There is a guy who I work with in Texas just got just his registration and he has a ADN. He did some home study course from Scotland to get his extra hours. He is married to a Brit. , it can be done with a ADN but it appears rare.

Blossum I spoke to the guy at work and he did have to take the onp but it was last year when you could do it on line, he said they changed it just a few months ago that you have to go to the UK now and do the course. I still can't see how you are hav...

Provided you are accepted and meet the minimum standards to be accepted on the NMC register, as a nurse you will be required to undertake the Overseas Nursing Programme, if you have trained outside of the EEA. Why do I need to complete the ONP? Any ...

Blossum 48 There is a guy at work who got just his registration and he has a ADN. He did some home study course from Scotland to get his extra hours. He is married to a Brit. He just told me he got his RN and nothing about the ONP. I will ask him ...

Iwould ask to speak to the person who is dealing with your case. The call centre people really do not know what is going on. They do not know what to do in special situations like yours. They just read from the book of rules. ...

Hi Blossom 48 When I applied and got my registration with the NMB there was no mention of me having to take the ONP course. Going through the agency did not have anything to do with me not taking the ONP. I had to prove that I was currently practici...

Hi Aussienurse I am interested in doing a contract with continental as well. I was going to start one in Jan 09 but ,did not make it. I am still thinking about in Sept 09. I would be interested in the city and the benifits you will be getting . PM i...

seamusglas I have read all the posts that you have posted and am curious as to where you are from.

Hi Are the courses TNCC (trauma nursing core course) and ENPC (emergency nursing pediactric course) taken in the UK. Sue

We have PALS , or as you know it as APLS. If you have ENPC as it it includes APLS then you dont have to take a seperate course for APLS. ENPC and TNCC last 4 yrs . APLS and ACLS (advanced cardiac life support) only last 2 yrs.

Billy Where do you work Billy ? I am coming over in November to London, with my American friend, and would love a tour of a British A&E. Any offers would be welcomed. We are both RN's in a level I trauma center. Sue Ps any offers welcomed.

Thanks for your replies. I already have TNCC and ENPC. I am coming back to the UK next year and will be working in an ER and wondered if these courses were accepted. I was amazed at the cost of the TNCC in the UK. In the states is is about $210. appr...

hi Scootergirl You will not have to take the English exam,if you are a brit. I am not sure about the ONP. I did not have to take either. I just got my registration early this year. I was an SEN in the UK and did my BSN RN in the states. Cariad is...

I am presently working with continental travel agency and wanting to start a contract in Feb 09. I am a brit and just got my RN license in the UK. (I live in San Antonio TX) In order to be able to work over in the UK and get your RN you have to have...

Hi I am coming over to London in November with my USA friend, I am a brit. We are both RN'S working in a level 1 trauma center. I was wondering if anyone would be willing on giving us a tour of their hospital in the London area. I know we could just...

Thanks everyone for the replies. I am not sure if we will get as far a Wales or Scotland. Thanks Sharrie for the offer. Nice bike a little faster than a zimmer frame. Sue

Sharrie. Thanks . Were are you located as we will be traveling around. What do you mean by 'the EU'S ' ? Sue

I guess that maybe travelca has got the message. We have not had any recent comments, shame I would have liked to heard what the thoughts are now considering we have heard so strongly from both sides of the pond.

silverdragon102 What are level 2 and 3 level nurses in critical care areas. Sue

TravellerCA Why on earth are you still in the USA if you hate it so much. I agree with Cariad, I am embarassed about the things you are saying about the USA nurses. I originally trained in the UK as SEN and then got my RN BSN in the USA. I have ha...

Sorry to hear you have had a bad experience in the USA. I agree with others on this site that many Brits have come over here and had a great time. I am one of them and have been here for 12 yrs. I am quite amazed that the only people on this forum yo...

Has anyone ever been to the medical museum at guys hospital. I remember going years ago but forgot where exactly it is in London. Thanks.

Sharrie I have been to that web site, and I am not sure if that is the same place as it sounds like it is open to the public. The one I went to had many body parts pickled that people could get disturbed by and that was why it was only open to medi...

I think it was at the Guy hospital. I remember you had to be in the medical profession to get in, as there were a lot of real human body parts. I looked up medical museums on the net and saw that there are quite a few in london that are open to the ...
