Hi, I am from the UK and looking into nursing as a career - I wondered whether it would be possible to do the following: 1. Qualify as an Adult Nurse in the UK and gain experience in a hospital setting for a couple of years, 2. Obtain employment in the USA as an RN 3. If residency is acquired, then train to become a Nurse Anesthetist A CRNA looks quite appealing as it seems quite autonomous and specialised work. Of course, we have no such thing here in the UK as Physicians have kept this for themselves. I have been in touch with BARNA and also seen the AANA website but any direct advice from someone on this forum will be highly appreciated! With thanks, Adam.

Hi, I am looking into nursing as a career [i am from the UK], but wondered whether there is such a thing as being paid overtime? From my research it would appear that in some parts of the US there is overtime pay [in some cases double overtime?] but I am not so clear as to whether this is so in the NHS. If there is double-overtime in the US, is this down to the way healthcare is admninstrated there? Grateful for your advice! Adam
