Thanks so much for your responses! To be honest, I think ALL nurses need a break. I had a total of two months off before I started my new job over here, and felt totally refreshed and ready to eagerly get back on the floor. I know the majority of nurses I worked with felt guilty about taking too much time off...but I encourage everyone to take a nice break and treat yourself well, you deserve it!!!!

Hi! I have worked a high-intensity job in peds for the past 19 months and decided to take 6-12 months off to live overseas with family...it's an opportunity I probably will never have again. However, I had to obviously give up nursing for this time because of an enormous language barrier (i'm in Korea) but I'm worried about losing not only my skills, but my nursing knowledge. I was wondering if any moms or other nurses that have taken time off had taken classes, or found any websites helpful for study while away from practicing nursing. Any direction you could give would be SO helpful. I really miss nursing, which is a great sign :), and I don't want to start at square one again. Thanks guys!

Hi! I am a new grad, and understand I probably need experience before I go abroad, but I was curious to know a few things.. 1. Is it possible? 2. What needs to happen to go abroad? 3. If abroad, how are American nurses accepted? (I understand it's probably different everywhere) I am absolutely passionate about nursing and travel! I'm interested in South America, but I'm interested in learning about what is possible! Any suggestions/knowledge would be absolutely wonderful :) Thanks!!!

hey i'm seriously considering working there, any suggestions?
