Best Jobs to apply for in France for british moving to the North

Best Jobs to apply for in France for british moving to the North?
My girlfriend and I are planning to move to Northern France in a couple of years when she has finished UNI. She is a student nurse. Im at current a PCSO and have been for 6 years. At present we both speak basic french but are going to try and learn more before we move. I only have a GNVQ in travel and tourism from 8 years ago. Can anyone recommend any jobs we should look for and if her nursing is recognised in france.

GNVQ in travel and tourism!!! Interesting, send us a private message and a CV. What part of Northern France are you looking at? @ny: Have a horrible feeling your answer in rather inaccurate. We have many doctors and nurses working here that qualified overseas.

no, medical degrees of any sort never travel, that is, if you got yours in UK, it's valid in UK only and nowhere else, if you have a Canadian medical diploma - it's valid only in Canada, and so on. If she wants her degree to be recognised in France, she will have to undergo a lengthy test, examinations, and so on, and you can fail at the end, and people told me, that it was easier and cheaper just to get enrol into a medical school and do it all over again. So, if you want to move to France for good, she is wasting her time. Unless you plan to return back home some time in the future, then, again, she will be disqualified for not being in active practise, so she would have to undergo a test in UK... and so on. You did not tell us, too, if two years were only studies, or some practical time was allotted to this time frame, because, a nurse with a foreign diploma and no experience is a nobody. If she has some references from some hospital or such, she might hope for a mother's assistant with a medical background, and earn some little euros, or a private caregiver (non-official, not a nurse but rather a helper to the elderly) for some old bedridden person and, too, earn little euros. Her education is useless anywhere abroad.

American Nurse working looking to work in France

American Nurse working looking to work in France?
I am an American pre-nursing student working on a dual major in social working and for some time I have been wanting to experience another culture not through the eyes of a tourist but as a citizen. The country that tops my list is France particularly the city of Marseille. My biggest concern is licensing, the demand for labor, cost of living and wages. I'm somewhat fluent in French, although my pronunciation can use some work.

I don't know about France specifically but nurses seem to be in demand everywhere. You might consider applying for work in the UK - definite demand there. The UK will probably allow you to work there as a highly skilled professional. There are programs for recruiting teachers, nurses, etc. Once you are there it should be easier to get yourself to France...you can do the research MUCH easier.

Obviously the big issue is being fluent. Here is one source http://www.oesworld.com DA

I'm pretty sure you can only be trained to be a nurse in the country in which you plan on being a nurse. If you want to be a nurse in Europe, learn the language of the country you want to live in. I'm pretty sure they wouldn't teach someone who only speaks English how to be a nurse in that country.

Were there US nurses in France during the Battle of the Bulge

Were there US nurses in France during the Battle of the Bulge?
I want to be sure of my historical facts for a story I'm writing, and I was wondering if there were any female nurses in France during the Battle of the Bulge? And if so, where? Thanks for the help.

Many nurses were actually WAC's and were sent along to help set up hospitals wherever the troops were. So, yes, there were American female nurses in Europe during WWII.
