liser-I am almost certain that you have to have post registration experience to apply for a PIN. I had 12 years experience post BSN and 8 years post MSN and still had to stress about my approval.BabyRN- I disagree with he statement that uk new grad...

MuppetAus- how did you find it going being agency and new to the NHS?I am staff in the A&E- and although I am familiar with emergency care, I am glad I made the choice to start where I did- even terms are different to those in the US.You mention...

News shark- pay in the uk starts at about £21k year. US (Delaware/NE area) is about $48k (about. £32k wh converted). Cost of living in De was much less than my cost of living here near manchester for family of 4.

Along with the CRB check. I have been asked to get an International Police check. This is available to me from the FBI I have found (US embassy informed me to check with them). I have printed off the form and need to get my finger prints taken. Th...

Newshark: All of my certified copies: I took the originals and copies of each to the bank. The bank manager viewed all originals and copies and notarized the COPIES. Those were sent in. This is what was suggested from "Continental Travel Nurse" age...

I saw a posting for a Surgical Nurse Clinician about a month ago. I emailed the posting manager a week before the posting expired to ask a few questions. I also attached my CV. I didn't hear anything in return until 2 days ago. The manager replied...

Where are you taking your ONP? Finishing my onsite part of it today in Manchester ( now to finish 2 papers before I can get my pin)

I am a masters educated NP from the US. I am hoping in the next month to work on applying for positions here in the UK. I did find a post today for an Emergency Nurse Practitioner locally. I have all of the "Essential" requirements. But the "desira...

mrscat- are the rates of pay at a GP surgery usually better/worse than at the hospital (if they don't go by the Agenda for change model)? Staff nurse is a Band 5. I do have the chronic management background with my years as a Nurse Practitioner. ...

On your CV?? I am from the US. I have a Masters degree with family NP certification. and My CV title is currently: K. A. B. MSN, FNP-BC I am interviewing tomorrow and just realized that my CV says my US heading. Job is in the A&E for initially...

Just got gin from the interview. Went well. Hot topic question was how do I view the 4 hr rule (good thing I had that tour and she told me about it!!), also confidentiality. I will hear in 24 hrs they said. But I am debating another Job posting I ...

Thanks for the help! I went for an informal tour of the A&E 2 weeks ago with the Senior Sister. Spent an hour on the tour (small place compared to what I am used to) and chatting. She thinks this staff nurse position (band5) might be a good ste...

Coffee Nurse. We'll have to compare our ONPs. I start mine (Manchester met University) on Feb 20th for 10 days straight...so we'll be finishing about the same time!

XB9S- Emailed the recruiting Sister. Very nice and encouraging. She offered me a tour of the unit. She did state that they do plan to fill the position from within. So, even if I get the application in and dazzle them, I think they already know t...

Thanks XB9S!Maybe you can answer another question for me. This NP job is posted now. Posting closes at the end of the month. I am due to take my ONP course (theory only) in feb. is it worth it to go ahead and apply. Without having my PIN yet? ...

? So, the dates listed are not the CLASS dates? or an I misreading that? I should probably just ring them tomorrow.

Thanks Coffee nurse- I would consider the Bournmouth one- but it's 4 days 4 weeks apart!? I just want to get it done. Did you go there each day for the class then home?

Congrats on your acceptance!!! NOW-- where are you going to pick for a ONP? Coffee Nurse- where did you do yours? I am hoping to get approval letter...soon...and need to make a decision as to where to travel to.
