    veritas replied to Levin's topic in International Nursing

    veritas replied to ghaleon128's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  16. curious on how to be an Irish nurse

    veritas replied to yoo jin's topic in International Nursing

    to work in UK, u need an EU passport, i believe. to work in any EU countries, u need an EU passport. so that's why, not many people go to Ireland unless they have an EU passport. To work in the UK you...

  22. Grad Nurse Support Circle!

    veritas replied to bronween's topic in International Nursing

    If you're going for interviews in the public hospitals, they seldom ask you "why do you want to work here". They have no need for that question and it seldom interests them. But if you go to private,...

  23. Would you recommend nursing?

    veritas replied to BRAGGY's topic in International Nursing
