Hi! So did you take the test? How was it?

Hi, I am thinking about working in Queens for commute convenience but I have not heard anything about hospitals there. Is someone working at Mount Sinai Hospital of Queens for instance? I would be very grateful to anyone who would share his/her exper...

Sorry! Excellent French NYDreamer ;-)

Salut ! Je suis francaise et je travaille actuellement a Presbyterian. Tu peux m'envoyer un mail perso si tu veux et je te repondrai.

Wow! I am currently working for one of those big name hospitals in Manhattan and I have to say that my benefits are really great and I have a lot of time off with good salary. So if I can find the same or better closer to my home, well I will send my...

Hi hajiagambo! Thank you for answering me. Do you know if the benefits and salary are the same as in Manhattan?

Hello, knowing life is very expensive in the City, what kind of appartment can you afford as a nurse in Manhattan or the boroughs? My fiancé would like me to join him there, and I was wondering what to expect for a rent. Is it difficult to find an ap...

Hello NYsante, I am a French RN and I am in NYC for 6 weeks now. In France we have a big store that is the equivalent of the Barnes and Noble here, it is named "FNAC". Their website is www.fnac.fr and you will find lots of them in Paris. There is one...

Hello JanaP! Just wondering if you've finally found a job in the area you wanted? I hope your hunt has been successfull. Dudette

As you wonder, the rest of the world is wondering why the government is not rushing to send help there. I heard 60 countries proposed their help, even Fidel Castro proposed to send doctors! We all worry for all that people, having nothing left and so...

:balloons: Hey! Congratulations!!!!!

I have worked with a Belgium nurse last night, and he told me he went to the DDASS for his papers and it was very quick and easy. As soon as your diploma will be recognized as a European one, it looks like you won't have any difficulties working in o...

Did you buy something in NYC? If your agent could help us to find a great renting appartment, so yes, I'd like to have her email adress. Is she located in NYC too?

:balloons: Well, I am happy I gave you some fun, hee hee hee !!! Did you learn French at school or did you spend some time here before? If you wish to speak French with some nurses, I could give you an adress for a good French website. I have to say ...

Yeah, this is what I heard about prices and what appartments look like. About the agent, I would never have dare to talk to one if I was not going to use it until you tell me. I realize I don't stop to compare things with my own culture. But it seems...

Right, I am sorry for the language and translate it right now. I just came back from my night at work and answered without thinking! I think I should go to bed now!:wink2: "My fiancé is American and does not speak French so we decided to live in NYC...

Hey, that is an idea! I will start to look there. Do you think it is worth it to go through a real estate agent to find an appartment? It says it is expensive, but I've got the feeling I could find something nicer or larger or less old in a better s...

Salut Sissou ! Je me suis retrouvée dans ton cas, car mon fiancé étant américain, et vu qu'il souhaite que nous vivions à New York pour l'instant (il ne parle pas un mot de français !), il m'a fallu réviser le DE en anglais et passer le NCLEX pour ob...

hi era! i am a rn for 4 years now and i am working as an agency nurse (intérimaire) at night. for a full time, witch is 15 nights per months, i earn 1950 euros a month. this salary is what you have after the social taxes are taking of. means after yo...

Hi and sorry for answering so late, but I just read your question ! All I can tell you, is that a friend of my Mum who is a RN, had to do a stage of 6 months after 10 years of non activity, to be allowed to work as a nurse again. I know it is very lo...

Oh wow! Thank you for the info. Yes for now we are separated, but he asked me to move to share an appartment with him as we cannot support to be separated anymore, and his level in french doesn't allowed him to look for a job in France for now. But t...

Is it a big town? Except NYC, I realise I don't know anything about New York State. A real tourist!! I should start to learn about it.

Yes, I am more and more aware of that. I think it is a good idea to look for a 1 bedroom in Queens or Brooklyn. I think what you lost as space and all the facilities in your house, maybe you win it in all the activities the city offers. At least, I h...

It was my dream to discover NYC as a holliday but not to live there until I met my fiancé. At this time it was a little bit scary because I have to leave my family and the way I am living to something totally different. But the more I am reading and ...

Thank you both for your answers. Prices are crazy! I can see how difficult it is to find a decent appartment there at a decent price. But if it is the price to pay to be with my fiancé... let's try! He talks about Astoria Queens. I was wondering abou...
