yes, my wife works for the nhs in the vampire squad, taking blood from patients, but shes not a qualfied nurse, but a registered doctor in the philippines.
if you want to work as a nurse, I think you have to take the IELTS english test, and get a pass average of 6.5 for a nurse, and for a doctor its 7.0
then in my wifes case she has to take PLAB 1 and PLAB 2 tests, then she can register and work as a doctor in the uk
most of the philippine registered nurses my wife knows, work either as nursing assistants or work as carers in residential homes as the are not registered to work as nurses in the UK as they have not taken exams.
sorry I can't be more helpful
