Specializes in Medical and general practice now LTC.

moved to a thread on it's own in the international forum

the issues i see is hours and meeting the nmc requirements in your transcripts. you also need to be a bsn anything less is not accepted. you will also need 12 months post grad experience

as per nmc

adult (general) nursing

you must have completed a three year full time course at post secondary level leading to

registration as a general nurse.

this must include theoretical and practical instruction in

• general and specialist medicine

• general and specialist surgery

• childcare and paediatrics

• maternity (obstetric) care

• mental health and psychiatry

• care of the elderly

• community/primary care nursing

for all three year nursing courses, at least half (or 2300 hours) must be in clinical or

practical training, and at least one third (or 1533 hours) must be theoretical training.

I gave up due to writing style.

Ever thought about getting married?

As a UK citizen, i'll tell you right now it's not that easy. Even if you get married, they won't necessarily let just anyone in the country. They have a massive immigration problem as it is.

Cameron's changing the immigration policy, and there's requirements you need even before you consider. Such as what job you had in your own country, how much you made, schooling (if you went to Uni) money in your bank account, etc.

Life in the UK is living hell on earth!, and you will have a nightmare of a job, to get into any hospital setting! I am a British Citizen, so glad to have been offered a job in UAE. You stand slim chance of getting a job even in a nursing home at £9 -£12 /hr as RGN. With 20% VAT, Council tax, High fuel costs property rental average £600pcm unless you choose to live in rough areas. Very difficult to sign-on as DSS too.
