Lpn/uk

There are no LPN's in the UK just RN's. We used to have 2 levels of training but that was phased out years ago so although there are still some Enrolled nurses out there there is not many.

It would be unlikely that your LPN qualification would be recognised at all by the NMC as to register you must reach the practice and education requirements and this can only be done with a 3 year training. Additionally gaining working visas would be almost impossible so even if you were able to register to practice you'd be unable to work because of tightening immigration laws.

As far as supplimenting your training you would need to undertake the full RN training and you would be unlikely to get a place on the courses as they are allocated to UK students and usually have a very long waiting list. These courses are supplimented by a bursary from the government which you would not be eligable for because your not a UK national. I don't think that there are any UK universities that accept International students onto their nurse training.

Sorry

I guess I would have to wait till I do my RN and then maybe move there because I have to move there for my brother and sisters because my mother just passed away and they dont have any one els but me to take care of them. But I would have to find out what I could do to live there

NurseSuad do you have UK citizenship?

If they are UK citizens it is worth contacting the Borders agency to see what is available for you, as you would be a main carer for them. It sounds like exceptional compassionate circumstances if there is nobody else who can care for them in the UK

Oh sweetie, I am so sorry, you must be so stressed about this all. How old are your brother and sister? Contact the borders agency and discuss what you need with them.

and yes I have been a nurse for 20 years, makes me feel really old saying that, in fact I started nursing September 1988, I never wanted to be a nurse but fell into it because my mother knew a nurse tutor and there was a course who had lost half of it's students so I got roped into it. I have loved every single minute of it

Let us know how things turn out please.

And you will at some time be able to look at the new docs out of med school, tut and say nope not that way, let me show you, and when they look at you gratefully and say I'd never had thought of that you will be able to say, well I've been doing this for 20 years. Just don't give up hope or your dream
