from the us to the uk. is it simple?

[2spr0ut02]

hi my friend is married to a guy in newcastle. she has just started the process of getting him to the states. after she finishes nursing school she hopes to maybe go back to england and live for awhile. i know the immigration process is long just coming over here but how is it to go to the uk as a nurse? her ultimate goal is to be a CRNA but because of financial issues she might just stick with being a RN but she's not sure what area yet. does it help to have experience here first? Do you have to take another exam like the NCLEX and are their additional requirements? Thanks for your help.

Everything she needs to know what to do is on the NMC website This is the Nursing Governing body here in the UK. She is fortunatel that she is marrying someone in the UK will be easier for her to get a job, she will need to apply to the NMC and will take approx 1 yr to get everything sorted. She will also need a visa to come to the UK here is a link which gives more explaination
