   Hi DavidFR, Honestly, I'm not sure how the nurses you are speaking of were able to work in France. My husband is a lawyer and I did write a letter to Mme **********(Minister of Health and Sport) last year about the difficulty that qualified foreign ...

   Hi Dennis, Nice to meet you! Sorry to hear that your dream of working as a nurse in a francophone country did not work out. I'm wondering why you could not work in Quebec? But at least, as you mentioned, you had an interesting experience. Welcome to...
