Cost to become a nurse
Today we were discussing (in our tea room) about working in other countries, and cost of registration/additional tests. According to our Irish nurses it now costs non-uk nurses £2000 to initially register (5year registration?). I have a feeling that this includes tests such as English.
So how much does it cost you to register (and how long).

In my northern New England state, the cost to renew our license is $100 (£ 68.73 according to the converter I found). That's for 2 years. We also have to have 30+ hours of continuing education. I just paid $250 for a 2 day, 14 hour CEU program. I believe 15 years ago it was over $300 to initially take my boards. It was the first year they were done on computers.

In BC (western Canada) it's $360/year (so ~203 GBP). It doesn't include any extra education sessions or anything like that (those you pay for yourself/get education leave)I don't know what other places have but it definitely would be interesting to find out.
