The great news about finding a nursing job in the UK is that there are about 40,000 vacancies within the United Kingdom, so if you have what it takes, you can make it. The United Kingdom is a highly regulated country; nurses are protected from exploitation.<\/p>\n

The vacancies have been adding up, and unfortunately, NHS in the UK hasn\u2019t been able to keep up by adding adequate nurses into the healthcare sector. The National Health Service (NHS)\u00a0is reliant on overseas nurses to fulfil its vacancies.<\/p>\n

Recruitment drives are frequently held in many countries, so opportunities are there in abundance. The best way forward is to find a reliable and trusted recruitment agency who conducts seminars to teach nurses all about the processing of getting a nurse job in the UK. Take your time before deciding and once you have decided then educate yourself by reading. For more information and guidance, visit \u2013 www.dsshealthstaff.com.<\/p>\n

Nursing Jobs in the UK for Overseas nurses<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If you are set to become a nurse in the UK<\/a>, you will need to be patient and diligent. The process can take up to 8 months and in some cases, even more. The process requires a lot of paperwork, but it\u2019s no more difficult than applying for a loan or filling out a visa application for the US. Point being, its time consuming, but very doable.<\/p>\n

Keep in mind that due to the EU employment regulations, also known as EEA, the induction norms for nurses trained in Europe are easier and different than those trained outside.<\/p>\n

Overseas Nursing Programme \/ Adaptation to Midwifery Programme<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In case you have been trained outside the EEA and accepted into the NMC registration, you need to take a nursing or midwifery course to align your skills with the requirements in the UK. You will have to enroll in courses before you arrive. Post completion of the course, you may gain your NMC registration.<\/p>\n

If you have received training outside the EU\/EEA, there is a competency test (CBT), and a practical examination of skills called the OSCE (Objective Structured Clinical Examination).<\/p>\n

Nurse visa for the UK<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Nurse visa for UK<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As the shortage gets more and more acute, the government of UK as of June 2018, announces that there would be some flexibility in the rules for these visas and more importantly there is no longer a cap on the number of visas to be issued. That\u2019s great news for nurses looking for jobs in the UK.<\/p>\n

Since there is no cap in place, it means the government of the UK is very serious about fulfilling their vacancies. These vacancies pose a very serious threat to the growing population of the UK that requires healthcare more and more with each passing day.<\/p>\n

Aspiring nurses who seek jobs in the UK must look at this as great news. Governments are known to change their policies very quickly, so if you have ever considered living and working in the UK, it seems there is no better time than now.<\/p>\n
