Translating USA college hrs into UK real time hrs

[suemsu]

Hi

I would like to get a RN licence in the UK. I read on the BMC site that college credit hours have to be translated into real time hours. I was wondering if any one knows how to figure this out. I have a BSN 4yr nursing degree with 140 credit hrs . Thanks. Sue

Have you looked on the UK nursing governing body NMC they have a section on overseas RN and what their requirements are Here is the link

I think with your BSN you should be OK but they will look at each applicant individually. There is also an email contact person who may be able to answer your queries
