I am a third year adult nurse on the degree course. I am looking into relocating to the US after a year of experience in the UK. As I grew up in New Jersey, visas are not an issue.
Hi everyone! I just wanted to follow-up with some updates. I received my endorsement for my NJ license a few weeks ago which I was convinced I wasn't going to get. My university didn't really outline my hours on my transcript but I spoke to an asses...

Do you live in NJ? I applied for mine recently too and they mailed me a form (I live in NJ). I'm not sure how it works if you live out of state. The fingerprints are how they check for criminal records. If you live out of state I recommend phoning th...

Sorry for the delay in response! I've heard NY is a bit more flexible with the requirements? I'm not sure if it's true. My university was quite good in ensuring we had exposure to the other branches of nursing. I also used CGFNS for verification. I...
I am a UK Adult Nurse (qualified in 2013) and I have just met the requirements for US nursing (by the NY BON). From frequently reading UK to US nurses posts, I was convinced that I would never be able to work in the States. If it's qualifications you...

Kings-I used to work in the emergency department there. It is a busy hospital (one of the busiest in the country) but a good teaching hospital so you'll have many opportunities. I haven't heard great things about Barts. And kings is affiliated with a...
Hi Emma, Sorry I cannot answer your question but I was wondering if you'd be able to tell me about your process? I'm moving back to the states in December and waiting for the BON to send me my letter (I should receive it in the next few weeks). When ...
