Nursing in the UK

I want so much to move to London to be a nurse there (I live in Washington State and have been a nurse for 30 years). Even if I could get a travel assignment there. Is that possible? Do they need nurses there? Do you have to take the board exam there if you come from the US? How would I go about finding more information on this?:confused:

Tp register as a nurse in the UK you need to go through the nursing and midwifery council. Take a look at the section on international nurses and that will give you the information that you need to see if you will be able to register.

You will also need to do a overseas nursing program, again the details are on the site.

The biggest problem you are going to have is getting a visa to work, unless you work in a listed shortage occupation the you are not going to be able to work in the Uk, the only nurses that are listed are some areas of critical care, in particular NICU and senior nurses.

Any UK employer has to offer work to UK then EU citizens before considering applicants from anywhere else.

Take a look around the International section and you will find lots more about the difficulties overseas nurses have in getting work in the UK at the moment
