Where is a good place to live in England?
I am from California and might be moving to England to go to Nursing school after my Bachelor's degree to get my Master's. I have been to London once but I live in the suburbs ( 30 minutes away from Los Angeles) so I don't really want to live in a major city. Where is the best place price-wise for a young adult/student (crime rate, employment, housing, etc.) that could be a short distance from London or other big cities? I heard that Manchester is great. Could anyone elaborate? Any more thoughts on that, as well as other suggestions? I said any city that could be great for students (price, crime rate, etc.). Not necessarily by London or London itself, but I can always take a train to visit there as well.

Do you want to live near London? If you do Manchester is nowhere near it. Well in general the bigger the place the higher the crime rate. Manchester is known as gunchester, no need to elaborate further... the north of england is the cheapest place to live, Newcastle is a great city, not too big but big enough not to get bored. Geordies are the friendliest people in England I find. Again though nowhere near London, that's a good thing in my book though.

Yorkshire

Nursing school as in as part of a hospital? You could try Addenbrooke's in Cambridge. It is one of the biggest teaching hospitals. Cambridge is a nice place to live, quite a small city and many people from all over the world go there to study and live so it is very interesting. London is about an hour away by train, so not right in the big city but not right out in the sticks either.

Cumbria is the place you have described but we are a long way away from London or any other major city.

(UK people only) Does anyone know any great places/websites for volunteering/helping within the UK
(UK people only) Does anyone know any great places/websites for volunteering/helping within the UK?
Hi. I'm searching for organizations/affiliations in helping those who are drug addicts, sex addicts, alcohol addicts, at-risk and troubled teens/children/youth, those who are economically disadvantaged, poor, and hungry within the UK's major cities(preferably Birmingham, Bristol, and the outskirts of London, but other cities/small and local towns will do too). I'm sure there are some organizations out there, but my searching is not giving me any success. If possible, please give me some places to start looking for, or any website that can help me start. I am interested in volunteering places/community service (paid or non-paid, profit or non-profit) that are aimed in helping that kind of scenario within the UK. I'm doing this because I loved the experience I gained from volunteering with the Latino community in California. I am from the US, and I have plans to work in the UK one day as a nurse in public/community health soon. I enjoy giving back to the community in this way. By the way, I am a 19-year-old multi-ethnic male with an Associate's of Science degree in Health (A.S.), going into nursing school for a Bachelor's of Science in Nursing (BScN) to be an RN (RGN). If that info helps a bit. Also, is there any work I can get from my Associate Degree in Health Science in the UK (I mean ANY as in hospital, clinics, public health, etc.)? I will be reciveing my Bachelor's Degree in Nursing after another year. I like informing about health(or public health) awareness in society, as well as tutor English as a second language. Oh and please, I don't want to deal with counseling pregnant teens... I've had bad experiences with that. Thanks!

Great to hear that you are giving back to the community. This may not be exactly what you are looking for, but they do give to their community. http://www.habitatforhumanity.org.uk/ Also check out http://www.projectme.info This is a place for troubled teens to work out their problematic behaviors. Not in the UK, but something to keep in mind.

Which course is best for me
Which course is best for me?
I want to do a degree course in Nursing this year, and I was thinking about London. But it's so big and there's so many to choose from that I don't know where to start! I'd like to be as close to Central London as possible. (or picadilly/oxford). Also I will be entering as a mature student, do I need specific grades or work experience, and which is better, a diploma course or bsc? Which is the best uni please?

Question About CRNAs in England
Question About CRNAs in England?
Does that job exist in England? I really want to move to London sometime during college for a year or two. I'm pursuing a nursing degree and I'm going to grad school to be a CRNA afterwards. Are the qualifications the same? I'm going to a CSU in California.

Sorry, but anesthesia in the UK is by MD only. That may/may not change in the near future. The NHS in the UK has just started using Physician Assistants. So, there's always hope! Once you're a CRNA, keep checking with the AANA.
