Nursing School in the UK

Published

Specializes in TB nursing/ research.

I am a recent ADN RN grad and would like to know if I can continue my nursing education in the UK, and then get the UK license. I have a European passport and have previously lived in the UK.

Any info would be helpful.

Thanks very much.

Not sure what the universities would think of accepting an EU passport holder to a UK college, I expect that as an non UK national they would be reluctant to accept you for a place in nursing school, and if they did it would be costly. Places in nurse training are supported by the government and there is usually quiet a waiting list to get in, priority would be given to UK nationals.

You would have to do the whole course rather than transfer as the training is very different and I doubt that any credit would be transferred from your previous study.

The best advice I could give would be to contact the university you would want to train with and ask about international students and nursing degrees

Specializes in Medical and general practice now LTC.

To not qualify for International status I believe you have to have lived in the UK for 3 years. Also not sure if the NMC will accept ADN as generally you have to have x amount of hours both theory and practical (usually equates to 3 years training) NMC overseas section
