Nurse wants to move to Europe?
I was wondering if there was a high demand for nurses in European countries such as there is in America. I was thinking more specifically in Spain. I am currently attending Nursing school and plan on finishing with my BSN (Bachelor of Science in Nursing). I am fluent in Spanish and English and would like to have the opportunity to move abroad. What would it take, How much, Visas, finding out about nursing employment, etc. I know it is extremely difficult getting accepted into other countries so I am hoping the fact that I am a skilled worker will help. If you have any experience doing so please tell me how it went for you or anyone else with general information that will be of use to me.

Why don't you explore working for a large corporation that has divisions in Europe...or even the federal government? There is often a need for school nurses or corporate nurses for American entities and military bases around the world. That way, you can work for an American company, which might be better-suited to your needs, but still live in a foreign country and soak up the culture and life-style. Some jobs do include housing, such as on a military base. If you were interested in Dubai, for example, you would have luxurious accommodations and probably a Mercedes as a company car.... --BrainBabe

Actually, you may have an advantage over most people wanting to move to Europe because healthcare professionals are in some demand. Being fluent in Spanish will certainly help. Check with the Spanish embassy for requirements: http://www.maec.es/Subwebs/Embajadas/Washington/en/Home/Paginas/Home.aspx. There is information on work and residence visas here: http://www.maec.es/subwebs/Consulados/LosAngeles/en/MenuPpal/Visados/Trabajo/Paginas/noticia1.aspx I can't help you directly since I moved to Italy rather than Spain, but the requirements are similar. A good place to do some research is the various ex-pat websites where you can benefit from the experiences of others who have already made the move. http://www.expatica.com/es/main.html http://www.spainexpat.com/ http://www.expatforum.com/expats/spain-expat-forum-expats-living-spain/ http://www.thisisspain.info/ http://www.escapeartist.com/e_Books/Living_in_Spain/Living_in_Spain.html
