Hi Ashjen,
Welcome to the forum. I have just posted this reply (below) to milanian and it seems to answer your query as well.

hello UK peeps. im milanian from QC philippines im a nursing graduate and planning to go to UK soon.

i found this very interesting site when i searched for nurses in UK.

Hi Milanian,
Welcome to the forum. I don't wish to rain on your parade, but as far as I know The UK is not employing new nurses from outside the European Union at present. The are only employing highly experienced specialist nurses for which there is a shortage of suitable applicants from within the UK or the European Union.

Iain is quite right. I am a UK nurse myself although I'm not working just now. There was a big influx of Philippine nurses some years back but right now there's isn't enough work for the British nurses with so many cut backs. Also you will need to take the NCLEX exam I think to work here.
Hope that helps
