Yes, I speak Spanish :-D but we cannot use any other language in this forum except English. That's why I wanted to send you a private message, it is easier in Spanish for both of us ;-)

I don't think things in Spain are going to be better in the near future either. In Madrid the bolsa is horrible too. We only have a chance in summer. Too many people for too few job positions, you know. So it's time for me to emigrate. After summer I hope to get a job abroad.

Good luck with your new life in North Carolina!

Hello, Sopever. I am planning to move to Spain early next year 2017. I am looking at Barcelona Spain. I am not a Spanish speaker. I have a CCRN and a 10 year experience in cardiac surgery ICU. Is there any English speaking facility I can work in Barcelona that you can recommend? If so, how do I start the process of making it happen as far as paperwork needed. Thank you.

You likely need to be reasonably fluent in conversational and medical Spanish. You will have difficulties not having a Spanish or EU passport, do you already have work rights?

I have a coworker who spends a lot of time in Spain and they have used the Spanish private system.

The nurse there are all multi-lingual. Minimum Spanish and English. The charting, labs, etc is in Spanish. The wages are lower but then to a degree the cost of living is lower.

Chances of getting a job? Slim to nil. The public system is over burdened. The private system can pick the best of the best (and only speaking English? you won't make the cut). Layoff have been made in many provinces. The economy isn't great.

There are a couple of NATO facilities over there but none really close to Barcelona. Gibralter is English speaking but not close and again they hire local and UK trained. There is a large UK population in the coastal areas but they either use the private system or go home to the UK for healthcare. Those who do use the private system have very high expectations service wise.

Is there a reason you are moving there like a fiancée? Because without several languages and a EU passport, you are at a severe disadvantage for employment.
