Has anyone traveled to the UK for nursing. What was your experience? I also would like to know what companies it is that does this?

I've never been to the UK. But I hear that the pay isn't very good. If you are planning to travel there, not move there, you will live in dorms with community kitchen etc.

But I bet it would be a very interesting experience. I also hear they practice much differently than we do.

I used to know of some websites but I got a new computer and so you might want to google it.

Check out the UK Forum, as well as the International Forum, you will find helpful tips there.

You will need to go thru the regular licensing process with NMC first, and that definitely is not an instant thing. Takes about one year. They do not have travel assignments like we do, but there is per diem agecny work.

I have recently seen one or two companies advertising for travel assignments in the UK but until I have received actual feedback about them, I would not recommend any. Too many issues with a start up company when it involved overseas travel and work.

I actually got my license in the UK, but never went. It took about 8 mos.
