Overseas agencies

[Clarissa26]

I am looking to nurse overseas, originally I was concentrating on the USA, but thats beginning to look impossible, so I am thinking first the UK, then Canada. My question is has anyone been to these countries through recruitment agencies or heard which are reputable and which are not.

I have only come across about 2 or 3 for Canada, but a lot for the UK. Not sure if it matters but I am not looking at going to London, a few agencies concentrate there. Thanks heaps.

What's impossible about the US. Take the NCLEX and then go for it. TAkes a year or so but they will welcome you with open arms as a few of my mates have found out. Tip: Fly over and take the exam yourself, don't go agency as you will have many more options.

Good Luck :rotfl:

Well if only it was that easy, but it's not. It is a requirement to have hours in theory and practical in both obstetrics and paediatrics before you can even be eligible to take the NCLEX, neither of which I have or can find.
