US Nurse Heading for England

Nurses General Nursing

Published

I'm an American and I am going to move to London in March. I'm going to work for the NHS in an ICU. I know there are a lot of UK nurses who visit this site, so I'm soliciting your input. I'm really exicted about the whole thing and it's all about the experience of living and working in another country. I love London and can't believe what a great opportunity this will be. What do you think I need to know? Cheers!

Specializes in Psych.

Thanks Karen! I have my registration and my housing will be subsidized, but far from luxurious. But for me, it is all about the experience: good, bad or indifferent. Currently it looks like I'll be in Hampstead. I hear it's lovely (did that sound English?).

I'm not sure how I will fare in your climate, but there sure is plenty to do indoors.

Any information I can get on working in the U.K would be appreciated. I graduated in Cda. but work in the U.S. It seems a bit complicated to get registered and work permits etc. What about education requirements too? Thanks guys.
