Congrats!!! Hard work paid off!

Anyone have any ideas?

I like your views! When I did my placement on an elective surgery ward I felt the same about the patients...if I didn't make their tea right! hahaha oh well I guess we will get that every where! Can I ask, how do you work in both countries? And 3 years in rehab sheesh!!!!!!! Those people must really like hospitals

I'm an American nursing student in England. Why in the world would ya'll want to leave the States to do nursing in England? Nurses really get treated like crap out here. I surely don't want to deter anyone from following their dreams, but the morale of nursing is in shambles out here. Under payed, over worked, not appreciated. For example, the government is looking to take away a 1% pay raise due the nurses....1% is slap in the face of every nurse. I'm looking to coming back to the states in a few years, because there is no way I deserve to get paid crap for everything nurses do out here. I happened to marry into it, so that's why I'm here now.... But I would advise if you are still interested look at the Nurse and Midwifery Council (NMC) The Nursing and Midwifery Council | Nursing and Midwifery Council this is the governing board for nursing. Also there's two Unions which might have some info Royal College of Nursing and Unison. Also might be advantageous to get in touch with universities for master programs. I'm at University of York and they just began a master's program in nursing. We are on the pilot course for degree education and with all new programs it has hiccups.

Hi all, A bit complicated yes! But I want to do my elective placement back in the States. It's a Bs(Honors) program. I'm looking at palliative care/ end of life and would preferably like to be in California, Colorado, or Kentucky. (Mainly, because that's where my family is!) Any ideas of how I go about starting the process. My university says we have to set up the placements directly however our supervisors will do all the verifications of being legitimate nursing students. As I eventually want to come back home to work I thought this would be a great opportunity for networking. My initial idea was to contact hospices and hospitals directly. Any ideas of where I should begin? Thanks so much for your advice.

Well done! Is there anyway I can pick your brain about this test? I'm in my third year nursing in UK and am looking to come to the States. I'm American, so immigration isn't the problem but the NCLEX and my training may well be :). Just wanted some advise. Thanks so much!
