Sorry, I'm not sure what kind of a nurse RNMH or RMN are, but nurses usually can still find a job, at least here in the States (except for LPNs...we're being eliminated slow but sure). I've heard though that facilities won't pay for experience anymore. A new hire is paid the same....whether you're a new grad or have 20 -30 years experience. I'm scared to go to work each day because of the decisions being made but I'll stay because I have no choice.
RNMH is specialised - working with people who have learning disabilities ( mentally handicapped). RNM is for nursing in the mental health sector.- Sadly my english qualification is not accepted over in the US - or I would be there in the blink of an eye !
