Difference in RN education

Hello

What I have wondered for a while but been unable to get a proper answer is this:

What is the difference in RN Education between the UK and the USA

The only difference I can think of is this

1-Length of time

2- Hours of placement(clinicals)

3- Branch training in the uk- ie Learning disability, Children and young people, Mental health and Adult

So what are the educational differences?

    I agree with everything you said Silverdragon102. However I wonder what you make of this:

    Some Mental health nursing students have said to me that they would possibly not have gone into nursing if they could not have gone straight into mental health because they really do not want to be doing general nursing. Same with one Learning Disability Student I know.

    What do you make of this?

    Personally I think it is a shame as they miss out on gaining some experience and a lot of the time it isn't what you think. As a student you generally are only immersed in the area for a short period which covers training requirements. As years go by experiences change us and what we think we would like/dislike changes to dislike/like.
