Does anybody know about nursing in the UK?
I trained as a nurse in the UK as a SRN but left in 1978 and have been nursing in the US ever since. I am moving back to the UK later this year, and wondering if it will to possible to nurse in the UK without huge amounts of schooling. Ideally, I'd like to work part time. I am a UK citizen. Does anyone have experience in this field? Thanks!

No experience but you'll find tons on here if you haven't looked already, if you can register and if you'd need to train further to be allowed to register etc The Nursing and Midwifery Council: Safeguarding health and wellbeing | Nursing and Midwifery Council

Presumably you haven't retained your name on the nursing register (or it didn't exist when you last worked in UK), in which case see Returning to the register | Nursing and Midwifery Council. You may have to do some supervised work before you can rejoin the register.
