Re: American in Norway
Hi Terry,
Yes, I would like to stay in touch, although my replies may be sporadic. I just graduated this year from the nursing program, so I have a rather limited view of the way nursing is around here, but I can tell you what I know. I haven't started working as a nurse yet (still unsure if I want to...). But I am currently working at the hospital as a transcriptionist, so I am still in close contact with the nursing environment.
As for the yearly protest in Oslo for salary increases, I haven't heard that people actually march in the streets, but I do know that the national nursing union is still trying to get a salary increase.
Norway is a beautiful country and I am thankful everyday that I am so privileged to live here. Do you plan on making another visit? Do you know any Norwegian? What part of Norway is your family from?
My name is Krystal and I have no Norwegian blood in my family. Feel free to ask any questions you like!
Gode hilsener (Warm greetings)
Krystal
