Post basic training in the UK

Published

Hi all, I am a Registered Mental Nurse in Trinidad. I have currently started the process to get on the NMC register with my CBT exam sitting this January. Once successful and migrated to the UK, I would like to go back to school and pursue my general nursing studies so I can be on Part 1 of their register. Does anyone knows of any school that allows a condense version of training taking into account my previous three years of training in a Psych Specialty?

Welcome to AN! You may find better advice in the dedicated UK nursing forum, as many of the posters responding in the general nursing forum would likely be from the US.

Moved to the UK forum,

Suggest contacting universities where you plan on living and working and see what requirements will be. If I remember rightly employer used to be involved due to how nurse training was funded. There used to be 18 month courses to bridge if already on the register

I think you'll have to do the full 3 years course, conversion courses aren't really provided any more.
