Moving to the UK for nursing felt exciting — but packing? Overwhelming! Here’s what I wish I had known:
✅ Bring more than one set of comfy nursing shoes — replacements cost more here.
✅ Pack documents: transcripts, NMC papers, references, passport copies.
✅ Adapters & power banks — UK plugs are different!
✅ A small rice cooker or air fryer (life saver if you miss home-cooked meals).
✅ Warm clothes — UK weather can surprise you, even in summer.
✅ Little things from home that make your space feel familiar — photos, snacks, a favourite mug.
I learned all this the hard way — hope it helps you pack smarter and settle easier!
