Here from more of our international nurses

Thomas, who works at the Moorside Unit in Trafford as a Registered Mental Health Nurse, said: “Managers and colleagues are very supportive and helped me to settle in the new working environment. I started training in January and joined the Moorside Unit in February.”

Chinju, who is working on Hazelwood ward at Woodlands Hospital as a Registered Mental Health Nurse, said: “It’s a learning phase and every day is different. I’m enjoying it. My husband and I moved to the UK with our child. We thought it was a great opportunity to update our knowledge, education and training.”

Nonso, who will be working on Redwood ward at Park House as a Registered Mental Health Nurse, said: “I feel well supported. I’ve had my induction and seen my manager. I have confidence I’ll be working with a good team.”

Jincy, who is working on Hazelwood ward at Woodlands Hospital as a Registered Mental Health Nurse, said: "This is my first clinical experience as a mental health staff nurse abroad. I have been a qualified nurse for the past 10 years and was working as a Clinical Instructor at a nursing college in India. As I am a Postgraduate in Psychiatric nursing, I have a good theoretical base but the application of knowledge here in the UK is different. It's been a journey and I am enjoying it. There are a lot of learning experiences, and it will help me climb up my career ladder."
