Does anyone if the current nurse training in UK is enough to work in USA?
I am concerned that it does not provide enough hours in all specialities! I am a registered adult nurse qualified since 2005.
Has anyone been able to get their licence for examination with their UK training alone, or did you have to take further courses? Did you do this in UK or USA?
Any help would be appreciated, I feel like I am hitting my head against a brick wall, and getting no information!
Gosh! do you mean California BON? I wonder if it is taking longer in your case as, by the sounds of it they are not sure about all your practice and theory hours, they also say it takes longer if you are the first person from your nursing institute/Uni to apply to that particular BON. Lets hope it's the latter reason.

CA board is known for taking absolutely ages! Easily 6 months & that's for an uncomplicated application. Just check out the international forum!
I finally got my hours worked out on my transcripts, but recieved a letter from the CA BON asking for a detiled course description/curriculum on each subject studied:uhoh3:
Is this normal? A good sign? :uhoh21:
The transcript and details my university sent included everything that was asked for on the application form from the CA BON, including a detailed breakdown of hours on all subjects.
CA BON now want the objectives and major topics of each subject, and information of my university and a overview of it's general nursing programme. I just hope my uni will help me further.
Sorry to hear that you are hitting hurdles already! I did mention previosusly that if you are the 1st person to apply from your uni, it can take longer. For start off I would go to the Uni's web page, you will be able to get a good overview about the place, size, etc, also look up the nurse programme. After that I suppose it's up to the Uni to send them more info. Are they asking you to send the unfo?
