:uhoh3:What can U say about our KABABAYAN who are going there to take NVQ 3-4 they are registered nurses here, who are using student visa working in nursing homes and they are promised to received royal certification and can immigrate in any country opening their doors such as Canada, Australia and US.. they have to pay 200k+ and said they will be earning 700-1000 pounds do you think it would be enough for the expenses such as housing which will range from 50-80 pounds to add from that you have salary deduction for your fee 1500-1700 pounds for agency that you will be paying for fifteen months....and by student visa you can work 20 hrs and 20 hrs for the training which paid and you can work overtime...I think you'll just be working just to give the money for the agency para yumaman sila...hayzzz..

I'm still weighing if to or not to go to UK...

I doubt you can work overtime as student visa is strict and can only work 20 hours during terms, you may work more when on holiday. £700-1000 a month really isn't much and will definitely not leave any money to send home. Rent on average is £300+ a month depending on where and what. If you don't drive then relying on public transport which isn't too bad but can be restricted depending again on where you live. I don't think giving a 'royal certificate' will help with other countries. You will still have to meet their requirements, same as does a UK citizen who wants to move and work overseas.As I mentioned before working as a carer will not help you as experience as countries will require experience as a RN not carer.

Specializes in NICU.

hello,

my question is similar to the one originally posted. my background is this, a 4 year bscn, with one year on nicu level 3 experience, a british passport and a pin number to the nmc with my application in progress. i believe from all that i have read on here and from the research that i have done that i should be qualified to get my license and i am eligible to get a job based on my british citizenship.

so i am wondering if anybody can tell me of any good nicu's either private or through the nhs, specifically in london. i am looking for a level 3 nursery position.

thanks for your help

if your looking for nicu i think you are going to have to look with the nhs there are very few private hospitals that provide critical care cover as far as i am aware, i think if icu is needed then transfers to nhs care are made.

Also to add London will be very expensive so may want to think about elsewhere. There are many good hospitals throughout the UK

neonatal nursing is a shortage occupation, but if you have british citizenship, you shouldn't have to go through work permit/visa drama. you already have your nmc application going, which is great. i've done all of my applying through www.jobs.nhs.uk (the previous link for nhs careers given to you will link you there anyway).

although some of these may be closed now, i've applied at nicus at the following hospitals: hillingdon (west london), watford (hertfordshire), the john radcliffe (oxford), university college london hospital (very central london), homerton university hospital (north-ish london), royal surrey county hospital (guildford - southwest-ish london), barts & the london (east london) and chelsea & westminster (central/west london).

out of those, so far i've been shortlisted for hillingdon (interviewed and offered the post - will most likely take it; a level 2), uclh (interviewed only this week), chelsea & westminster and the london.

i live just outside london myself with good transport links into london and also drive. living actually in london is expensive, but you normally get high cost living allowance on top of your salary to accommodate for that.

if you specifically want a level 3 unit, i suggest you look at this website. http://www.neonatal.org.uk/ as a result of a department of health report in 2003, units around the country have been amalgamated into networks to ensure that there is an equal spread of levels across each area. therefore, some hospitals that were previously a level 3 (such as the one i'll likely go to) have been changed. the website tells you which hospital is at what level and a bit about it. have a look at this section. http://www.neonatal.org.uk/healthcare+professionals/map+of+networks/

hope that helps!

Like RGN1 said, you have to be from the EU or considered highly skilled. And while all bands of nurses used to qualify for the HSMP (Highly Skilled Migrant Programme), I think that it is only Band 7 and higher at the moment (which means lots of experience needed, as you'd be managing a lot). Also, while UK neonatal units are crying out for nurses, I'm pretty sure the above will still stand on that. And, as far as the government sees it, we have enough adult branch, child branch and midwifery students to fill that need (although I don't agree at all...still).

Hi MandaAnda,

I was hoping that you could clarify about the UK neonatal units. It is my plan to work towards my NNP (masters degree for neonatal nurse practitioner) here in the states while working in a NICU. By the time I finish I'll have about 5 years NICU experience. How do you think my chances will fare?
