I have spoken to Staffordshire University today on behalf of a friend as she was wanting to obtain her transcripts, the chap i spoke to told me that they are starting to offer post graduate courses for people who didnt get the hours in maternity, mental health and childrens nursing, which could be good news for anyone short on hours.
He said it was in answer to growing demand!!!
I suppose it could be due to the job freeze in NHS trusts

Thank you so much. Brighton University offers this course as well but I was told it will be around £500 will wait to find out how staffordshire is going to be charging. Another uni that offers the course is Otago in New zealand it's distance learning about £300. have used them there are good
the thing you have to be careful about if making hours up for another country they may prefer both theory and practical applications done together. If distant learning may be very hard to organise the practical and will need signing off by a recognised body ie uni or school of nursing

I have arranged for clinical placemtns at my work place Uni provided letter but obviously it does not mention anything about working in USA or relocating.
Brighton Uni do seem to offer the course with both theory and practice based on what the individual needs. However, it states that it is done in collaboration with O'Grady Peyton, so I wonder if you have to sign with them to be able to do the course?

When I made the enquiry i was told it does not matter so not sure if things have changed cause to thiink of it money is involved i don't think the uni would only wait for referals from O'grandy

these links are ok to post and thanks for posting. People will just have to contact maybe if the demand is high they will think about offering them generally and not in context with an agency

as long as you have official signatures and transcipts you may be ok but won't really know until you go through the process.
I don't want to put dampers on it for anyone but would hate for people to go through the process and then find that something is wrong and won't be accepted.

You could try ringing the health studies at the university and ask. I know EN has been having a few computer problems
Thankyou ever soooo much for that info, sorry I have not replied sooner, have had a few problems at home and been tired! I realllly hope this course is real as it would save me sooo much more money than trying to do the course I was looking at in canada :) will give this chap a ring!
Finally got approval from board I had to make up hours and i used a distance learning university to make up the hours and the board just sent me a letter last week approving my eligibility to sit the nclex exam if anyone is intrested PM me not sure if we are allowed to put uni am happy to put the contact details. It did not take that long to be honest if you really want to move anything is possible.
