UK nursing question

by Ottalie

This is an odd one but any help is well appriciated.

I would like to complete a MSN as a FNP. I'm currently in the US, however I would like to move to the UK to live for awhile. Call it an extreme need for change...
Anyway, I know there are NPs in the UK but I don't know if a US trained NP can work as a NP in the UK. I've searched the internet and have yet to find an answer.
Also, if anyone has any insight on moving to the UK as a RN please share. I've thought about re-locating before the FNP.


Thanks,
Otta

Of course it is possible to relocate to the UK but I am unsure whether you would need to do 6 months adaptation prior to looking for a position as a NP.
You will need to go via the NMC web site www.nmc-uk.org you should be able to access information for international nurses.
Olso if you utilise the UK nursing forum you will find lots of ans to your questions.

Good Luck
