U.K. Nurse moving to U.S.

Published

Hi my fiancé is currently studying nursing in the U.K. I am a US citizen. I understand that there are several requirements for foreign nurses wanting to work in the us including having 2 years work experience as a rn. My question is once we are married is there any way she can become certified as a rn in the states if she meets all the other requirements but does not have 2 years of work experience in the uk? Thank you

Specializes in Medical and general practice now LTC.

Don't know where the 2 year ones from but it has nothing to do with Nurse Registration but probably an agency requirement.

The issue UK nurses have are missing hours both clinical and theory in Obstetrics and/or Paediatric due to how UK training is done.

Moved to the Nurse Registration forum
