But there is a Tier 1 Post Study UK Visa which allowing one to live and work in the UK for up to 2 years after obtaining a UK degree or above qualification.

I doubt nursing will meet tier 1 as it is classed as a highly skilled worker and must score 95 points, Very hard for someone outside the UK to be able to do their nurse training, preference is given to UKC

You must score:

* 75 points for your attributes (age, qualifications, previous earnings, and experience in the United Kingdom); and

* 10 points for English language; and

* 10 points for available maintenance (funds).

Post-study workers are free to look for work without having a sponsor for the length of their leave. The category provides a bridge to highly skilled or skilled work. If you are granted permission to stay as a post-study worker, we expect that you will switch into another tier of the points-based system as soon as you are able to.

Attributes Points available

United Kingdom qualification 20

Studied at United Kingdom institution 20

Immigration status during United Kingdom study and/or research 20

Date of award of qualification 15

English language 10

My friend finished her masters there already last December 2008 and she has her visa now and been working. So I don't think it's impossible. You are eligible for the post study visa once you get a degree.

Just have to try and believe. Positive attitude. What the mind want, it finds.
