  1. U.k nurse employment

    Varda replied to bigboi's topic in International Nursing

    I don't know if the rent has any hospital discount or affiliation, misswoosie. I got the rent price from the agency doing the recruitment, who will be setting the nurses they hired up. They've said...

  2. U.k nurse employment

    Varda replied to bigboi's topic in International Nursing

    I've no means to compare, Silverdragon. I've made a prediction of my budget, based on the base salary (21146) minus the discounts, monthly rent (it should be all inclusive, so that's a plus); created...

  3. U.k nurse employment

    Varda replied to bigboi's topic in International Nursing

    Thank you for your input, misswoosie. You bring up valid points - I have classmates who wouldn't consider going to a rural area an hour away from home if that was the only place they could get a job...

  4. UK Nurses working abroad

    Varda replied to stefix's topic in International Nursing

    I'm going to the UK from Portugal as a newly qualified nurse, so it is possible. It just depends on where you want to go. If your idea is to go to a different EU country, there are still some that are...

  5. U.k nurse employment

    Varda replied to bigboi's topic in International Nursing

    I've recently been interviewed and offered a job offer (Band 5, newly qualified) for a hospital. They had 70 positions available for Nurses. I'm Portuguese, the interviews took place in Portugal. Now,...

  6. Nursing from Portugal to UK

    Varda replied to Sílvia_M's topic in International Nursing

    Tax is higher, but look at the bright side - your retirement will be a bit better as well. Personally I wouldn't choose London as a city to go work in, since I find it extremely expensive in rent,...

  7. Nursing to be all degree in England..

    Varda replied to madeleine's topic in International Nursing

    Just my 2 cents, as nursing is a degree course in Portugal. It has been so since 1996, I believe. I don't know how it is in the UK exactly, but over here nurses still get paid less than their academic...

  8. Nursing Students in the UK

    Varda replied to suzanne4's topic in United Kingdom

    Thank you, Silverdragon and MandaAnda. Aparently all I have to do is give the name of the uni/school to the international office of my uni, and they'll look into everything for me. I'm tempted to...

  9. presentation advice

    Varda replied to student_nurse1986's topic in International Nursing

    As a professor of mine used to say, "if advice was worth something, we'd be selling it instead of giving it". But still, I'll offer some advice anyway. It's all about attitude. If you spend the next...

  10. Nursing Students in the UK

    Varda replied to suzanne4's topic in United Kingdom

    Would any of the posters know what universities/school in the UK are open about taking foreign (european) exchange students for a semester? I'm looking for options because I would like to do one...

  11. Student nurse gave IV pot, patient died.

    Varda replied to cheshirecat's topic in United Kingdom

    This really highlights the differences between UK nursing and nursing in portugal, where I'm from. Nurses don't all learn how to administer IV medication? They don't all go through pharmacology? The...

  12. Student Exchange Programs - Erasmus

    Varda posted a topic in International Nursing

    Greetings everyone, I am a portuguese nursing student thinking about taking advantage of the Erasmus exchange students program within europe. I spoke to the professor responsable for the program at my...
