Comment on American wanting to move abroad, what's the best bet for an registered nurse?
Raylon@lemmy.world 5 months agoIn Switzerland we pretty much lack professional healthcare staff all the time (like half our doctors are from Germany it feels). I’m not working in the industry but afaik nursing is better paid than in Germany, just other conditions around the job are very stressful and make many people leave.
During Covid, things got bad enough that a popular initiative by the trade unions got passed which demanded augmentations to the working conditions. The concrete improvements will soon get voted on and hopefully quickly implemented.
If you already speak German fluently, learning to understand Swiss German will hopefully not be too much of a challenge to you.

Everything is better paid in Switzerland, like, a lot. And also, you’re then living in Switzerland… Since OP speaks German I would also highly recommend putting Switzerland at the top of the list since you’ll be 2/3x better paid than neighbouring countries (and, again, living in beautiful, lovely Switzerland).
