UK RMN nurse wanting to work in USA

Published

Hie everyone,

Could someone tell me the shortest route for me to be able to work in the USA, l am a rmn with one year experience. I am aware that l have to do a conversion, is it possible to do the conversion in the states or are there any universities in the UK which offer fast track conversions to general nursing.

cheers

There are no fast track conversions from the RMN to meet requirements for the US. It will 100% dependent on which classes that you had in your curriculum. You are required to have courses; with clinical, as well as theory hours, in Maternal, Pediatrics, and enough hours in the other areas to meet licensure requirements for the US.

There are a few different schools that provide the training in the US, but you usually are added to the class when there is an opening, it is not pre-arranged beforehand.

Best bet is to submit to CGFNS for a credentials eval to see exactly what you are missing. You can find that at www.cgfns.org and just download the application for the CES.

Please read the Primer at the top of the International Forum to see exactly what you will need to do.

hi and :groupwelcome:

not sure if you are the RMN from another site I go on and recommended you try on here :) but search on here and the international forum as plenty of threads discussing this.

Good luck
