That would be amazing if that's right, so if I have the hours I don't need the RN qualification? Would I have to do the CGFNS as I know thats mostly general nursing and its 12 years since my Common Foundation so I would struggle. However I would rather continue working in Mental Health in the US so could I do that if I have the hours, NCLEX CGFNS (hopefully) and not the RN? I'll check out the CES but what is the ATT and BON? Thanks again though, if you are right you've made my year!

I qualified as an RMN in 1996 with the Project 2000 training (which no longer exists) The training was split into 2 sections, 18 months of Common Foundation where all nursing areas were covered and 18 months specialist branch (Mental Health RMN in my case). As I have already done the 18 months common foundation I think I only need to to the Adult (RN) specialist Branch for 18 months, but I'm looking into that. I will look at the CGFNS and CES but until I have RN qualification I definately don't qualify to apply to the US. Thanks for your help.

I'm an RMN looking at getting my RN training to possibly work in the US. Does anyone know what part of the UKCC Register you need to be on to work in the US as I've heard different things. I think its probably Part 1 but I've heard of people retraining and still not being eligible though I realise it also has to do with the hours and theory you've done and what state you apply to. Getting info on retraining is really hard to come by as I think I only have to do 18 months as I'm already qualified and all the courses are the full training. I'm trying the NMC and NHS Carreers. Anyone have any other tips? Thanks

Hi there, I'm a qualified RMN here in the UK. I am keen to move and work in the US but I'm aware the qualifications are different. I am keen to do my conversion to RN but I've heard some people have done this and they still have not had the required credits. Has anyone succesfully converted and worked in the states or can recommend a course. Any info would be gratefully recieved. Thanks and glad I've joined. x
