American wanting to move abroad, what's the best bet for an registered nurse?

Hi there, I'm a registered nurse in Phoenix, Arizona and I'm seriously considering moving abroad because this country is driving me insane for a lot of reasons. I was considering moving to Israel since I'm Jewish and I've heard they have a better healthcare system there and pay nurses well but this war has made me not really consider that anymore, so I'm open to suggestions. Thanks

In the UK visas are awarded on a points system. You get X number of points for having a college degree, Y points for it being in a certain field, etc. from what I've been told, nurses and doctors immediately qualify for all points required to get a visa just based on profession

However, as someone that moved to the UK 13 years ago, I don't consider it a great destination. Prexit really screwed everything up. Having an EU passport would have been an incredible complement to my US passport, but now a British passport is no more useful that my American passport, especially since most of my travel is to the European continent. Also, the NHS is being gutted continually so in all id just say it's not the most desirable location if you're in the healthcare field.

At minimum, I'd look at countries that are properly in the EU, which includes Ireland. Other countries in western Europe would be great as well I think, depending on what kind of life you're looking to live in. Something I've noticed is that generally Europe very quickly transitions from city to countryside. In the US you'll get suburbs that stretch for dozens of miles past the core infrastructure of the nearest major city, where as in Europe it's usually straight to farming fields and two lane roads.

France, Belgium, Netherlands, Spain and Germany would all be excellent locations to start a new life in healthcare I think. Each of those (except the Netherlands maybe) would expect you to be working towards fluency in their language though, so if you're not interested in learning a foreign language that is definitely something to consider - which is why Ireland and Dublin specifically is so desirable to Tech companies and has been for the last 15 years.

In general I would say that as someone in the healthcare field, you do have a job that is valued highly as far as getting a visa is concerned in Europe.

    Spoken like a true neglected 13 year old boy.

    As you get older, you’ll find that actual relationships are more rewarding than trolling.
