Does anyone know anything about GW hosptial and the working conditions?

can you work in the uk without your NMC?

Your only complaint is running down a long hall?

No, any kind of paper work takes more than a day. My license arrived in about 3 weeks. Its best to show youself in person to get this done but you dont have to. Just call them. Calling has always helped me too. YOu dont live far away do y...

Find their phone number and call! They are quite helpful. I went down to the office. If you live close by just drop into their office. I recieved my license very quick. Good luck

I'm glad you got out of ward nursing. I knew I didn't want work in medical the first day I stepped onto the ward and it had nothing to do with the patients or the workload. Everyone tells you that you need the medical experience. I surely dont think ...

What about taking correspondence courses in something such as legal nursing or forensic nurisng if there is such a thing while you are working?

What a lovely story and thank you for sharing!! This is what true nursing is about!! Its so nice to know that nursing is not all about working with mean nurses and crabby managers. Thanks

Hi, What is a uni? Ive applied to the NMC and am waiting for all my documents to come through from Canada. My experience so far with the NMC has been fine. Thanks for all the info.

Thank you Gwenith for all the information!! Do you know of online sites for credicted courses in nursing, an example for forensic nurisng? Thanks, Artis

I was recently in Hospital in the UK and the day I was ready to go home, I didnt even see a nurse until she discharged me. Who would want to work in a hospital? I mean I have worked in a few countrys and the nurses have the similar attitudes. They s...

ok. I advise you to call the hospitals. At George Washington Hospital they give you a bonus after staying for one year. Also try getting into a speciality ward as they will not be as busy as a general medical ward.

Get legal advice! There must be a free legal advice in your city somewhere? Nurses are treated unfairly at times , and its about time we stood up for ourselves. Take care and I wish you well.

Hi, I guess common sense would tell me not to wear a big stones to work. I dont have that anyway. I would wear my gold band but even this I would hesitate. The worst thing I have is when I see many nurses with long nails. The last place I worked, I t...

Yes thank you it gives me some hope. I have an American License and a Canadian License so hopefullly they will consider this although I am Canadian trained.

Is the course full time? thank you

Hi, Would an agency pay for this 20 day course? thank you

Hello there, Im a Canadian nurse living in the UK. Are there any other types of work for a nurse besides working for the NHS? Thank you in advance

I had a similar problem but I was pregnant. I was reorientating on the ward I worked on. The nurse that reoreintated me was very frank about wanting my job. One night shift we worked, I would of been fine but we worked for a solid 5 or 6 hours withou...

I totally agree with you. I want to get away from bedside nursing not because of the patients. I m also tired of nurses complaining about their jobs. Ive only been a nurse for 2 years and I knew from day one that it was not for me. Im one of those ki...
