   mamamia replied to mamamia's topic in Missouri

4. St. Louis University International Nursing

   mamamia replied to 3KittiesRN's topic in Missouri

   Working abroad require a license in each country; in France for example, you have to take the exam in french after you go to school for one year there even though you are an RN in US. Not shure for England but presume the same for Spain. But why yo...

    My wife wants to move to Virginia this summer (we are in Cali.) and I'm concerned about the "safety" thing from previous posts, in Richmond. Why is that? We can't even buy a shack in Orange County, CA with $400K! I do ER and she does dialysis; we ...
