US Nurse seeking travel position in England

[RN122007]

I have recently spoken with a recruiter from Continental Travel Nursing company in London regarding a travel assignment in England. I have 4 yrs of Emergency Room training along with a bachelor's degree. I am trying to connect with others who have used this company or traveled from the U.S to England and worked as an RN. I also am wondering what the staffing ratios are like in the Emergency Departments in Hospitals there. If anyone has any input on this I would appreciate a response greatly. Thanks!

Hello fellow RN, I am asking the same question as you. I, myself, have called Continental Travel, I, have Trauma/Neuro ICU & ER experience. My question to you is, what is the best way to prepare for the ielts test? I can't figure out why American nurses have to take an English test?

Thank you.

It is the same if coming to Canada regardless if first language is English you have to do IELTS for immigration. Each country can and do ask requirements and make it general to all so fair to all

My UK professor also thinks it's nonsense for those completing their degree in English to have to take the IELTS and says that every year the RCN tells the NMC this, but the NMC isn't relenting...in any case, you can't change it, you gotta buck up and do it if you want to come. I paid $5k in immigration fees so far for my husband to come from the UK and had him subjected to an 8 month wait, is that fair either? In the UK, it's about a week wait to get your spouse over...
