unfortunately my boyfriend insists on living in england(jokes)
if i come to live near him - how much are RNs getting paid these days? i worked over there for 6 months in 1998 and rates were pretty low then! but i have heard they have gone up.
I would like to come over and do agency work or a short term contract (nothing longer than 6 months)
I have 10 years experience and would be working med/surg.
while i'm at it - i have also heard that the process for licensure/work permit has gotten more complicated in recent years =- has anyone recently done the transition from usa to uk? how involved was it? i have an expired uk license - don't know whether that would make it easier?
Starting pay for a RN is approx £18000.
Having a PIN will probably make it easier to come over but you would need to get in touch with the NMC and ask
The problem I see is that at the moment the NHS is suffering big financial problems and laying staff off especially nurses and using less agency staff
The pay is rubbish & the working conditions are even worse - although the conditions are better in the private sector (pay, however, is not). NMC is only port of call & they'll take your money for you to go on the MASSIVE waiting list for training places that don't exist!
I know this is very negative but it's the truth.
