relocating from UK to US.

Published

Hi everyone just a quick word to let you know that Adevia Healthcare told me that you can be either adult or child trained but as long as you are in an acute or emergency setting you can relocate fairly easily, they provide a service at around £600 this secures you a job aswell, they are online! If anyone has relocated to illinois can you let me know please as this is where my hubby and I wish to go, thanks Shelly.

Hi Cindy, that is great , do you have a degree or did you do the P2000 ? I was told that if you had a degree but worked in an emergency or acute setting you would get through without making up extra hours in other areas, do you know if this is true or not ? What is it like in TX have heard that it is not the best state to nurse in but we have our hearts set on living in TX , as far out in the sticks as we could go with our need for schools and the like, please tell me all about it ! Anyway if you earn double and the price of living is less we should have a great life as we will both be nurses. One last thing , are there many jobs around for ped nurses as my hubby wants to commit to ped onc, thanks for replying to my post Michelle.

not sure how they can say if you work in an acute setting and get through not making hours up. They have no control it is up to CGFNS and the BON :confused:

Hi spoke to a woman from Adveia and she was great, you do need all nursing areas , adult nurses should try for maternity and mental health placements and this may cover the 40 hours theory and 20 pcactice(may be the other way around) needed in each area. Child nurses are harder and may need to do the 18 month conversion course from child to adult making sure they take a mental health placement in there somewhere, some people get through with less hours , it depends on the area you go to and how short they are on staff.

Do not trust everything that an agency tells you. We keep telling you that.

And they hours are greater than that.

Most programs in the UK will not let you take the other hours with them, either.
