Can a RN with an associate's degree apply for a work visa in the UK?

Yes but you will have to go through a probationary period of at least three months (I'm assuming you're from the USA).\n\nContact the UKCC for more information.\n\nEdit:  Princess, there are some RN's who graduate from Diploma programs (my wife did).  As those programs are very rare now, most nurses in that situation tend to have been nursing a long time and are, consequently, highly-prized by the British NHS.

Yes. Many hospitals and clinics will pay you to advance to RN if you agree to contract to them for X number of years. Just ask your employer, and approach potential employers in the area.

Of course you can apply.   The final choice is with the people who do the evaluation of your application.  Until you apply, they can not make that determination.\n\nHere is a link that might help you:\nhttp://www.hsmp.uk.com/

Hi, I can answer your question?\n\n1. Yes there are two available routes for you once you have completed your MBA the HSMP or Work Permits routes.\n\nHSMP - The main advantage of this program is you could be granted a permit & visa with out a sponser (employer) however the Permit & Visa for HSMP will only be granted initially for 12 months and can then be extended for a further 3 years. HSMP is also points based and you need to score over 65 points in the following areas.\n\nQualifications, Work Experience, Salary based on your earning over the last 12 months of current/ last employment, Your Age if you are under 28 years old you would get an extra 5 points if you are, Partners Qualifications if you have one and Achievements within your field of Employment. \n\nAll documented evidence must be original also the success rate is low too in 2004 56% of applicants were rejected by the home office in the UK. However if you can prove you are a success story then this could be the way forward for you.\n\nWork Permit & Visa - This application is in 2 stages your Work Permit which is your employers responsiblilty and the original document belongs to them even if you pay the application fee. This is because the employer must sign the declaration page of the work permit form. There are several documents your employer will need to submit as well as your self which is Qualifications and work experience and the minimum requirement is 3yrs experience @ NVQ lvl 3 or above. the maximum period of a work permit is 5 years\n\n2nd part the Visa is your responsiblility and depending on your current visa which is most likely a student visa. You will need to apply for an incountry visa once the work permit has been granted. It's called a FLR-(IED) document\n\nGo to this website it has helpful info www.visaworkpermits.co.uk\n\ngood luck \n\nmgi1975

This is a very common practice and a very unfortunate one. I'm a registered nurse, and I just found out a few months back that a fellow coworker was on a working visa and is getting paid significantly less than I am.\n\nI heard her story, but in my mind I was thinking that's the way it is. Nurses are not cheap, and hospitals are just taking advantage of the situation.  It works for both sides. The immigrant nurse gets to work here and enjoy the freedom, while hospitals can provide competent care to their patients through these immigrant nurses.\n\nCommon practice. For the ignorant person who wrote about jobs being taken away from U.S. citizens..can you please read up on the nursing situation in this country. There is a big shortage and no regular Joe Schmoe can do that job. It is going to get worse in ten years. You'll see when your parents reach 70 to 80 years and a nurse is forced to take on 8 patients because there's not enough of them. Watch how you treat that nurse, and she probably does not even have a nursing assistant!\n\nWhy don't you be a nurse then , ignoramus!

That isn't only regulated by state law.  It's a U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) requirement. \n\n"Any non-U.S. citizen coming to the United States for employment as a health care worker (other than a physician) cannot be admitted unless he or she presents a certificate from either the Commission on Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools (CGFNS) or a certificate of equal standing from an organization with equivalent credentials.

You can probably qualify for the Highly Skilled Migrant Programme. Here's UK government's HSMP website.\nCalculate your points to see if you qualify:\nhttp://www.hsmp.uk.com/\n\nHaving a job offer is not requirement!

Depends on where you are from.\n\nIf the EU, and certain commonwealth countries, then you are entitled to work here already, unless you are from one of the newly joined countries where you still need a work permit.\n\nFrom outside the EU you need a work permit, visa, and to prove you have a job to come to .... in some circumstances you also have to prove that this job can't be done by a British citizen

Sounds to me like the Green Card is the focus. If you have a sponsor the Green Card is the fastest. Not sure about how long it takes. I know they get nurses and au pairs over here in less than a year. Your sponsor will have to prove you have a job. The American Consulate in your country will attach the work visa in your passport when all the paperwork is complete.

How wud I address thee?Fil-indi?Anyway,I'm a Filipino working in the UK and in my opinion u wud certainly need to submit a proficiency test (ielts or toefl) to qualify entry in any university in the uk.it wud be best to check on the required score in the school of ur choice.I work as a physiotherapist in the isle of wight, england.but b4 I acquired my registration here I have to pass the required proficiency score, as required by the Health Professions Council, b4 further scrutiny was given to my credentials. As far as I'm aware, it takes 3-yrs to complete a nursing course here.the course offers more time on hands-on rather than theory. Nursing students here are sent out to different hospitals around the country for 3-months (i think) to do actual experiences and goes back to the university for lectures then sent out again. That's a rough idea. If u are a resident here (parents working here), the National Health Service (NHS) offers support to every individual taking up nursing course or physiotherapy for free. Actually, it's a study-now-pay-later scheme. I know it's none of my business whatever u decide for ur future, but let me give u an idea of what kind of life ul be having if u decide to study, work and live in England. (1)Everything here's soooo expensive!! As in EXPENSIVE!! (2)taxes are very high. (3) the more u work the more tax the gov't will take from u, in large portions. sometimes it's not even worth the hard-work. (4) this is a very lonely place to live in..compared to the united states of america. I don't know with other parts of the united kingdom. but..(5) british are very courteous people...most of them! And crimes are low as compared to the US. If u really intend to come here and need to take that proficiency test, toefl is being offered at the Second floor of the Ateneo Law School in Makati. U can take the test every month...that is if u failed the 1st one. But first, like I said b4. Chk the required score in the school/university u intend to go to.Visas are given once you're accepted in a school in the uk. because ul have to show that to the embassy. gud luck! (",). ps-chk with the british embassy website on "studying in the uk".
