Hello Diorella,
You are correct in stating that the NMC (Nursing and Midwifery Council) requires at least 12 months' hospital work before registration, and it is a condition of working as a nurse in this country that you register with the NMC.
I have a personal interest in this, being a retired doctor with a Filipina girlfriend who hopes to graduate in nursing from Central College of the Philippines next August (as you will see in my introductory letter to this forum). I do not relish the thought that she would then have to spend a year in hospital(s) in the Philippines before coming to Britain. I understand that the vast majority of nursing graduates from the Philippines do want to work abroad.
I have only recently joined this forum but received a warm welcome. I will watch with interest any replies / advice which I hope you receive, but would ask if you have managed to make contact with any filipino nurses in this country or even contacted the NMC for advice, possibly about doing other healthcare work or gaining experience here.
