British Nurses emigrating to BC

[BRITMALE79]

Hi all,

I posted in the Student area but it all seemed to be aimed at the US, so I thought I would try my luck in here.

My wife and I start college here in the uUK in September, and in four years will both graduate with a Bsc in Adult Nursing.

The degree now allows for candidates to experience rotations in all departments despite the course being titled as ADULT Nursing.

We both want to move our family to BC, and want to know apart from the CRNE, what are we looking at as far as time scale, extra exams and estimated costs (educational costs) to be eligible to work in BC.

If there are any ex-pats who have done what we are doing, I would really appreciate any advice.

Thanks in advance.

Simon

Exactly, Silverdragon. There are entire little ghettos of ex-pats all over the country. Nanaimo on the Island, down around Victoria, on the lower mainland there are people who have been here since the '60s who have suddenly become "ex-pats" and hang out in theme pubs, moan that the fish and chips aren't the same and that CBC has pre-empted Corrie for the Stanley Cup!
