Hi, I wonder if anyone has been in a similar situation...I am in my first year of RN training with CDU, and am currently happily living in Melbourne. However most of my family lives in the UK (I am English) and I am aware that sometime in the future I may need to move back there. Obviously I would want to continue working as a nurse, but when I looked at the requirements of registration on the UK Nursing and Midwifery Council website their absolute minimum amount of clinical training hours is 1267 hours, preferably 2300 hours! In Australia the minimum clinical training hours is 800, and on my course I will do 840.
This leaves me wondering if I will be able to practice in the UK at all? Does anyone else out there have any experience of using Australian qualifications to work in the UK, what hoops did you have to jump through?? is it even possible?
Thanks in advance, Imogen
