Many UK universities are now changing the Nursing diploma to a Nursing Degree and you need A-Levels at BBC. I take Chemistry, Biology and Archaeology and I can get these grades but I’m worried that as I don’t take Health and Social Care I’ll have a limited chance of getting into a Nursing degree..?
I am from Biology background with no maths in second year.
I really want to move to Butler in Western Australia, but I am currently training to be a Nursery Assistant (child care worker I believe Australian’s call it) and plan to get an NVQ Qualification level 4 apprenticeship in childrens and young peoples work force to be a nursery manager. People have told me I need degrees and stuff out there, but I’m happy with this career choice but want to live in Australia. Will I be able to with just the above qualification ?
Peace Out x
I visited for a week when I was 16, now im 21. I have visited lots of places, but was drawn to new york, Its the only place I want to live! I currently live in Manchester in the UK.
I am in my final year of my nursing degree, I was thinking of working over here for a few years after I get my degree, then look at moving to the new york, what are the jobs like for nurses over there? and is the price of living high etc..
I want to move to the UK – the reasons are my own – but as for a career, I am going into the medical field so I will have a degree in either nursing as an RN or some sort of technician in radiology but what is employment like in the UK?
How is the economy right now and the unemployment rate? I know even though I will have a degree, I will still have to "sell" myself for a job but how difficult is it? And does it matter if you’re American – do they discriminate?
Basically, any and all information about getting jobs in the UK, living there, etc.
Hi, im 17 and i need to come up with a career which i would like to do. I was considering being a pediatric nurse but i dont really know that much about it. I’ve done a bit of research but i didnt know if once i have finished university am i now a nurse? eg if you get a law degree you arnt actually a lawyer so does the same thing apply here? i live in the UK so does anyone know good uni’s which offer pediatric nursing? Also would it actually be a good job? im just not sure what i want to do but i would like to have a career involving children. Also would i have had to do a science for a-level to be a nurse?
thanks for your help

My wife is in the final semester of her nursing degree in the USA and will be coming over to the UK once she completes her studies.
Questions are
– what are her opportunities in the UK and
– where should we begin with regards to Job hunting
She is also a talented dialysis technician with 2 years practical experience in the US
Please note that the focus is on what opportunities exist in the UK for a US qualified nurse.
How would you appreciate a user belittling your skills and qualifications?
Would A philipino based Doctor appreciate being told he can only practice in the Philpines because he could practice or register in America?
Would a Nurse like to be told her qulification was substandard because it was from the university of Shefield rather than London?
Would a science graduate appreciate being told that their degree must be crap because they got into uni based on their life experience not their high school grades?
I’m supposed to just "suck it up" when i am shown the equivalent level of ignorance and disrespect.
I’ll add my Qualification is
BSc Hons. The year I was awarded it my university was in the top 50 of UK universities
So what are you all gonna do?
Tink,
I;m trying to illustrate that we should behave more respectfully to each other.
You didn’t have to Answer this question. You chose to rather than ignore it. Why?
Gary:
Exactly when did i say creationism was a scientific theory.
Its a theory yes. Scientific. Not a chance.
Philosophy can hardly be described a science. Does that invalidate it or does it open up some possibilities and raise questions?

I’m not persecuted. I’m unwilling to let this vitriole and disgusting rude behaviour pass without pointing out the hypocrisy of the people who tolerate it and feed it.
You don’t like it go and F*** yourself. Have a lovely weekend I’m gonna hit the beers!
No Gary I did not.
I’m trying to get you all to think.
Evolution is a theory based on 150 year old science. if Darwin was alive today he would certainly come up with a theory of Evolution but I’m sure it would be markedly different to 150 years ago.
So far no one has come up with a more plausible theory. By default that doesn’t make it correct or mean it isn’t full of holes.

Rhianna, you do make a valid point about the entry requirements for the Osteopathic colleges.
The reason is funding.
Where as physiotherapy got full funding, if you wanted to study osteopathy you had to stump up 6500 per annum!
Consequently if you want to keep your college running you accept more people than you would if you had a queue of people who had paid places to choose from.
This does not mean they let everybody who started finish.
The drop out rate was very high. They always over recruited in the 1st year because lots of them would not be there in the 2nd year.
Although they would let more than they should through the door, you would not pass if you were not of the required standard.
18 year olds who went through UCAS had similar requirement to get in as Physiotherapy. only about 25 % of the enterants in my college were 18 -20. Most were mature students. around 1/2 my class already had degrees.

1 had an MSc in Immuniology another a BSc from Cambs. Neither found the course easy. (one of them failed the Final Clinical and had to resit it!)
The OSteopathic Colleges now have funding so the "bar" has been raised to gain entry since I qualified.
The standard of the final clinical hasn’t changed.
I don’t recall ever telling anyone that I am a ‘doctor’. My qualification is BSc (hons) not Phd.
NB. Physiotherapists, opticians and podiatrists aren’t Doctors either. But its ok for them to treat the public?
I understand some of the answerers here i s In QE from Thunderwood college.

‘In England and Wales school leavers are normally required to have three A levels at grade A-C (one should be a biological science)’
I like the idea of being one. In the UK what are they and what do they do? Is it a proffesional job with a proffesional status and are they actually lawyers? Do you need a degree?
Is it are more proffesional job then nursing and midwifery? what is the pay like?
fck off toss pot
Im 25, I have a good job in Local Governement in the UK, but I dont have a degree. All my friends are in the same boat, we all work for great employers, who pay us a good salary, we are successful, we have our own flats, we have cars, and I have never been so Bored with my life.
I am so tired of the UK, its weather, its people, everything. I have wanted to emmigrate to US, or Austrailia for a while now, and although our three countries are the closest in terms of culture, I have found out it is virtually impossible for me to be able to emmigrate.
Friends and Family say at 25 that i should just settle down, start a family, buy a house… I feel like I cant breathe and that if I dont make the move to the USA now I will never live out my dreams, and then after seriously looking into it, I am told it is virtually impossible for british to obtain work permits, unless they are doctors/nurses etc.. I feel frustrated, and defeated, any advice on how the british move to US greatly appreciated
