Are there countries that allow US nurses to work there? What would I need to do? What requirements would I have to fulfill?

I forget the company that handled the work but you can probably google it. Didn't take it because compensation wasn't as good as I thought. Was like 80k a year. Tax free and free room. You didn't have to apply for anything in their country. As long as you had a active license in the US and a passport. That was pretty much it.

trainor 2 Posts Nov 18, 2016 I am not. So I guess that answers my question about the Netherlands. :) Ireland and Australia are on my list as well. Perhaps I should look into more regions where English is spoken. Are there international travel nurse agencies I can work with?
