Unless you meet the requirement for the shortage list then I am sure you are going to struggle to get work as a RN. Plus you will need to sort NMC requirements out

Using the student visa is not a short cut to getting a job in the UK. As I mentioned in the other post in the UK forum UK has reached one of it's highest unemployment figures for a long time over 2 million out of work and any employer must prove that they was unable to fill job with a UK citizen or legal resident who has a work permit before allowing someone from outside the EU.

I really think you are going to have big problems and will have to consider returning home once you have finished your course
