Are you a nurse? Do you like to travel and want to see cultures outside of the United States? If you do, then here are some tips to help you find out where you can find nursing jobs abroad.
Right now is a great time to move overseas and work as a nurse.
Many countries are in a position where they desperately need well trained medical staff.
Many times they are willing to pay more than average to get and keep that skill.
Taking a medical certification exam will be required before you so too.
Some countries require that you have the job before you arrive in the country so, keep this in mind when job seeking.
Before you start seriously looking at sending out applications, you must have all your paper work in order.
Most countries will ask that you show where you obtained you nursing certification and that you are a registered nurse, in the United States, before you can go.
There are a number of great places to look into especially, if you only speak English.
So, the language won't be a barrier for you.
For example: • England • Scotland • Ireland • Africa (parts) • Australia • New Zealand There are a lot of placement agencies that you can visit, who specialize in matching medical talent to jobs overseas.
They can help you work out a lot of details about the job you are seeking.
How long do you want to go for? Can your family join you? How will you get paid? Will the employer provide housing? Placement agencies can be great for helping you get set up and ready before you go.
They will be familiar with what each country requires from their travel nurses and will have attorneys on staff to get your visa in place.
There is a fantastic option to consider, if you are concerned as to whether you may like the arrangement or not, once you get there.
You can volunteer at a clinic or hospital in a foreign country of your choosing.
You can stay for anywhere from one week and up to three months.
This will give you an idea of the culture you will be living and working in once you arrive.
Being a travel nurse can be a very exciting and lucrative opportunity, to do what you love to do in a new culture.
If you have some experience under your belt, as a nurse in the United States, finding a nursing job abroad may be the perfect opportunity for you, now.
