title: Nursing may be more academic these days - but not if you are Finnish.
abstract: This month it was my turn once again to renew my UKCC registration. When I came to fill in the section 'Further academic qualifications, degrees or diplomas', I realised that my two degrees, MA and BA, have never been printed on my form. I telephoned the UKCC to ask whether nursing or related degrees only were included - to be told that was not the case but that as both of my degrees were obtained at a university in Finland, they could not be recorded on my professional register.
