2. US to UK travel nursing: UPDATE!

   lauritasol posted a topic in Travel

   Back in May/June 2007, I wrote on these boards trying to figure out how to become a UK RN. I had many people say it couldn't be done, but I'm here to tell you that it can! I just wanted to give a quick update that I am now a registered RN1 with the N...

   TSU is a distance program for a MSN, but that is all I can find and have not heard back from them after my inquiry into their program.

   Does it give you a certification? Their website is not that clear.

   lauritasol replied to adboehnen's topic in Holistic

   I know this thread is old, but am also looking into holistic nursing programs and now in 2008 can still only find the NYU and TSU degrees. Does anyone know if there are any others out there? Are there any distance programs? Thanks so much for any ...

7. Dependent AF spouse RN questions

   lauritasol replied to lauritasol's topic in Government

   Everything is way up. I think the RN that is coming here is going to Ramstein, so she might have it easier, but we have to shop at Schinnen Army base and it is a small C class commissary where it carries virtually nothing (think shoppette) and is qu...

   lauritasol replied to lauritasol's topic in Government

   Lizzie... Well, it was cheap to travel. Right now the dollar is down - way down! We are on par with the Canadian dollar and we haven't been on par with them for 3 decades. So everything is WAY more expensive here. We're at 1.45 right now, so what...

   Do a search on USAjobs.com and find nurse positions in Germany. There were 6 that mailed out to me this last week. Get your resume up on the resumix and start applying from there - that will give you a jump start on things. The jobs I looked at re...

10. Dependent AF spouse RN questions

    lauritasol replied to lauritasol's topic in Government

    Oops... I didn't see your last post. I'm going to go through a travel agency and they provide a flat for you for each 13 week assignment. It's just like travel nursing in the US. I checked into the flight on Ryan Air. It might be a little differe...

    I'm still in the process of applying to the UK. I'm on my last step and they are awaiting my school transcripts and break down of theory vs clinical hours and 1 more reference. I hope to hear SOMETHING by the end of this month - hopefully! I've ap...

13. US Nurses Wishing to Work Overseas

    lauritasol replied to suzanne4's topic in Registration

    Okay - so this will be my last post. These boards are for supporting and encouragement of others in our profession, however, I feel like this thread has taken on a "let's beat her down" mentality. In my previous post I was talking about how travel ag...

14. US Nurses Wishing to Work Overseas

    lauritasol replied to suzanne4's topic in Registration

    Thank you all for your input. I have more than one year experience - I've been working in L&D since 1/2005, so that makes it almost 3 years. The other poster earlier has less than a year. When I initially moved here I started searching here to ...
