Re: What is the best path to take?
Hi Josh,
I'm not sure where you are from but I'm guessing the US? As far as I am aware you would need the three year course and not one of the two year / accelerated ones as the number of clincal and theory hours wouldn't be enough.
You would need to be considering a permenant position really as you would be expected to complete a preceptorship period, so travel nursing wouldn't be an option, I'm not sure it really exists in the UK. I knew of nurses who would work for an agency that could get short term placements in various hospitals but not the travel nurse programme that exists in the US.
At the moment this is all academic as there is no overseas recruitment in the UK as nursing is not a shortage occupation - but you have several years to complete nurse training and I have seen nurses go from "a feast to a famine" so things may change. Hope this helps?
