Fred, thank you for your response and yes, I'm beginning to see how complicated it is to work in France. You're right, I'll think I'll stay here and maybe retire in France. Mark

I know your response was over a year old, but I'm inquiring into working as an RN in France, as well. I believe I can work in France since I have dual american/italian citizenship, but have an american nursing license. Do the French require coursewor...

Hello Fred, I just saw your post and wanted to say hello. I'm a nurse working near San Francisco in California, US. I noticed you live in Bretagne. Such a beautiful place, I have visited several times. I'm curious about nursing in France and would l...

Thanks for the lead. I'll have to take the time to sort through all the French legal language. Do you or anyone know if it's true that France doesn't recognize a US nursing diploma? It seems ludicrous to repeat nursing school again.

Thanks for the advice, I think that the re-entry course is the way to go. As much as I want to get back into the swing of hospital work, I feel insecure about it. Now the trick is to find a med surg job in this economy.
I've been working as a nurse for 12 years, the first few of which I did acute care. I then moved into community health settings, such as home health, clinic, and hospice. Now I'd like to pursue critical care, but find there are no training programs h...
I've been working in community health for two years, but now want to return to acute care to eventually pursue critical care. The problem is, I've been out of the hospital for over 10 years and nobody wants to hire an RN without recent acute care exp...
