   JodieMay replied to JodieMay's topic in General Nursing

   I appreciate the differences in practice. I have worked in the UAE, totally different there too. The day's are gone, in the UK at least, when nurses are considered mere hand maidens to the almighty doctors. Yet there are people on these forums still...

2. Nurse Practitioner UK

   JodieMay replied to JodieMay's topic in General Nursing

   We do have liability and litigation here too. As I previously mentioned, as ANP's we are autonomous practitioners, who are able to make autonomous decision's for which we are accountable. This does not stop all healthcare professionals working togeth...

   That would be pretty hard to get my head around, especially on the work's night out

8. UK Nurses working abroad

   You have many years ahead of you before you would be able to work abroad. It depends really on where you want to work as to the length of time required. You cannot just go work abroad after finishing your RN in the UK. There are visa issues and licen...

9. have any of the ogp nurses from around 6 years ago managed to get to the usa?

   JodieMay replied to english_nurse's topic in International

   I've been reading these forums with interest for many years, but never actually posted anything on here. I signed up with OGP in 2004, my PD is Feb 2006. I have not heard a peep out of OGP for months now, used to get the regular monthly email with up...
