Hello there! Im holding a Philippine passport.

[desai]

I love Scotland. I am interested to know about that place and to work too. Can you give me some information?

4 Degrees colder than Cornwall on average :smile:

Hmm ok, maybe I'm just used to it. Or we are all so full of hot air up here it keeps us cosy!:biggrin:

I think Doc Allan would be the best to reply to your question Desai as he will have the inside knowledge I am sure. However I would say that unless you already have an offer of employment from someone willing to sponsor you it may be difficult for you to get the visa to come to the UK?

Thank you Terpe, I would like to know if i could take there local examination for license in the Philippines? Coz, I am currently working here in Saudi and plan to go home end of this year. I guess it will be better if i could take that in the Philippines.

There is a “ sticky “ / thread in the " UK Employment " section of the Forum

(http://filipinaroses.com/showthread.php/35967-Nursing-links
).


Most of the links ( 1,3,4,5,9 ) which I provided are valid and up to date, except the Philippine Nurses Association of the UK

( see

Links 6 -8 are now out of date.

You're welcome Desai :smile:

The UK Nursing & Midwifery Council ( NMC ) decides on eligibility to be included on their Register - essential for working here as a nurse. Their link ( http://www.nmc-uk.org/Registration/Joining-the-register/Trained-outside-the-EU--EEA/ ) is the one to read carefully. Good luck :xxgrinning--00xx3:.
