Nov 18, 2014 Would you be looking for a work permit for the UK? We don't have internship programs or never did. It is hard enough for newly qualified nurses in the UK to look for work as it is. In any way to work as a nurse you need to meet NMC requirements and if trained outside the UK then the process has just changed

Most UK post grad study is either part time and employer requires you to do the course for example you are adult trained and doing an 18 month Paediatric course because you are working in an area that requires Paed training or distant learning/done in your own time
Shmilamy 4 Posts Nov 18, 2014 Silverdragon102, You helped me a lot and I'm really thankful. But I think I have the last one question. Is it some few month-1year courses which preparing to the test for registering nurse?

Shmilamy 4 Posts Nov 19, 2014 Is it possible to come to UK for the clinic training? I mean some practice after the finish of the academical part of study. I planned to come to UK after the receive my diploma, but now I'm thinking about earlier arriving. How do you think is it real to come and get some training? Is universities helping with it or I'll need to looking for training by myself?
