| Nursing In Ireland Just throwin' this out....for those of you who do not know, I worked in Dublin for about a year in 98/99. I have been in contact with the Director of Surgical Services at St.James Hospital and they have openings. If anyone is interested give me an e-mail and I will try to help you get started. I may want to go back and work there in a few years so if anyone wants to make a long range plan maybe we can go as a package deal. Traveling to the rest of the world is easy and cheap from Dublin. You get loads of time off and it would take about 5yrs. to totally discover all that Ireland has to offer. lpatterson5@triad.rr.com |

| Re: Nursing In Ireland Have read this thread with much enthusiasm since I joined this site. Have known a few nurses where my wife works that travel. And this seems very interesting to me. Gives you a chance to see many exciting places and get paid for it. What else is there. Hopefully with a little luck, 3 years from now I can actually get to do that. But I love reading all the stuff here about it. Keep up the good work. Jerry Harsh |

| Re: Nursing In Ireland What licensing does an American nurse need to get to work as an RN in Ireland (or anywhere in the UK for that matter) and how does one go about it? |
