   Endo.J replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

   I think the statement about European Healthcare is a bit too broad sweeping. I had a dreadful experience in Spain (uncaring and not a hint of dignity) but I wouldn't expect that statement to reflect on the healthcare of all European countries. As a ...

   I am so happy for you. I know what you mean by the Uni's not giving enough info, they 're already saying their not sure what specifics they have. With the whole process, out of curiosity, from beginning to end how long did it take?

8. Is age a barrier?

   Endo.J posted a topic in Texas

   I am just wondering if any of you (particularly management or older nurses) think that age is a barrier when finding work? My daughter married a Texan and is moving back to the Austin area next year, we are seriously thinking about following. I kno...

    Endo.J replied to ICunursey's topic in International

    ICunursey Just wondered if you can give me the name of your agency as you are heading to Texas they might be worth looking into. Also notice on some of your other posts that you say "we" just want to get to the states. Does that mean you have a spou...
