Thanks for the quick replies! I have contacted the BON and they just said I needed to get the relevant training either in the UK or US however did not know how to go about this. I have tried to contact the University of WI Milwaukee however had not yet had any replies. I have searched most of the nursing programs websites in WI and have not yet found one which says it would offer modules on an individual basis. I will keep trying, as I am sure there must be a way to do it. I know that they are crying out for Nurse Midwives in WI and so I am sure it would be of benefit to the state to let me get licensed! I fee like I am in a situation that I cant see a way through, its really frustrating!

Hello :redpinkhe I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me? I am a UK registered nurse and also a registered Midwife in the UK too. I am looking to move to WI to become a CNM. I know I have to do a Msc in Midwifery in the USA to do this, which is fine, I have a found a program which will transfer my credits over from the UK, but the only problem is that I have to be an RN in the USA before I can do the program. I have found that CGNFS have said I need to take more credits in mental health and paediatrics before I can take the NCLEX and to do this is have to go back to school. The problem is that in the UK you cant just sit random modules and do practice in them, its just not the way nurse education works. So does anyone know how i go about getting these extra credits? Is there an american school which will allow me to take what I need without having to retrain as a nurse? if not then it would appear that British Nurse have no way of going to the USA to work? If anyone can help I would be really grateful! Thanks
