Oct 18, 2009 Unless you have a british passport you would have to attend one of the universities that run the nursing degree as an international student, and the ones that offer places to international students are few and difficult to find as there are usually waiting lists for UK students and these are subsidised by the government. The fees for international students are very high and even if you get a place and qualifiy you will still need to satisfy the Borders agency to get a work permit as only EU and UK citizens so you may struggle to get work.

On another sbject note what are the possiblites of being a nurse in Canda? Regards, Yan
