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 o...

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 ...

@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.

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 KA...

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....

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. W...

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

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 ...

Hey everybody, I've found this forum a couple weeks ago and decided to register to be a part of your community. I'm a male nurse from Germany working in a trauma ICU at a big teaching hospital in Munich. I'm 25 years old and recently doing a on the ...

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 home...

Good luck to you guys. You'll do well. Don't set your head on fire

I think a suits not always the best thing to wear. If you don't feel comfortable they will notice. I always wore sth not casual but not too business like. Just to feel comfortable yet look professional.

Trusting salary.com it says the Median salary is somewhere around 80K. But just as you said, some pages say in the 60s some in the upper 90s or even more. However, no matter how much it'll be it's gonna be more than what a nurse gets here I've star...

I can't tell you much about the evaluation process but what I can say is, that it is super easy to find a job these days. Hospitals here don't even have close as much nurses as they would need. However, it's really easy to find a job within a big cit...

Hey there :) cool. Where exactly was he stationed? Do you remember? You live in the US now?

Good question. I think some do and some don't obviously. There is the once that watch what you do and the way you treat them and then make up their mind and than there is others who just expect you to not be as professional as your coworkers might be...

I guess it's the same everywhere. At least here we always have chocolate and all kinds if junk food laying around for everybody to eat. Never if I bring my own food to work I can barely stand eating that bad stuff. We even have a pizza oven in our st...

I love hummus but had it once during a night shift and will not do it again

No break until 1st of June. Will spend most of the time at home studying for exams. Thinking about visiting NYC for a week.
