title: Work in Europe.
abstract: One of the first things that should be taken into account when considering the big move abroad is the language difference. It is obviously vital that nurses are able to communicate on a professional level with their patients. Basic school French or German is totally inadequate in preparing nurses for working abroad, and in an emergency situation there will not be time to refer to a phrasebook! Further tuition in the relevant language is needed, and in general the recruiting agencies take it upon themselves to provide the relevant intensive course.
