What qualifications are required, how often do the training take place, where to look for a job and what income can a Caribbean nurse expect in the UK? These and other questions are answered by Aleksandra - businesswoman who lived in the UK for 10 years, where she running a business as an international adviser and cooperating with the Caribbean for over 3 years. The main goal of our company is to advise the adepts of the profession to find a job in the UK; advise potential customer how to live aboard and how to develop their educational goals.
Can anyone become a nurse in the UK? What predispositions are particularly welcome?
To my knowledge, anyone who has the right to practice this profession without having problems with the law (which is very carefully checked), can become a nurse. The employer does not pay attention to cultural differences, religion, country of origin, gender or number of tattoos. If you are a good employee, you are positive, you like the job you do, you feel the need for constant self-improvement, you like teamwork, new challenges, you are resistant to stress and you do not mind sometimes work at the weekend, at night, in Saint, you're the perfect candidate.
How the Caribbean become a nurse in the UK?
The nurse in the UK may be a person with a certificate or a nursing diploma from each country. However, this will be connected with the confirmation of the right to practice in the NMC (National Midwifery Council). The registration process takes 3 months or longer, depending on the country and according to the regulations. You must complete the application and submit all the documents included in the application (all required diplomas, Caribbean's equivalent of the UK National Midwifery Council, employment history, certificate of good character from your country, birth certificate, specialization diploma and all others certificates; other documents, i.e. a copy of the passport confirmed by a notary public and photos must be attached to the application). All this must be sent together. Depending on the applicant, the NMC may ask for additional documents, which may extend the waiting period for the NMC's PIN (the number assigned to each registered nurse). Remember that this registration does not provide the right to work in the UK (you will need additional process for it and you can read about it here)
While waiting for confirmation of the right to practice, it is good time to asking for references from several jobs or from several people. However, it must be remembered that the references must include the name of the institution, the position of the person issuing the reference, e-mail and business phone number. Preparation of references will significantly speed up the efforts for a new job in the UK.
The vaccination book is another very important matter, every potential employer will ask for a vaccination history.
What kind of education should have a nurse in the UK?
Just like in the Caribbean, the profession of a nurse in the UK can be performed by a person with certificates and diplomas in this profession, however, the most appreciated are bachelor's or master's degree in nursing. An additional advantage is having specialization, which makes the nurse's career easier and allows for faster promotion. A nurse without specialization - after confirming the right to practice in the UK - will receive the title of Registered General Nurse.
Where can you find employment?
Employment - depending on the qualifications (specialization) - can be found in every state or private health facility, hospitals, outpatient clinics, private offices, social care, nursing homes, nurse training sector and unqualified medical personnel, e.g. HCA (Health Care Assistance), usually located at the hospital facility. A very interesting job is to work in a team coordinating transplants in Great Britain. You can also cooperate with agencies specializing in the employment of nurses on a commissioned contract.
How much does a nurse earn in the UK?
Starting a job as a nurse in a state hospital (annual salary):
heath care assistant receives around 18.000 - 20.000
least experienced nurse receives £21.692 - £28.180
team leader receives £26.041 - £34.876
branch manager or operating block / branch equivalent receives £31.072 - £40.0964.
Income depend on the qualifications and experience of the nurse. In private institutions, the annual wages are higher, but this is associated with more hours worked and more responsibilities.
