  12. uk nurse

    RGN1 replied to staffnursepenny's topic in International Nursing

  16. could i get some more opinions on this please?

    RGN1 replied to TinaK's topic in International Nursing

    Sounds like this could be a way in - maybe you could end up picking up some bank shifts as a nurse?? I agree with SD's warnings though - make sure that just because you're a nurse they don't ask you...

  17. USA, UK, Australia, Canada or Switzerland- I need your opinion on this

    RGN1 replied to Oneasia19's topic in International Nursing

  24. Are you in Nursing for the Caring or the Cash?? Be Honest

    RGN1 replied to 1BlessedRN's topic in General Nursing
