graduates High School in 2012 and I`m looking at possibly working in the UK through an agency for a while or as a travel nurse once he is done. I started my registration with the NMC with the idea that ...

    Hyacinth55 replied to scootergirl1's topic in International

    Hi Sue, Your post got me thinking. I am a Brit, did not take the English test, completed my SEN in 1981, my ADN 1996, BSN 2001 and Masters in 2008 and I have to do the ONP? In your post you did not have to do the ONP - is it because you went through...

14. British/US Passport

    Hyacinth55 replied to Hyacinth55's topic in International

    Everything I`ve read on the UK and the US passport sites definitely states that you can have dual citizenship and carry a US and UK passport. When I posted this thread I was just debating whether it would be worth it to me to renew my UK passport af...

15. Are we deskilling

    Hyacinth55 replied to XB9S's topic in UK

    My sheets are also done the same way just as I learned as an SEN in the UK back in 1979! Some things we learned as 18 yr old nurses would be very difficult to undo 25-30 yrs later, Bloss
