USA NURSE MOVING TO THE UK?
I am currently studying in the USA to become a Registered Nurse, but I would eventually like to live in the UK. I know that in order to become a citizen, you have to marry a citizen; I see this happening. How do I go about working as a Nurse in the UK, with a degree I acquired in the USA? I plan to get done with my BA in Registered Nursing(RN) in approximately 4yrs from now. Thanks ZsaZsa, for all the info. I kind of wanted to hear the opinions of people in the UK.....if there are any who have read my question so far lol

I suggest to contact the National Health Service of UK. On their website I found: > A Work Permit will be required for applicants from outside the EEA. An employer will not be able to get a work permit for an applicant if the post can be filled by a UK or EEA resident and therefore are unlikely to consider applicants resident outside the EEA area if the post can be filled from within. NHS employers will indicate in their advertisements whether applicants from outside the UK will be considered.
