Has anyone out there recently done a Return to Practice course? I live in France but we're moving back to the UK in September as my husband has a new job. I'd like to return to nursing after 9 years out. I've been finding it very hard to have my questions about the course answered (they're not hard questions!) the university passes the buck to the local hospital and vice versa. I want to find out about 'Come Back' the governments new initiative to bring us dinosaurs back to the work force. They have also told me that I'll need to work as a healthcare assistance for up to 6 months before I start. Has anyone else had this experience?
