Hello there! New grad, got my license in May. I'm starting a job on an oncology floor after spending two years of nursing school and these past few months working in a primary care office. I got a job in the UK on a unit I really wanted. I was w...

@DavidFR Thank you so much for the encouragement and great info!! It means the world to me, I feel a lot better 🙂 I was trained in the US myself, and I will be starting at a junior grade! I'm going to be a band 4 until I pass my OSCE examination an...

Hello! I am starting the process of applying for being a nurse in the UK. I think I've got all parts of the process down, but I'd really like some OSCE study resources or advice from some fellow international nurses in the UK, please. I've been looki...

Hi Alyssa! I'm a bit late to the party, but I've been lurking this topic and I'd love to know what books/resources you used for the OSCE too. I'm moving over to Cornwall and beginning work as a nurse in November and am trying to get all the resources...

Hello! I have a question for nurses who have been in both the USA and UK about the nursing exams. I'm taking my NCLEX next year, and I plan to take the UK test of competence once I get my licensure. This made me curious about how the differences in t...

I've been studying for the NCLEX since around March. I was hoping for someone to look at my scores and share theirs; my test is on May 24. I know scores aren't everything but I'd like to hear from some people who also used these prep programs and whe...

I passed in 75 questions in less than 40 minutes 🙂

Hello! I graduated this last Saturday, and my state's Board of Nursing just approved my degree on my application today. I'm waiting now for my Authorization to Test. I know that you're supposed to receive your ATT within two weeks of registering...

It actually came in the day before yesterday, I worried for nothing!! Thank you for your answer ☺️

New grad here, graduating at the end of next month. I just wanted to talk about this where people understand- I'm so happy and proud. After feeling like I'd never be smart enough to be a nurse, I am now two years later accepting a job offer at the la...

...Or is that a bad idea? I'm about to be a new grad, and have been interviewing among some ERs and a couple ICUs around me to get experience before I plan to move out of the area in a year to a year and a half. My dream ultimately is to work in...

I have! I'm completing my precepting hours in an ER. I have one more interview at one which havens to be a Level 1 Trauma this Monday.

Hello! Compulsive overplanner here, looking for NCLEX advice. I've suffered through ATI for school, and I'm not really a fan, so I bought Kaplan and UWorld too to prepare for my NCLEX, which I plan to take in May. I heard the best things from both ...

It could be anything about nursing; advice, encouragement, warnings, etc. I'm graduating in April, and I'm wondering what some experienced nurses would tell themselves if they could go back. (I wasn't sure whether I should put this in General...

I found out because I’m a compulsive over-planner, haha! I found most of this on the UK’s Nursing and Midwifery Council website, though. They have a big guide on joining the register for interested overseas nurses here: https://www.nmc.org.uk/registr...

Hello there! I'm not too sure where to turn, so I was hoping I'd find some advice here. I posted this in the nursing Subreddit, but thought I'd post it here too since I realized this might be a more topical place to post it. Here's my situation....

Hey! I'm a 20-year-old USA nursing student set to graduate this coming Spring with an ADN degree. I've always wanted to work in the UK and eventually live there permanently. However, I was wondering if my ADN degree would allow me nursing registratio...

I need to tell people who understand because I'm about to submit my graduation application and I'm so proud of myself. I've been in a fast-tracked ADN program since January, and a week from today marks a year since I got my acceptance letter. If ev...

Thank you so much!! I really appreciate this response, this is really encouraging ? I might be on the road to my dream!

Hello! American nursing student here graduating next semester. I know I'm thinking about this a little early, but I like to plan ahead so I can get my experience and requirements in order. I'm planning on applying to the NMC after I get my RN and spe...

Hi Ahmed! As an American nursing student also wanting to work in the UK, did you have a BSN or ADN/associate's degree when you applied to work there? I'm going for my ADN right now, and I was wondering if that's enough to register with the NMC or if ...

Thank you so much! I sent them a message today, I'm hoping to get a reply soon ?

Hey there! I've been really thinking about this lately and have dreamed of living there for a long time, so I was hoping some people on here would have advice or experience with moving to the UK. I've just recently started as a nursing student this s...

Hi, allnurses! I thought I'd introduce myself to the forum since I've finally decided to join. I've lurked on this website for a couple years ever since I started considering nursing, but I think it's time for me to jump into the community and hopefu...
