Nursing in England

World International

Published

I have been a Registered nurse for >3yrs, working in ECU/trauma center. I am moving to England, close to Cambridge and Bury, and want to work over there as a RN, I've been Considering obtaining the Highly Skilled Immigrant Work Permit (which allows me to go to an employer w/a work permit already), which is very expensive, but worth it to me if i can get a job easier, but i am unsure if i really need it or not? Do you recommend it? Will i have any problems finding an employer to sponsor me for a work permit if i don't obtain this highly skilled permit? Any recommended employers to check out near Cambridge or Bury that will employ me? Thank you in advance so much for any info you can provide me with!! :uhoh3:

Specializes in Neonatal nursing (paediatric trained).

Are you suggesting I didn't give the OP real information? I'm hardly offering hearsay - I'm an American who has faced these exact problems, trained in the UK as a nurse and am also working in the UK (I had ILR by this point due to my personal circumstances - this is not typical). While I would never discourage someone from looking at the actual government and immigration websites, they can be quite confusing.

And, no, you can't go to school for nursing and then work as a nurse in the UK. Not at this moment in time.
