1. nursing really a viable option at 40? (just starting out, but tired!)

   km05 posted a topic in General Nursing

   Physically, is nursing really a viable option at 40? I know 40 is not that old and that nursing can be a great field, but when I read all the horror stories I get worried. Currently, I’m working two jobs: a full-time office job and a part-time retai...

2. How do you move to another country?

   km05 replied to OURN83's topic in International

   Sure, I know that - but having no professional experience yet as an accountant, I foresee applying to the U.K. in the profession in which I'm already working. But that does remind me to ask: Are evening training programs in the U.K. as prevalent as t...

   Australia's Skilled Worker Program: http://www.immi.gov.au/migration/skilled/ You'll see on the Skilled Occupations List (http://www.immi.gov.au/allforms/pdf/1121i.pdf ) nurses get what seems to be the maximum number of points awarded for occupation,...

4. How do you move to another country?

   km05 replied to OURN83's topic in International

   I'm fairly new to this subject myself (of moving overseas, possibly as a nurse), but I thought I should mention there's a new Highly Skilled Migrant Worker Programme in the U.K. It was just started 3 years ago. Here's a link that helps explain the pr...

5. which countries outside U.S. would accept new nurses (no job experience)?

   km05 replied to km05's topic in International

   Such as where? Just curious. Canada and Australia seem like much better possibilities than anywhere in Europe - at least, that's my impression (much higher immigration quotas, more space, more job opportunities, etc.) My husband prefers Europe becaus...

   km05 replied to km05's topic in International

   Various of my husband's relatives are EU immigrants, but he isn't; he's South Asian. Which could be kind of helpful in a place such as Dubai, which is 50% Indian and Pakistani (and almost 90% international, overall).

   You might want to try posting at http://www.dubaiforums.com or http://www.expatfocus.com/forums to see if you get a response. (Sorry, I don't know either - but I might be in Dubai or Bahrain or thereabouts someday, for a while, as a nurse!) Expatfocu...

8. which countries outside U.S. would accept new nurses (no job experience)?

   km05 replied to km05's topic in International

   No, actually, I’m quite well aware of the immigration requirements for programs such as the Skilled Worker Program in the U.K. and Canada – so I don’t see why you’re making the assumption I’m uninformed about the immigration process. (When talking ab...

9. which countries outside U.S. would accept new nurses (no job experience)?

   km05 posted a topic in International

   Which countries would be willing to accept new nurses without any professional experience? It seems that at least three years is required for foreign nurses who'd like to work in Europe. (I'm in the U.S.) What about Canada, Australia, or some Middle ...

    Thanks so much for the very helpful response! :)

11. Personal malpractice insurance....yes or no?

    km05 replied to bam_bam's topic in General Nursing

    I have a few stupid questions (I'm just a potential nursing-school student, so please bear with me here): 1) Is malpractice insurance the same as liability insurance? 2) When you apply for this insurance, are you asked about your medical history? If ...
