Can you please not use words like gr8 as there is no reason to shorten words like this.

You will need to meet NMC requirements and also the university requirements for MSN, also you will more thank likely have to pay International student fees and prove that you can support yourself whilst a student

You will find it hard

Hello!

I'm a french nurse, I've been working as an adult nurse in haematology in a bone marrow unit in Paris for at one year (no more ...). My boyfriend is leaving France because he has a job proposal in his enterprise and must go to London.

I don't really want to stay here in France and see him twice in the month ...

I asked an apply form to the NMC last week. What do I need to do before leaving my country?

Thank you very much for your answers!

Laure - are you a french citizen (or for that matter a citizen of any other EU member state )? -

if so, other than getting registered with the NMC all you have to do is apply for jobs in the UK as you don't need a work permit because you are a EU member state citizen.

Hello,

thank you for answering!

In fact, I'm french and I allready began to fill the apply form from the NMC.

I'm juste a little bit stessed about finding a job in London, as I don't if the financial crisis affects hospital recruitments.

Do you know if it takes a lot of time to find a job as a nurse in UK?

Bye

Try http://www.jobs.nhs.uk

The big teaching hospitals are more or less allways looking, lots of turnover there.

Good luck.

Ok, thanks!

Is temporary working (interim) a good way to begin? Or does the crisis make finding a temporary job impossible (still as a nurse of course).

bye,

Laure

I would just scan the job openings see what you find and then apply. Both types of jobs are available I think, haven't looked for a while. But it doesn't matter. Really, if sth suits you, apply for it and see. Forms are normally online, you can create your account, it's quite easy.

There are some hiring freezes, but allways some jobs available.

You will need to register with the Nursing and Midwifery council who require clinical experience as a nurse, so that will depend on how long you have been a carer as this work will not count. You will also need to get a work visa, this can only be gained by getting an employer sponsor and you will only be able to do this if you work in one of the shortage professions, you will need to be very experienced in one of these areas and the fact that you have spent time working outside of being a qualified nurse would not go in you favour.

I think its a tough and a long way process as I can see. But is there a way where to acquire an employer sponsor coz Im a bit confused on this part..

I think finding a sponsor for the work permit is going to be problematic as the employer will have to prove that they are unable to employ a UK citizen and last time I looked at UK news it was saying unemployment has reached over 2 million the highest for many years. Unless you meet the shortage list and have current nursing experience then you are going to have problems and being on this carer course isn't going to meet current nurse experience
