  1. Hi... I am interested in becoming a midwife and am currently applying to the NMC to be registered as a RN in the UK. I was looking at going to Frontier in the US, but have heard from others here that the UK has the best midwives in the world. My que...
  2. US Nurses Wishing to Work Overseas

    Hi EarthMama9, I have never lived in South Korea but my husband is AF and we are currently stationed in Germany. As an LPN you can work on the military base in a few different capacities. You could work as a Tricare liaison (this is always a LPN po...
  3. US to UK travel nursing: UPDATE!

    Back in May/June 2007, I wrote on these boards trying to figure out how to become a UK RN. I had many people say it couldn't be done, but I'm here to tell you that it can! I just wanted to give a quick update that I am now a registered RN1 with the N...
  4. US nurse working over seas

    Hi Travelbugg 2000 I am a US nurse, who is now registered with the NMC and working through a travel agency in London. If you want more information on how I did it, just message me here or email me direct. Hope I can help you!
  5. Holistic Nursing Programs

    TSU is a distance program for a MSN, but that is all I can find and have not heard back from them after my inquiry into their program.
  6. Holistic Nursing Programs

    Does it give you a certification? Their website is not that clear.
  7. Holistic Nursing Programs

    I know this thread is old, but am also looking into holistic nursing programs and now in 2008 can still only find the NYU and TSU degrees. Does anyone know if there are any others out there? Are there any distance programs? Thanks so much for any ...
  8. Good online NP program?

    With no visits required? Anyone have any tips about this? I'm in Germany and want to do my online program while here but do not want to have to worry about traveling back to the States. Any information anyone has will be so helpful!
  9. Dependent AF spouse RN questions

    I have posted this on the International nursing site, but wanted to post here as well. It seems like mostly active duty RNs are here, but if there are any dependent spouse RNs, please let me know! We just moved to the NATO base in GK, Germany. We a...
  10. Dependent AF spouse RN questions

    Everything is way up. I think the RN that is coming here is going to Ramstein, so she might have it easier, but we have to shop at Schinnen Army base and it is a small C class commissary where it carries virtually nothing (think shoppette) and is qu...
  11. Dependent AF spouse RN questions

    Lizzie... Well, it was cheap to travel. Right now the dollar is down - way down! We are on par with the Canadian dollar and we haven't been on par with them for 3 decades. So everything is WAY more expensive here. We're at 1.45 right now, so what...
  12. Dependent AF spouse RN questions

    Do a search on USAjobs.com and find nurse positions in Germany. There were 6 that mailed out to me this last week. Get your resume up on the resumix and start applying from there - that will give you a jump start on things. The jobs I looked at re...
  13. Dependent AF spouse RN questions

    Oops... I didn't see your last post. I'm going to go through a travel agency and they provide a flat for you for each 13 week assignment. It's just like travel nursing in the US. I checked into the flight on Ryan Air. It might be a little differe...
  14. Dependent AF spouse RN questions

    NursePamela - LDRNmommy is going to Ramstein, I believe, but I'm in the NWesternmost part of Germany on the NATO base. We don't have a BX here b/c are base is not USAF or USArmy. We are only NATO. The shops that we do have on this base are run by ...
  15. Dependent AF spouse RN questions

    I'm still in the process of applying to the UK. I'm on my last step and they are awaiting my school transcripts and break down of theory vs clinical hours and 1 more reference. I hope to hear SOMETHING by the end of this month - hopefully! I've ap...
  16. US Nurses Wishing to Work Overseas

    Okay - so this will be my last post. These boards are for supporting and encouragement of others in our profession, however, I feel like this thread has taken on a "let's beat her down" mentality. In my previous post I was talking about how travel ag...
  17. US Nurses Wishing to Work Overseas

    Thank you all for your input. I have more than one year experience - I've been working in L&D since 1/2005, so that makes it almost 3 years. The other poster earlier has less than a year. When I initially moved here I started searching here to ...
  18. US Nurses Wishing to Work Overseas

    PS - the travel agencies are for ppl that travel. I have a friend that is traveling from the US to the UK working for them now through the agency and they are not bent out of shape that they are not living permanently in the UK. So, it seems promis...
  19. US Nurses Wishing to Work Overseas

    I have checked the UK board and working overseas. That's how I found out about this travel agency. My rep has been great, so I hope that things go well. No, I'm not on my ONP yet. I just sent all my paperwork to verify my license and coursework. They...
  20. US Nurses Wishing to Work Overseas

    Ha ha! I went back and looked at the post and you are right - she never said military! I guess I just assumed since she said "assignment" and 2 years. That is why I asked her if she was at Okinawa (a military base) or some other location. I know so m...
  21. US Nurses Wishing to Work Overseas

    Well, when I replied to Ksanda1, I was writing her as a military spouse to military spouse answering her question. I have no idea what it's like for others living overseas, just about spouses of military members living overseas as that is what I'm go...
  22. US Nurses Wishing to Work Overseas

    PS - I can also work for the NATO/international governement positions here at GK (the NATEX - Canadian run, German positions at GK, etc.) since the official language of NATO is English. I also do not need a Visa for these positions, but none are pos...
  23. US Nurses Wishing to Work Overseas

    Suzanne - I'm not sure where you've gathered your information from, but I think it is either outdated or applicable to those living overseas not associated with the military. As far as the UK goes, I'm already on my last step of my application proces...
  24. US Nurses Wishing to Work Overseas

    I'm in the same boat in Germany and am bored out of my mind! However, I'm applying to work in the UK as that is the closest English speaking country near Germany. Are you at Okinawa? There is a US military hospital there. If not at Okinawa, would it ...
  25. Good online NP program?

    Well, I'm not an International Student per se. I am an American that is living abroad in Germany for the next 3 years. What kinds of NP programs do they have? Midwifery? How do you like it? How are the courses? I will look up the link now?
