US Nurses Wishing to Work Overseas

I too am interested in working overseas as an RN in a couple years, and looking into options. I do wish to get paid and cannot be a volunteer -- and wish to work overseas for a minimum of one year. I know the foreign service hires RNs to work in US embassies. I'm interested in any info anyone can offer as to the opportunities out there.

Hi I am extremely interested in working Western Europe. I am studying French, and I also have considered applying to the nursing board in Ireland. If any one has gone through the process recently please give me some info. Thanks

I'm an older & married new grad LPN working in Bradenton FL hospital & have a single Russian RN friend who's worked in this country 11 or more years. We're tentatively planning a trip to Paris early part of May on a deal $499/$599 air & accomods'. I saw posted by Gate1 Travel on the Frommer's travel site.
Hubbie won't go on this trip, bad knee...he knows I'd live in Provence-Cote d'Azur or Paris given the opportunity.
Studying French CDs in the car etc.
HCA (Sen. & Dr. Bill Frist family corporation), whom I work for, has hospitals in UK & Switzerland (everyone says live on France's border as Switzerland too pricey). Check out www.HCA.com for the sites.
Half the battle is putting yourself in a position to get to where you want to go, the other half is preparation: for me- finishing to RN; becoming fluent in language of destination; making forays to destination to familiarize oneself & make sure glases are not rose tinited & views romanticized!
Good luck!

Suzanne: Would you be familiar with a requirement of a BSRN is wanting to work in Middle East? Or is that just rumour?

I know of many South African nurses who have gone to work abroad eg: Saudi they donot have the four course but two year RN diploma.
