United Kingdom offers a bunch of advantages and great conditions for Nurses, this is a fact we can’t (and we won’t) refute, but we also believe that it is important that you sit down and carefully reflect on this decision in order to find out if it would be the right choice to “leave everything behind” and start working abroad in total new professional and personal experience. WE BET IT WILL, but still, we want to highlight the importance of this kind of decisions, because they’re life-changing. Don’t you agree?
