U.K. Nursing - CBT test
Hi Kaitlyn, I am from Canada, looking to get licensed in the UK also. I am from there originally, I have dual citizenship, so all I need to do is get my nursing license and then I'll be good to move back permanently. Have you found any resources? I am struggling also... My email is [email protected], would be nice to have a buddy through all this if you want to keep in touch! Thanks :)

Canadian RN to UK (England)
Thank you SO much! I am in a contract here in Toronto until Oct 2019 so the timing could be perfect for me. I've always planned to come back home just never known the right time - I think this could be the sign I am looking for :) Thanks again!

American Nurses in U.K
Hi Kaitlyn, I am new to this website and am not sure how to send you a private message. I added you as a friend, I'm not sure if that does anything lol - but I would really like to speak with you regarding the process as I am looking to go back to England. I am in Canada currently, but a UK citizen as I was born there and kept my dual citizenship. My email is [email protected] or if you wanna message me on here thats cool too I just don't know how to do it! Hope to hear from you soon x

Canadian RN to UK (England)
Hi there! This is my first post - SO, the story is, I am a registered nurse here in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. I obtained my BScN from York University in 2016, have been working since. I am a UK citizen, born in England, I still have dual citizenship. I have been looking to move back for some time now. With this nursing shortage/ NHS campaign going on, I think it may be in my favour. I have surgical hospital nursing experience, and currently I am in Corporate Health. Just wondering if anyone has ever been through this process before, I am a bit worried about the OSCE scenarios as I have not done anything clinical in a few years. Also, the passing rate is in the 40's and that makes me a little nervous. I am NCLEX-RN certified, that exam was brutal but I know the OSCE is clinical and practical, not written. Is there anywhere anyone would recommend that I could brush up on some skills that are specific to the UK training models that they will use? I don't think the competency test will be an issue as I can see many similarities between the CNO and NMC standards of practise (will just have to do a lot of studying - also if anyone has any studying resources or any tips of where to look to study, that would be great!) Has anyone gone through this process and been successful? Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
