International Nurse vs Uk Nurse

Hi all, I am future nurse from Portugal.

First of all I am looking for some some differences between the systems. To know what a nurse do or don't do in the UK.I know already there are some differences. We have a lot more independecy here when we finish the course. Is there any place where I can check the different kind of nurse ranks in the uk?

In Portugal there are only a single 4 year bachelor degree of Nursing so every nurse most follow the some syllabus and trainning before get to be a nurse.

I would say 40% is practice in hospital and clinical enviroment
60& at college in lectures and practices. from that 60%, 40% are for nursing fundamentls and specialitys, and the last 20% go to anatomy, chemistry, disease, microbiology, fisiology.

There are no difference between tje course from adul, child or mental nurse, only after in the 2 year post-grad specializations.

If you know any Portuguese Nurse, how are they seen in the UK.

Any tips on moving to UK, or some key-specializations to uk nurses would be fantastic

thanks in advance and sorry for my English that need a lot of practice.
