conversion courses

[gnatercia]

I am seeking information related to conversion courses, Enrolled Nurse/mental to RMN. I was out of the country for almost 12 years and would like to rejoin the NHS. I am told that I need to attend return to practice training as well as attend a conversion course. Does anyone know where this sort of training and courses take place? Thank you.

Could you be more specific as to which country you are referring? We can try to steer you in the right direction then :).

Thank you for your reply. I have a UK certificate (EN/M). Also, my registration with the UKCC expired in 1993. I called the NMC to renew pin and they were the ones telling me that I would need to receive a return to practice training as well as attend a conversion course. From 1993 to until last year I was in the USA studying psychology (B.A in child development). I am now back in England and would like to back to nursing, however I am a bit lost cause the system changed a fair bit. Your ideas and guidance are most welcome.
