Any American Nurses in London ??

Published

Hello, I have moved from New York to London for exploring my nursing skills and knowledge, but I feel like I am de-graded myself. I work at a neurological hospital in London. It is so hard to educate nurses to teach our level of nursing knowledge ( US). I was CCRN, CNRN and palliative care NP in New York. I am still same but my education, knowledge, skills are not useful in here. I try to bring the level of nursing standard up in the ward, but they do not want to change. I feel so sorry for patients and few nurses who are from other countires. I got to stay here because I married, and I am giving up to bring the level of nursing standard up. It may be impossible to change it because Uk nursing standard behind than US, Australian, Canadan nursing standards. if anyone know, American nurses meeting group in London, let me know, Thanks :confused:

I am sorry but I don't think the UK is behind but different. I am working in Canada so have experienced both and find Canada in some things behind in what I do but I am not trying to change it but do what the Canadians do or at least say something along the lines, this is how we tried something in the UK could we try it here. Also if you feel things should be done a little different suggest small moves for small trials.
