Lotus RN 1972 here!!!! I am a US nurse (and nurse manager) wanting to work in the UK. New regulations, tests, and procedures have my little mind spinning. I know that the theory test is through Pearson Vue,yet am not sure of what study guide to study from: Saunders, ATI, Kaplan....Huh? What? In the US, to become a nurse, one must take the NCLEX test to work in the state of residence to work. The new UK registration testing is almost as nerve-racking as the NCLEX. Anyone have any words of advice??? Thanks in advance

You ROCK!!!! Thank you. I am thinking about the visa/ permit route; the class is pricey but I need to look around. Thanks again!

Anywhere around London. I would like to be near there to work yet live on the outskirts. I would like to get more info. The program sounds like a new graduate program in the US.Those are really hard to come by here..

Thank you Skylark, Can you tell me more about sponsorship or training hospital that would be able to hire me. I would like to get there with a work permit. I was told that it takes 8-9 months to get registered with the NMC. HELP.....

Thanks Ms. Jenne, I am so excited, I could implode! I have been in dialysis because no one would hire me elsewhere. Anyway, it is nice to know that I could expand. Thank you for responding and I will look at the website attached... :)

Hey Ya'll, I KNOW that this thead has been around FOREVER but hear it goes: I am currently a dialysis nurse and have been here since I graduated: after school I had no in- hospital experience and I could only work in a clinic/ elder care facility :'( Need less to say, I still can not work in a hospital ( a phenomenon know to new graduates as " How do you gain experience in a hospital if the hospital won' t hire me" Blues. Anyhoo, this circle of crazy is driving me to madness and I am ready for a new challenge. Yeah, nurses are not paid as much in the UK; somethings are just more important than money. My question is: can I break away from dialysis into another discipline ? I have other experiences elder care, emergent care, yet dialysis is my specialty.Thanks for reading my post ♡ PS: Continential Travel Nursing is the company that I have decided to work with to sponsor me in the UK...

Hey Pepnp5!!! It is really funny that you mention the Bronx; there is a clinic that I am to be placed there. My plan is to get a job and move my fam to the city; during the assignment, I can look at different areas to (since I ain't payin' rent for 3 months). I am open to the Bronx. Thank you you made a huge difference and brightened my day. I am still waiting for my license; it shouldn't be long now. Thanks, a lot!!! Sincerely, LotusRN1972

Wow! Thanks Journey987! My kids want to move to Brooklyn,too. I am not traveling with the pups, unfortunately; I gave them to a a great home. The teenagers have to stay Am====== M===== sounds Great! I will set some stuff up with them when I get there; Thanks for the tip! I graduated in 2011 and have no actual "in-hospital experience" but no one here would hire me in a hospital because I had no "in-hospital experience." I just made no sense to me. I have put urinary catheters in folks, passed boo-koo meds, did lab draws, performed CPR on a dead person, have urgent care experience, assessed, changed colostomy bags, dealt with families, tube feedings and the works... you name it, I have done it; just not in a hospital on a Med- Surg floor. I want to eat my arm off everytime I think of how crazy it is here in San Diego. Thanks, again!!! LotusRN1972
