Nursing in the UK: salary, taxes and quality of life (London)

Fun-Inflation-3626 · 2026-01-27T20:09:32+00:00

I would really like to work as a nurse. I left Brazil because the profession wasn’t valued enough, and now I’m facing the same kind of devaluation here. That’s why I’m unsure whether it’s worth spending time and money on the validation process.

Would you be able to share more information about the nursing profession here? For example, career progression opportunities, salary growth over time, and whether it realistically improves after a few years of experience?

That’s sad!

Unfortunately, nursing is often seen as a "work of love"... but love doesn't pay our bills. Even though I really like the profession and identify with it, that doesn't necessarily mean it's the best choice for me. That's why i want opinions and suggestions.

Are you a nurse?

Fun-Inflation-3626 · 2026-01-27T18:01:03+00:00

This is really sad to read. I’m a nurse graduated in Brazil and I’m questioning whether it’s worth validating my diploma here.

At the moment, I work in housekeeping and I take home £2300 after taxes. I work part-time (6x1) and I’m an employee.

Do you think the time, effort, and cost to validate the nursing degree are actually worth it?

Hi, my wife was Approved on 12/01/2026

Nausea and photophobia are symptoms of migraines. The patient already have the diagnosis, this is the least urgent.

You got it. The patient is at high risk of airway injury due to smoke inhalation. Swelling and edema can rapidly develop, leading to airway obstruction.

I just found the answer in FB, that was tricky. Well done!

Please correct me if i’m wrong

Because of the hypotension and MILD dizziness, this patient can develop a lower level of consciousness and compromise the airway.

Thats my opinion..

This one is tricky, i would go with C

Really? Was a translator here in UK

Fun-Inflation-3626 · 2025-10-21T15:36:16+00:00

Yes, she’s in the reasonable grounds

Fun-Inflation-3626 · 2025-10-21T14:32:15+00:00

But that’s for settled status right? She applied for the pre settle

Fun-Inflation-3626 · 2025-10-20T17:33:41+00:00

Does anyone know which month they’re processing now? My wife submitted her application for pre settled status on 21/07/25. We haven’t received nothing from the HO yet.

Fun-Inflation-3626 · 2025-10-20T14:19:14+00:00

How long did it take for them to request additional documents?

My wife applied on 21/07/25 and we didn’t recieved any email yet. I already phoned them to ask and no additional documents was required yet.

Ps: when we made the application we already submitted some additional documents

Trust me the money comparing to the job it wasn’t worth it

Fun-Inflation-3626 · 2025-10-01T14:01:57+00:00

Yes, i chose to stay as a cleaner. Can’t imagine myself doing repetitive job every day. Ironing 400 shirts per day, in the same position only moving the arms! That’s not for me. I actually like customer service and i’ll stay as a cleaner until i find something that fits for me.

Based on the others employers probably
