   How did you get the day with the community nurse? How do you go about asking for those kind of days?

   StarUSA replied to ScottishNurse22's topic in Immigration

   Yeah it's the hours you get on placement. As long as the areas somehow magically aligne (e.g, diabetic adult ward maybe can get a spoke to diabetic children's ward? Since they are related? IDK) I think that's how you can get the hours is being smar...

   StarUSA replied to ScottishNurse22's topic in Immigration

   From what I've seen, getting an A&E placement/GP practice is the gold standard for getting all your hours in one place. Currently in the process of getting spokes in different areas, the tricky part is justifying it without saying explicitly "it'...

   This is fantastic! Did you have to stay in the UK for two years like everywhere says you have to? I really don't want to work in the UK for two years - how was the process like?

   We have a lot of independent study hours - you think I could use them? also, with an A&E placement, surely we wouldn't encounter many children as children have their own department in A&E? Did you go straight from graduation to the US?

   The board also requires theory hours and I'm not sure how we cover those. We have had a maternity e learning course to complete but most of our course is adult - I think some mental health has been included but no child - so I'm not sure how to get t...

   Would these fill the hours? To be transparent I am feeling quite down about this situation. Feels like I'm stuck and no matter what I do I'll never end up in the US after graduating :/

   Your university should actually encourage your spokes in different areas. I'm adult nursing and from my reading online, you're allowed to go into different areas but what you can physically do is limited, but you can watch and get your hours done. ...

    I'm having issues because my particular area is very full of students so I'm going to try my hardest to get spokes in the Summer but I don't know how successful I will be. I think the areas would be mental health maternity and children's. The board I...

    I emailed the board of Virginia! A little update, I have emailed my university and I'm having a little roadblock on getting spokes - not that it's not allowed, but the spaces! I'm looking into alternatives In all of these threads people alway...

    I emailed the board of nursing with the placement hours requirements and my board is surprisingly low hours. I will try and get spokes in those areas and get those hours done!
