Nursing in France


I'd like to work as a nurse in Paris. I have dual american/italian citizenship so I think I'm able to work in France (I've never worked in Italy, only US). I've lived in France before so am familiar with the culture, language, etc. I was wondering what other nurses' experiences of working as an RN in France are. Is it easy to find work? What type of nursing jobs are most common? Anybody worked/working at the American Hospital? Pay? Or any other thoughts you might have.
Thanks and I look forward to hearing from anyone.
Mark

We have had a few members post about working in France, have you tried looking for them? You will also need to get registered in France so posts by Fred_ID may help. See post 56 here http://allnurses.com/members/204904/

Having dual citizenship will help as will being fluent in French

Good luck

Thanks for the lead. I'll have to take the time to sort through all the French legal language. Do you or anyone know if it's true that France doesn't recognize a US nursing diploma? It seems ludicrous to repeat nursing school again.

I'm still learning to navigate this website, having just joined yesterday. How do I get to post 56 in the link you sent me. I clicked on the link, but then can't find the post.
Thanks again.
