I found that the degrees here don't contain any obstetrics usually and are way shorter in hours. Now I haven't applied to the UK for reg but have checked the rules and those are the potential issues. They apparently take each case on merit and will consider post grad qualifications too but the Dean of nursing for my uni has also said the UK are quite funny about the condensed course of less than 3 yrs.

I am still not clear if my degree will count directly but I start next month and am still waiting on guidance from the NMC.

So my point is more that if its important to you that its transferable - and I guess there is usually a way even if not direct- then be aware and check it out for yourself.

I think you're right Safin, in that the UK might be wary of the condensed degrees of less than three years as I don't think anything like that exists in the UK.
No the bachelor degrees here in Aus don't tend to contain any obstetrics. I think I read somewhere some time ago that the EU required obstetrics/maternity as past of basic training and if the UK now comes under EU guidelines for nurse education then that could be an issue.

I trained as an RMN in the UK over 20 years ago on the 3 year hospital course, then did a bachelor degree/general nurse training in 2 years in Australia 10 years ago. I got UK registration as an RGN no problem from the Aus qualification when we went back temporarily, but rules evolve over the years.
