UK Overseas Nurses Program?

World International

Published

Does anyone have info on the new 20-day Program required by the NMC for Overseas nurses? I'm an RN in the US looking to register in the UK.

I understand what it is and what it covers, but finding one is a little confusing. I'm almost ready to send the initial app. form back to NMC... I'm taking the English test this Friday.

At the moment I'm finding it impossible to find anything on anyone offering the 20 day program; only what's on the NMC website and that is not very helpful.

Any info would be greatly appreciated. :)

Thanks!

Unless you are well on your way to having approval from the NMC, there is no way that you will have a visa that will permit you to work by April.

Thank you so much for the quick, informative replys. I am so glad to have stumbled upon this site..

I hope to be in the uk by april and would like to meet up with anyone interested in a new face to the country. It would help me immensely to be in touch with other nurses who have been around.

Any suggested hospitals for someone with 12 years experience in critical care/icu? Places to live in or around the city that are nice and reasonable?

Anything you wish you might have known or done differently when you first moved to london/uk? What do you know about hospital provided housing?

Any recommended agencies to work with? THANKS SO MUCH....:)

Have to agree with suzanne and say without work permit you won't be here that quick.

London will be very expensive to live and there are lots of lovely areas in the rest of the country to see also travel is very expensive.

Hospitals would suggest you do a web search and email/contact HR and see if they are able to help with job and getting your permit

Good luck

:wink2: I do have approval from NMC. I have a PIN. I understand that there is more to be done. As for those lovely places around the city...do they have names?

Was thinking more of further north from London, Yorkshire, Birmingham, Wiltshire, Derbyshire. Would probably be a lot less expensive than London and its surrounding areas :)
