Hey thank you for all of your advice.. as far as adaptation courses does everyone have to take? or is it dependent on your years experience? What does the adaptation course entail as in time?
the nmc will probably have something to say about your adaptation and experience will be taken into account but this also enables you to get experince without pressure on nursing in another country
Hi Back again,
The RN you need to contact is KAYLESH here is a link to a previous thread re US nurses coming to UK https://allnurses.com/forums/showthread.php?t=98891
Hi I am new to this, but do you realise the NMC have introduced a new requirement all nurses wanting to come and work in UK will need to do 20 days supervised practice AND english language exam! Except nurses that come from the EU.
Also, where does this fit for nurses who are not eligible to work in UK on a working holiday visa and require a work permit.
Any thoughts?

this is going to be phased in from Sept 2005, this is what the NMC says
The Overseas Nurses Programme (ONP) sets out common entry standards, a compulsory 20-day period of protected learning for all nurses trained outside the European Economic Area (EEA) and, where appropriate, a period of supervised practice.
it only says where appropriate a period of supervised practice. My interpretation is they are protected by having 20 days protected learning so instead of being thrown in at the deep end they are given some time to get to understand hopefully how the UK healthcare system works. It would be interesting to hear what sort of items will be on the protected learning programme
