where can i find a school that will provide top up thoery/clincal hours for the usa

Published

Hi all,

there is probably a thread for my question however,i cannot seem to find it or im just not looking hard enough.

Feel free to put this thread where applicable.

I am aware of all the usa requirements to become a nurse there and will probably take me a couple of years. Living and working in the usa is a long term goal for me so I am willing to do the necessary steps, whilst gaining enough exp in the uk prior.

This is a bit short fall as i dont graduate till feb 2012. I am seraching for schools possibly in the uk that allows for the top ups. As i am a adult nurse i would require all other branches to even pass cgfn. Please could someone advise me on this or even aaplying as a guest student in the usa. how long will it take to complete these either in the uk or usa, before i can even think of applying to cgfn. Becoming a guest student if that is the route, will that still require a student visa?

To the best of my knowledge and what has been posted on here no place in the UK that offers catch up for hours required by the US. If you are looking at the US to do the catch up it means contacting nursing schools and seeing if they will accept you as a guest student for the required hours

Hi,

Thanks for your reply, as i already mentioned not graduating till feb 2012 so just tying to find out what would need to be done closer to the time, so just graduate first off all.

Do you know anybody who has been sucessful in the guest student route? how long does it usually take to complete? does it require a student visa?

Nothing can really be done until you graduate and have a complete set of transcripts.Even then there is no guarantee that retrogression is over so you may still have a long wait ahead of you for a visa
