Is there anyone who can fill me in on RN jobs in France. I prefer the city hospiitals, I work in ICU currently. I have many years exp in Med Surg also. Would like to hear from someone. If you know about pay scale and such include that also. Thanks, bambi007;)

thanks for all the help... May i ask what is DDASS? merci

The licensing board there.

Hello abhelle,

kumusta. i read your posts and what can i say it is really hard to get a job as a nurse here in france. there are a lot of vacant positions but sad to say that for us filipino nurses the possibility are rather slim but good for you since you're married to a frenchman because the requirements according to the DDASS are 1. either married to a french national 2. or you are here as a refugie . I've made inquiries before but since I do not qualify with either requirements I am obliged to go to school here which is actually not a very good option for me. anyway just make good in your french studies although there is one filipina who made it as a nurse here. she was sent by her employer to a nursing school so she was able to work in a hospital. boone courage et a bientot!!!!

Are you saying that to practice in France you must repeat nursing

school? That is no break what so ever.

We ask that you post in proper English so that others can read and understand. Most that post here are required to write the English exams, and chart in English. So practising here with proper grammar and punctuation will be beneficial to all.

And we ask that all posts be 100% in English per the TOS of this site.

Thanks for your understanding.

Im sorry. Will do that thanks for letting us know.

hello alexk49,

you were surprised too. that was according to the DDASS employee i spoke to. what i really don't understand is this. they would accept a filipino nurse if she or he is married to a french national or here in france on a refuge status but they won't accept if we are not on either of the two requirements but the fact still remains that the diploma of the accepted candidate & that of the unaccepted candidate are the same no matter where in the philippines he or she graduated from. according to the DDASS philippine diploma does not qualify in their country oh well what can we do there are a lot of filipino nurses here in france & if only given the opportunity to work as a nurse we can help fill up vacant nursing positions here.

hello abhelle good luck on your nursing studies i'd be very glad to help you if you need inquiries do email me if you have time. best regards:wink2:

Specializes in Medical and general practice now LTC.

I think if already in France with a work permit you shouldn't have any problems. Issue will arise if wanting a work permit because EU states have to employ someone from own country first then EU before the rest of the world and employer has to prove that you are the right one for the job

Hello Silverdragon102 i have been living legally in france for about 15 years now the possibility of not being able to work here in a hospital is only applicable for those that come from asian countries otherwise with other nationals its ok:wink2:

Am surprised, have you tried with your transcripts translated into French? I know sometimes it is a case of who you know
