Hi

From what I can gather, medicals have changed and you have it I believe up to 2 weeks before your interview, been taken over by Nufield and they have centres at London, Birmingham and Edinburgh. London I think I have read somewhere has only just started doing the medicals and they might have a bit of a queue. I shouldn't think a pre existing medical condition will affect your medical but may have an impact on your health insurance in the US.

From the interview side of things I have been adviced to get photocopies of everything needed for the interview ie birth certificate ect as they will keep the copies. Also been told the interview isn't too bad.

I am just waiing to get approval so good luck in getting this far, when did you start your process and where are you going?

That is true you can't work as an RM only an obstetric nurse in US. but I still applied for my RM licence in CA(i was surprised I got it). Like you I am now doing specialised nursing(had to get out of midwifery-unsociable hours , on-calls, demanding women-but i love midwifery as a profession!!!:p )

I am with Stateside nursing agency- they have been v good so far. what agency r u with?
