  1. Home Health Nursing in France

    Thank you for your comments jitomim. It's helpful. I'm familiar with infirmiers.com, and have looked at some of the information you have sent me. I have more than 2 years of hospital work here in the U.S., and they specifically say to work as an infi...
  2. Home Health Nursing in France

    Hello, I'm an Italian citizen (with an EU passport) but hold an american nursing diploma. I'm also a certified wound ostomy nurse in the US (CWOCN). I've applied to the local DDASS in Paris for recognition of my diploma. I realize that I will have to...
  3. Is WOCN an entry level position?

    You'll have all those questions answered during your training. There are very specific steps to take in order to become certified. The program will help you with that. One of my colleagues did the Emory program and he thought it was excellent. I did ...
  4. Clinical hours short of NMC suggestion?

    thanks Silverdragon, for the info on what nursing school is like in the UK. It sounds like a 3 year bootcamp! I felt somewhat unprepared after I graduated from my US nursing program. Luckily I was already working as a CNA in two hospitals, and they b...
  5. Clinical hours short of NMC suggestion?

    that's incredible. I know what you mean. I was overwhelmed by my nursing program as well. Maybe we have more documentation than they do, regarding care plans, etc. Who knows? I know that the community college nursing programs have more clinical hours...
  6. Is WOCN an entry level position?

    getting certified in wound and ostomy care was the best decision I ever made in nursing. The training is very in depth and I have never received more respect from doctors, surgeons and patients. If you're interested in wounds, I definitely recommend ...
  7. Clinical hours short of NMC suggestion?

    thanks for the advice, babyRN. I'm probably worrying too much. I can't imagine nursing schools in the UK are that different from the US. Are you working in the UK now? If so, how's the job market for nursing?
  8. Clinical hours short of NMC suggestion?

    This is all very helpful information, as I'm applying to the NMC, as well. I just received my paperwork from the University where I received my Bachelor's of Nursing, and the hours they calculated as far short of what the NMC states in their informa...
  9. International Nurses and UK Nursing

    Thanks for the informative article. Does anyone know if after completing the overseas nurses program and given a PIN by the NMC, would our RN status be considered "permanent"? Or is there any kind of probationary period involved. The reason I ask is,...
  10. Nursing in France

    Wow! It's amazing that this thread has been going on for so many years. I've skimmed most of it, and have a good idea of what to expect regarding nursing in France. I would like to work in France as a nurse. I have dual american italian citizenship, ...
  11. i would very much like to speak to italian nurses about nursing in Italy. I'm thinking of doing a master's program in wound care in Italy, and am interested in how nursing is organized in Italy, especially wound care nurses. Anche possiamo parlare it...

  13. how to become a wound care consultant?

    Hello Rocco, I just saw your post, even though it's 2 years later. I'm a CWOCN (certified wound, ostomy and continence nurse) in the US, and I was thinking of doing a master's in Italy in wound care. Did you finish your program? I'm very curious abou...
  14. I've been doing some searches on this as I would like to move to Italy in a few years. There are some universities that offer advanced nursing degrees in Italy. I'm not sure how that translates into jobs, however. i don't believe there's anything lik...
