Help required for job hunting

[Sheznbud]

Hi...to anyone who can help!!!

I've had a property in north Dordogne (nr Thivier) for 3 years and

only visited through the summer for decent holidays and to oversee any

renovation that needed completing. I'm now thinking about throwing in

the towel here in UK and making the move....only i'm a little

apprehensive about earning a living. I'm a registered nurse and unsure

of the availability of jobs for nurses. I know its possible to register

my profession but would appreciate any advice as to the procedure of

registering as available to work. If there are any nurses out there who

can help me i'd be so grateful. My plan is to arrive this spring and

start hunting!!

Hi Shez'n'bud,

I was married to a french nurse (no comments from Twinkle, just Katie, Betty or Panda please) she was an 'infirmiere à domicile'. That is, care in the home........after ops, accidents and the elderly etc. I know for sure there is a shortage of this type of nurse in France........have'nt got the facts ie: articles but I know it is a fact. For english speaking nurses.......... look to the futhure, in a few years time, with so many english speaking residents getting older, there will probably be a real need for english speaking nurses........... throughout France, especially infirmieres à domicile. Just a thought[:)]

Thanks....thats really helpful to know. I'm a community nurse at present so having all the experience and skills will be an advantage. I've just got to be brave now and make a decision...a bit scary but an exciting adventure ahead!

cheers  S

Hi Shez'n'bud.

Just a thought and as posted on another thread, get certificates translated.

Good luck. Chris
