Continental Travelnurse?


Anyone traveled with this company or talked to them? They do assignments in the UK, Scotland, and Northern Ireland.

If not this company, has anyone done travel nursing in the UK? Would be interested to hear some experiences or advice.

I am presently working with continental travel agency and wanting to start a contract in Feb 09. I am a brit and just got my RN license in the UK. (I live in San Antonio TX) In order to be able to work over in the UK and get your RN you have to have a BSN, and as for the visa's I am not sure how that goes. The contracts are only for 13 weeks, so I am not sure how the permits go. The agency are very very helpful, they really do know how to handle the nursing board in the UK. They deal with a lot of nurses from Australia and New Zealand. I went to their office when I was back in the UK last year. I have also been in contact with some of the nurses who have taken contracts with them from the USA. Good luck and if you phone them ask for Roz.

I am currently working on getting my license through the NMC (I have dual citizenship and my BScN) and Roz is my recruiter and she has been amazing, helpful and ontop of everything. Can't say a bad word about her. From what I hear about traveling the recruiter can make or break your experience and so far she has been making this a wonderful experience.
