Hi everybody! I'll be probably moving to Seattle this June due to my husband's relocation. I've been taking care of all my papers but I'm wondering how difficult is to get a job as RN in Seattle... I'm a Brazilian Nurse with 5 years of experience in ...

I agree with you VanRN. Thank god I'm not the only one. I was starting to feel like an E.T.:chuckle

I completely disagree with you. I think there's no problem in working at a place like this. If you already treat well your patients, if they pay a decent salary, if they provide us good conditions... Why not? This would be a challenge. I've worked ...

A 78 years old lovely gentleman. He stayed at our unit for almost 3 months before he died of cancer. His daughter came to our unit bringing me a thank you card signed by all his relatives 1 week after his death. I couldn't hold my tears.

I work at a public hospital in Brazil. Generally my unit empties out. But the incredible is: some families leave their patients in the hospital up to the end of the holiday so they can happyly enjoy it by themselves, with no complicated relative to t...

The worst case I've ever seen was a boy around 6 years old. His mom fried his hands in a frying pan. The injury was bad, but worse than that was hearing him saying: "Mom, mom, I promise I'll not leave my toys out of the basket again. I promise. Pleas...

Hi fellows! I've just received a offer to do an interview for a hospital in Riyad. I've been looking for something in Dubai or Bahrain, since my husband will be probably moving soon to Manama. The offer was to Security Forces Hospital. Can anyone tel...

So, I had another doubt about starting...:typing I'm Brazilian, living in Turkey currently, but looking for a job in Dubai. The question is all these nurses who are working with you all have post graduation courses, specialties? Is it impossible fo...

Thank you all. I've been realizing (and learning a lot;)) about these differences. For instance: once a friend of mine just said "my hubby" and I spent some minutes trying to find out what it is. I always ask, of course! :roll I learned "husband" but...

I had the same doubt... I was just willing how would it be the 1st month? I'm experienced in my country. We use american books at university as well(such as Brunner & Sudarth), but I'm afraid of starting to work and see so many different dressing...

Just to add another coment... Other countries look like a paradise for nurses in my opinion...:balloons: Kind regards.

Well, in Brazil if you work for a private institution, if they ask you, you have to stay. No choice. They say you're doing a "favor", but if you don't do it, soon they will kick you. Lots of competent nurses waiting for your job... In public institut...

So sweet and polite! I had never thought about that, writing thanks-letter after the interviews, but it sounds really polite. Thanks for educating me!

Thanks for the great websites. Just a note about my previous experience, which made me sad and made me think to ask for advice from all of you... I used to work at a Public Hospital in Brazil, now I've been living abroad, but not working as a nurse a...

For sure! That would be lovelly! I'm sending you my e-mail, so you can plan to meet soon. Take care.

Hi! I can tell about nursing in Brazil... We have 3 levels of nursing in Brazil. You must study at least 4 years to become a nurse and once you finish your course, you apply to get your license. No tests are required, but the government try to contr...

Hello KateRN1! I've been living in Istanbul for 8 months. I'm brazilian and I do speak English, French and some Turkish (basic). Unfortunatelly in Turkey you must know a very good Turkish to start to work, which is not my case. During this time I've ...

I'm from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Living in Istanbul nowadays and missing the sun!

Hello everyone! To kkettle70: Check the other post "advices to work in UAE" (in international nurses). There are some informations there that maybe can help you. Good luck!

Hello fotografe! I heard that Saudi Arabia is the best country if you are talking about salaries. I don't know about exactelly how much... But if you are talking about LIFE, and if you are a woman, I think it's not a good idea to go there. Women can...
