Perinatal nursing in the UK for US trained nurses?
I have a question about nursing jobs in the UK. I am a US trained RN with a bachelors degree. I have been working as a high risk labor and delivery and transition nursery nurse since I graduated, for 7 years. I have been thinking for a long time that I would really like to spend some time living in the UK (specifically London) at some point but I keep coming to the conclusion that it might not be a very realistic goal since my job title doesn't really exist there. I'm wondering what my other options might be, though, sticking as close to my area of experience as possible. Do they have postpartum or nursery nurses? Or is the whole process one thing? Would it be possible to train as a NICU nurse there if I have had experience with high risk normal newborns? Thanks. This is something I would really love to do.

Nursing is a brilliant career, and many peeps aspire to it. I was considering nursing myself, and secured some brilliant instruction from the website in the box below, which aided me well. They have help on other occupations too.

Nurses in the UK work in specialised branches, so yours would be Children's Nursing. It would be very easy for you to train as a NICU nurse with experience. I am straight from university and in a High Dependency Unit in a very specialised area in London. Nursing in the UK is not as respected as in the States. Most people treat you like you're a failed Dr, so it's not something people look up to... I did not have trouble getting work.
