Lol - we have been married ten ears - the novelty has worn off thanks for the reply!

Thank you for the info - we are still in the beginning stages of discussion of moving etc - just trying to get an idea of what nursing is like there

Hi all: i am an American married to an Irishman. We are thinking if moving our family to Ireland. I am a RN with a bsn and am Wound Ostomy and Continence (CWOCN) certified. I have five years experience. I would be very thankful if anyone could answer some questions for me...does ireland have wound ostomy nurse specialists? Am I kidding myself thinking I can get any nursing job??? I see a lot of nursing home jobs posted...are they horrible? What is home nursing like there?? We would like to move to sligo...I know I have to petition to the board. Thank you to anyone who can give me any information!

Hi there! I was sorta in the same boat. I had my daughter and went back to working on the floor but the schedule did not work for our family. I am currently working a phone nursing job (same money - three 12 hour shifts and no holidays/weekends/nights)...its kinda like being a stay at home mom (but not as fun). I wanted to still build my clinical experiance and have always wanted to be a WOCN so I enrolled inthe WebWOC program. It is 100% online except for clinicals and was great....I just got hired as a WOCN PRN by my preceptor (can't leave my current job as they paid for school)... so my recomendation...get your BSN and go right into an online WOCN program!
