I am not saying that people don't travel and want to work in the US, personally it's not something I would ever want to do, I have ample opportunity and an excellent standard of living here in the UK. Do you honestly believe that there are not US nurses who don't want to travel and work in Europe.

Experiencing another culture is one of the good things a person can do. It is a mind opener and it teaches you to think out of the box ! You realize there are so many different ways to get to one point from another point!!! Only a different culture can give you this kind of impact of awareness !!!!

Who knows ?? but your anger and condescending words to one of us overshadowed your daughters cause ! Do you relaize that ? Throwing around your weight in academic excellence , and what else?? oh , putting his ideas down because he is only 10 years tenure in comparison to your 30 years? Issues and baggages need to be taken care of , or it will just keep on spreading, in all areas of your life. There was nothing in his writing that put you down or you daughter. I 'm sorry to point this out , but you are just bleeding all over the place. Be !
Thank you for your concern, I believe her fever was over 104F, she got medical intervention after a US University Official found a doctor. I forgot to add several other US Students were also ill and unable to find care in Australia All these students paid a similar fee to access the Australian healthcare. Please read the whole thread. My point it was not Universal Care for my daughter.

Hi MedSurg - I don't get universal health care in foreign countries, either (with the exception of reciprocal countires like NZ and the UK). That's why I have travel insurance when I go overseas, even to countries with a reciprocal agreement.

You've mentioned paying $500 to the Australian government - was that a form of insurance? I ask because I wasn't aware that was an option, not because I'm doubting you. I can see how you could feel doubted or defensive here, particularly because your daughter was in difficulty twice when she was far fromhome and you were unable to help her, so I wanted to be clear.
