   Hello Jeunge, There is a lot of information via this site for relocating into the UK as a nurse, so try to filter to what applies to your situation. I'll tell you what I know, but unfortunately I don't know about UK visa/immigration as I am a ci...

   Gosh 3 years is a lot! I'm currently pursuing with Continental, but will explore a bit more after the holidays. I think I'll be in a better position to search after I complete my CBT. I currently work for HCA and have considered applying with them.

    Hello Ahmed, thanks again for that. How's it going so far? Can you please tell me more about the charting system and patient ratios. Has the role been more or less challenging that the U.S? Thank you ?

    LondonFog replied to Ahmad Hadi's topic in UK

    Hello Madeline. That's brilliant! So will you start as a Band 4 initially before passing the OSCE? I can't imagine you'd need much time studying either, I'm sure it's more of a refresher really. Like Lauren said, please give us a timeline of your app...

    Hello Madeline, I spoke to a recruiter and they advised buying The Royal Marsden Book to review. I believe the 10th e is the latest as I looked on their website. There are a lot of good Youtube videos that review for CBT and OSCE so I will also ...
