Yes there is still a shortage even w. the economy set to shrink by at least 4% this year. Don't expect to escape the recession/depression though, Blair and co followed the Bush plan all the way down the drain.. Just contact any private employment agency that subs to the NHS, they will sort out the paper work for you and pay way over the going rates because people are essentially not smoking anymore and consequently living much too long!
2 :
As you know the US health system gets money from paying people, whereas the UK health service is free (NHS). Because of this, and unreasonable government funding, the NHS is in quite bad shape. The pay is low and the hours long, and the hospitals are in bad shape. I don't know why you would want to work as a Nurse in the UK, but if you do, there should be plenty chance to get a job. If you decide to speciallise in later years then you are in for good money. It depends on the field however.

It should just as long as you take care of the correct paperwork. I'm sure you could get the imformation to recieve that paperwork through the hospital you wish to work at in the UK.

How is nursing in the United Kingdom compared to Canada

How is nursing in the United Kingdom compared to Canada?
I'm a recent grad from nursing and was hoping to travel and nurse. I'd love to travel around Europe and thought a fun place to use as my home base would be London. Over the past few weeks though I've heard some bad things about nursing in the UK. Things such as poor wages, poor working conditions and lack of responsibilities/allowance to perform many of the nursing skills I do here in Canada. Help me please with any of your opinions. I'd like to find out as much as I could before I head over or if I should even head over. Thanks!!

The UK has a shortage of nursing staff.
2 :
Excellent! try Paddington Hospital or Royal Norther Hospital on Holloway Road, both in London. Nurses in England are trained in hospitals
3 :
Under paid and under appreciated. London is horribly expensive and unless you want to spend all your time in London you'd be better off somewhere where you'll have low enough costs to still have a life.
4 :
If you want to travel and are a registered nurse then New Zealand are desperate for qualified medical staff...seriously! Here is just one site advertising...there are plenty more! http://www.adhb.govt.nz/AucklandHealthCareers/ http://newzealandnow.info/ Good luck where ever you end up!
