UK nursing agencies

World International

Published

I'm a Canadian RN working in elderly care and currently processing my UK registration. I am wondering if anyone has uncovered any info on the best agencies to head to the UK with. I have heard of BUPA and health professionals. Any others? It is difficult to know how to check them out. Most sites have testimonials but no way of contacting the nurses to find out first hand. I've also thought of heading over on my own (I'm have my dual citizenship) to get a job but not sure if they'd hire me that way. Sure would appreciate any thoughts on this.:D

Does someone have links for BUPA and the others. Thanks.

Specializes in LTC.

For a US nurse to work in the UK, is a 4-year BSN degree required, or can any RN from the US work in the UK?

Hi

From what I can gather an RN can work in the UK a BSN degree isn't required, check the NMC web site you should be able to get more details from it. They have a international link.

http://www.nmc-uk.org and the Nursing Times web site is http://www.nursingtimes.net and you might be able to find out what sort of jobs are available
