Alright. Back home. Got back Sunday morning. We had an incredible time and I enjoyed every second of it. Will go back for sure. Would have loved to stay longer but yah know... Started the first out of 8 nights yesterday. I wish you all a very merry Christmas and to those who will be stuck at work, a pleasant shift. happy holidays

@akanini It sure is...Duh i moved to munich 'bout 3 years ago and it's of course a lot different now than being on vacation a few years ago. But I just enjoy all the possibilities a big city has to offer. If you take them or not is still your choice.

I'm sure it will. But that'll happen in every city, now won't it?... That's what I think at least

@Paws2people Oh yeah I sure do but still, hey why not give it a shot :)

Thanks @adpiRN :) how much was the housing? You said they're right across the hospital. How much were they? Sounds great. Presbyterian would be one of my favorite ones too.

Thanks a bunch:))) i really appreciate it

One more question. I've read so much about "salary". sometimes I see salaries as low as $50K and then sometimes as high as $100K. How high of a salary can you expect? Im currently working on a surgical ICU. Have 3 years of working experience by now. Will that be enough to be eligible for a H1b??

Hey you guys. I live in a big city now, well not as big as The City but yeah.im pretty sure it'll be super tough but I just wanna give it a shot. I know that I sure will not be living right next to times square but yeah just wanna give NYC a shot. Would love to live and work here and I don't have family, I'm hard working, ambitious and a dedicated person...

Thanks :))) just hope this city is going to be my home one day

I arrived to NYC just yesterday evening and I absolutely just love this city. It makes me so incredibly happy whenever I'm here but yet so very sad. Because I know I'll have to leave in one week and fly back home. I know it's kinda dumb to say that on the very first day of my vacation but yeah I would just love to live here so so much that's why NYC makes me sad at the same time. Desperate to finding a job in this amazing city and wonderful country.... Have a wonderful Christmas

Yeah it's been pretty tough for international nurses to get a job over in the us lately. I'm a ICU RN not quite sure if that will make the whole H-1b visa easier

Thanks for your reply. I don't live in CA though. I'm still in Germany getting a higher degree. Even though I don't think they will evaluate it in CA but still good to have. CC would be good if I lived in CA but I would like to go through the entire evaluating process starting in about 1 1/2 to 2 years and have the terminology done by then. I know its hard to get a GC though but I still believe that there is hospitals willing to sponsor H-1b visas.

Hey you guys. I'm a German ICU RN wanting to work in Cali. Love love love the U.S. and Cali :) im wondering if any of you know a book or application to learn the English medical terminology. I've googled some NCLEX questions and downloaded a free KAPLAN prep app and I found that I'm having difficulties with the terminology. So I look up words all the time but I'm pretty sure there is books etc. to study medical terminology. Thanks :)

Hey there. First things first. Germany is definetly not the best place for a nurse to work at. I mean not even close. What makes you wanna move here so bad?

Well it's pretty close to "Kaiserslautern" which has a population around 100.000 people living there. I just checked the German employment center website which popped up 94 results. But not a whole lot for RN's in hospitals but a lot for nursing homes for the elderly. I used to work at a pretty small hospital out in the country with a population somewhere around 35.000 people and there where in need of RN's every once in a while but for instance the hospital where I work now doesn't even bother deleting job offers they have on their homepage because we have people come and go pretty much every month. I mean there is about 4500 people working at the hospital I work now so the employee turnover is pretty high.
