I have worked in some of these hospitals as they belong to a group under HCA - also another well known group of hospitals in the USA. They have a big influence in Central London and are always growing. The Wellington Hospital, London Bridege & H...

I had recently been in touch with the NMC and its not good. Any nurse that is not from the EU - European Union will need to do 20 days protected learning and an English Language course - IELTS irrespective if you were taught/ trained or speak englis...

As long as you have an open mind and can accept change, you will fit in and do things the british way! Not knocking the british way of things - but dont go on ranting an raving how the job is not done or how this is not the way we do things at home ...

I wanted to know more about Interstaff Inc. Has anyone heard of them? not Intelistaff. Are they any good and do they actually say and do what they are meant to do for nurses. Or do they shaft you around? Cheers

Has anyone heard of Interstaff Inc? Are they any good? I heard they offer competitive rates, though am still unsure which agency to use..... any feedback would be helpful. cheers

What about Henry Ford Hospital? Is that a good hospital with a good reputation?

I copied this from the NMC website...... its good, I believe all nurses need an idea about how the NHS works etc, but still its going to be difficult for foreign nurses requiring work permits cos they are only issued outside UK, also who is going to ...

Sorry, but I am unable to help you in that matter as I used textsbooks and did the nclex in 94 pencil/ paper version. So did not meet nor have any US tutors. But having recently looked at Saunders I liked the mini quizzes and also I was informed Kap...

I can say having passed NCLEX myself - I used Lippincott and Mosbys. I have been recommended Sandra Smith, Patricia Saunders and NCLEX 3000 or otherwise also known as Springhouse 3000. These texts and CD are meant to be really excellent. Hope this...

Hi Jenny I think agency work is great as I have done it for 4 years, but its not like it was 7 yrs ago - the work was rife and the pay brilliant, lines of work was everywhere. Nursing agencies are competitive but they are pretty much offering simila...

I think agencies are good to help you find work in UK especially when you are unsure of what the process is if this is first time work UK. Also NMC are a pain in the butt and can take awhile to get things processed. Need to allow for at least 3-6 m...
