I am German and live in Italy now. If you need further information please send me a private message. It's true that the job situation in Germany is not easy but I think it is now easier than 1 year ago. Which other language do you speak? As Silverdra...

Hi, I have sent all my documents to the college of nursing and they are wondering what general and special nursing care in my transcripts mean. I am not sure what to tell them. Does anybody have an idea? Thank you.

My documents are from Germany. I don't want to make a mistake when I reply to the e-mail.

I don't think so, it wouldn't make sense, to be honest. In Germany nurses have had diffuculties in finding jobs for a couple of years. And you should consider that competences are much lower than in other countries. Any questions? I am German and mig...

We ask them to use the alcohol gel provided (inside the locked door) and outside the locked door we have a sign saying not to visit patients when having a cold. They don' t have to wear aprons or gowns even the patient hat MRSA or Cdiff.

What exactly does a nurse advisor do?

@vicktory: I work in an NHS Hospital, huge teaching hospital. I've startet in March 2008 in the Day Surgery in Anaesthetics which was disappointing for me as it was boring and totally different from what I was used to. After only 4 months I changed t...

Where in the UK do you want to work? I am German and have been living in the UK for exactly one year now. For me the most difficult thing still is the pronunciation as the spelling is mostly the same (latin) I´m used to. I agree with you that it is e...

As far as I know there is no more special training for paediatric nurses. I was in Northern Italy in 2006 and at college it was the last course for paediatric nursing students. However you have to have your diploma translated and send it to the Itali...

Sorry, I don´t know but maybe you could ask the Nursing and Midwifery Council?

I´ve seen this with one of our senior sisters several times during the ward round. But she leaves the room then when her phone rings...

I had good luck again and am going to change the department in the hospital. In the beginning of August I am moving to Medical and Surgical ITU. Can anybody recommend English literature? So far I only have a German book.

Of course but that shouldn´t be a problem for EU nuses. The whole process took me 4 months (I am from Germany).

It depends on how you define overseas. Some Britains include "continental Europe" as overseas.

Everything looks great! All the best to you.

As you are from Romania and this is an EU country since 2007 you are allowed to work in the UK.

Hi Robin, I am German and I moved to the UK because I was unemployed in Germany. It is very hard to get a job in Germany as many hospitals are closing. With ICU experience it could be easier. The German authority ist the "Gesundheitsamt" in Munich. I...

I am so happy, I got my first nursing job in the UK. That`s the job I wanted. I had only 1 interview and am very proud of it.

I will be working in a Day Surgery with Anethetic Department in an University Hospital in London. There are no night shifts and every weekend off, only sometimes a Saturday to work. In Germany I have worked in the Anethetic Department for around 7 ye...

Gratulations, but until 2012 it sounds as a long time to wait.

What's about the Common Wealth? I thought because of the CW an Australian citizen could come to the UK without any problems respectively would get a Visum anyway. Am I wrong?

Happy birthday Anna! [bANANA]:cheers::cheers:[/bANANA]

Is it common to arrange an appointment for an informal visit before or after sending an application?
