I got hired by just submitting to an on-line posting for an RN permanent position. For sure it's no bad thing to go visit a unit (although in this case I didn't) if they have a posting but you still have to submit on-line. I was already working at th...
I think you need to gain some experience as an RN before you make a move abroad. most countries ask for around 2 years minimum and I personally think that's really not quite enough for you to gain the knowledge you need. Right now the world economy i...
Here we are more computerised and I am definitely doing a lot less paperwork than I was in the UK. I don't fear the admission anymore - like I used to! I wish the UK Trusts would look at the ridiculous amount of form filling nurses do because I know ...

At the end of the day it's retrogression that's the issue. Back in 2006 (just as retrogression started to be talked of) I began the US process through Adevia. They did not ask me to part with cash they just facilitated the job offers and helped with ...
