How To Become a Nurse in the UK; A Nigerian Nurse Journey

What does it really take to build a nursing career in the UK as a Nigerian nurse? In this episode of Career Chat with EF, I sit down with Phoebe Eluwande, a UK-based nurse, for an honest conversation about her journey from Nigeria to building a nursing career in the United Kingdom. We talk about what it takes to become a nurse in the UK, navigating the transition into the UK healthcare system, the realities of working abroad, career opportunities for nurses, adapting to a new professional environment, and some of the challenges people rarely talk about when discussing international nursing careers. Phoebe also shares lessons from her own journey, what she wishes she knew earlier, and practical insights for Nigerian and African nurses considering the UK or thinking about taking their nursing careers global. If you're a nurse in Nigeria considering moving to the UK, a nursing student exploring international opportunities, or simply curious about what working as a nurse in the UK is really like, this conversation is for you. In this episode, we discuss: becoming a nurse in the UK, building an international nursing career, transitioning from Nigeria to the UK, working in the UK healthcare system, career growth and opportunities for nurses, adapting to life and work abroad, and Phoebe's lessons for nurses considering a similar journey.
