Hi there I am currently a registered Uk nurse (Cardiac HDU) and thinking of trying to work in the USA. I need advice in three areas: 1: A reputable agency in the UK 2. Best revision aid for NCLEX and how to apply in London. 3. Do the USA age discriminate as in Australia? Thanks Sallers

Hi everyone I am an English student in my third year with one year to go. I agree that theory seems to be the main focus with little relevance to hands on practice and I donot study the biology course until I am in year 4. This has to some degree been a disadvantage as I struggle with the workings of the body. On the plus side I have alot of hands on experience with our mentors encouraging us to take charge of our patients while they oversee us. In England we have to take extended courses after we qualify for I'vs and the giving of controlled drugs etc. I have come across some students who have never had a hospital placement in 3 years and have been only in nursing homes so donot have the basic skills to bed bath patients!

Hi I was a local authority manager who was paid very well compared to nursing for half the responsibility. However working with a hierachy of massive egos proved too much. I am now in my third year as a student with one year to go and loving it. I am in my element and hope this will continue to feel the same when I qualify. I am hoping to work in the US at some point and would love to compare with british working ways.:chair:
