  1. NMC delay and ONP Course at Bournemouth

    babyNP. replied to sarena33's topic in Nurse Registration

    So you have to pass the ONP class in order to get a PIN because once you have the PIN, you are "registered" with the NMC and can start working (as long as you have permission to work in the UK). Make...

  2. Journey of a foreign nurse getting licensure

    babyNP. replied to babyNP.'s topic in International Nursing

    Plain and simple: you have to get a BSN. I doubt they would accept you in the UK into school because all of their programs are bachelor's degrees and you'd have to start all over again, least of which...

  3. Denied from np program

    babyNP. replied to Naphisa03's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Hey I wanted to let you know that there is no nationwide requirement for new NPs to get a DNP in 2015. This is merely a recommendation, not a requirement. Many top schools like UPenn and UCSF don't...

  4. It's JULY!!

    babyNP. replied to prmenrs's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    We are fortunate. Only 2nd year and 3rd year residents come to our NICU. But heyy, no worries. If I don't agree with the resident, I call the fellow to question. Chain of

  5. UK - USA my story (I hope it helps anyone in a similar situation)

    babyNP. replied to Smilty's topic in United Kingdom

    Good luck!!! What a journey! My husband came over on a K1, but he became a teacher over here, so it wasn't nearly as hard as it was for you. NCLEX is a beast; my instructors told me the most important...

  6. RN from the USA seeking to move and work in the UK

    babyNP. replied to Helematu7's topic in United Kingdom

    If you get Hungarian citizenship, you and your husband can move to the UK very quickly and he would have the right to work there, under an EEA family permit, which is free. He'll be able to work for...

  7. studying nursing if US citizen married to british citizen?

    babyNP. replied to tbjockny's topic in United Kingdom

    Yeah, international fees are pretty big. Keep in mind that you may run into trouble getting a US RN license because UK degrees are specialty focused and US degrees are generalized, so you'll probably...

  8. This Has Been Answered Before, I Know...

    babyNP. replied to Paige2014's topic in United Kingdom

    Here's a link to my experience a couple of years ago: https://allnurses.com/international-nursing/journey-foreign-nurse-651871-page3.html#post7411416 NMC seems to be lightening up on a few things...

  9. Journey of a foreign nurse getting licensure

    babyNP. replied to babyNP.'s topic in International Nursing

    I'm pretty sure I did, but I can't say that for sure 100%. I know that only the courses that had the NURS title in them were allowed to count for clinical hours. Most universities have a standard set...

  10. Don't forget to warm your stethoscopes nurses!

    babyNP. replied to Joe V's topic in Nurses Rock

    lol, yes. Babies hate it!! I quickly learned as a new nurse to warm

  11. New UK overseas application

    babyNP. replied to babyNP.'s topic in Nurse Registration

    This is seriously fascinating...this is a very new concept to the NMC (previously although they told me when I pressed them that there was a 1,000 hour threshold instead of the 4000 minimum they...

  12. Please help.....New changes to ONP and Supervised practice

    babyNP. replied to wassays's topic in International Nursing

    The supervised practice for "old commonwealth" nations is very new, like in the past month. We don't have any information on it yet as far as I'm aware...I got my license last year and am so glad I...

  13. Certifications for NICU RN

    babyNP. replied to KJM-RN's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    NRP and STABLE are things you can get without being a NICU RN, although you would have to do a lot of studying if you're not a NICU nurse since the concepts wouldn't be familiar to you. If you're...

  14. Tuition rates/student loans

    babyNP. replied to Simply Complicated's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I don't think this is a smart attitude. The amount of money you could earn by investing a car payment for 30 years is ridiculously large. Do you like the car so much that you keep paying interest for...

  15. NNP 24 hour coverage

    babyNP. replied to mybooboo's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I would be curious how this works as well; I'm in NNP school and I see "24 hour" shifts as part of an institution's scheduling. I assume you go to sleep when you want and wake up if there's an issue...

  16. U.S. nurses sponsership

    babyNP. replied to JohnsonRN29's topic in Immigration Advice

    You'll be hard-pressed to find a hospital to sponsor you in this economy when so many US citizen nurses don't have a job...although at least it'll be easier to get a license since you're US

  17. off sick

    babyNP. replied to barbara mussard's topic in United Kingdom

    Well, I would still be looking if my manager treated me like that. Wouldn't

  18. off sick

    babyNP. replied to barbara mussard's topic in United Kingdom

    That sounds terrible. Sounds like you need to think about moving to another unit. This problem also happens in the US as documented many times on allnurses.com. I'm blessed that my unit doesn't do...

  19. Getting another job after working 6wks at my first job... Lucky or doomed?

    babyNP. replied to TurtleLittle's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I would go with the ICU full time and if the other place wants to keep you per diem, so be it, but I wouldn't work there part-time. You were only there for 6 weeks and it sounds like they didn't spend...

  20. Studying to become a Neonatal nurse in France (as an English resident!)

    babyNP. replied to BexCharlton's topic in International Nursing

    Have you tried calling up the universities and asking their policies on EU citizens entering their courses? The financial aid office should be able to answer your questions regarding tuition and...

  21. Most Rigorous NP Programs (worried about NP Curriculum)!

    babyNP. replied to IcySageNurse's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I had similar concerns and my strategy was to go to US News and World Report, make a chart of the top rated schools by my specialty, and then look into each program and compare. I looked at schools...

  22. Questions for School Project

    babyNP. replied to ASlaveforJesus's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Try doing a search; these types of questions are asked on at least a monthly

  23. New to NICU

    babyNP. replied to NICURN2013's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Although the threads may be "outdated" to you, things haven't changed as much as you might think. The fundamentals of NICU nursing haven't drastically changed. Sure we use some more fancy equipment...

  24. PCT in NICU, hoping to be hired as an RN after graduation

    babyNP. replied to student_stephanie's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    You need to act like you're being interviewed every day. Show your enthusiasm and eagerness for NICU. Say hi to everyone and make the small talk so people will get to know you. Always be willing to do...

  25. UK nurse, any US possibilities?

    babyNP. replied to nbenmore's topic in International Nursing

    Thanks for letting me know about the larger presence of NPs than I'd originally thought; I admit that my ignorance stems from the experiences my husband, his family, and a few other UK friends of mine...
