Bio: I am an RGN working in United Kingdom for the past 8 Years. I have 18 years of experience working in Europe as a Registeredf Nurse in hospitals in the public sector as well in private health care such as insurance companies, home care and now quite settled in the nursing homes enviroment. I work as an agency nurse for different health care providers in the UK. I am sent to diffirent care or nursing/residential homes around England working covering ad hoc shifts when needed; something that the Americans would call "travelling nurse". It is an expensive way to work, but I enjoy going to different cities and towns and experience life outside of my comfort zone. As agency nurse your wages (not salary) are above normal wages because of the extensive traveling and the additional cost to you whe you are away from your home. As a rule of thumb, you can negociate with your agency the rates per hour taking into account your average expenses such as: eating, and accommodation and of course petrol or public transport cost. If the price is right you go ahead and negociate, if not you can refuse the offer or request. It is always advisable to see what you can negociate with the agencies in order tfor you to always get a decent wages after the deductibles like taxes, pensions, travel cost accommodation and food expenses. I hold 2 degrees in nursing: A bachelor degree in Nursing and Health Care Sciences and Master's degree in Health Care Sciences and Health Promotion. During my Master's degree I have acquired a certification in Global Health from the University of Copenhagen via online courses which was complementary to my Master's degree. I have worked mostly experienced in Geriatric care, with a bit of complex care needs patients. Now I am now in the process of applying to be a manager to Foster Care for children age 10 and above. I have a soft spot for working on project in developing countries especially where Nutrition and Health is concerned in both young children and older adults. I am offering advices for migrant health care workers in the Uk where requirements in the healthcare sector are concerns as well as how to survive and be sucessful in the UK as an healthcare worker. In my experience I have had a lot of ups and downs working in the UK as a beginner. It is always good to get a job contract before moving to the UK, like that you are guaranteed a job and a place to stay. I also suggest that you link up with any person from your country (UK has a variety of people from the African continent as well as from Asia). Once you get to trace someone from your country then you can feel a bit more at ease so you don't feel lonely and lost here. and I am presently working as and RN in the Helsinki area, at the same time pursuing a Master's degree in Health Care Sciences. I am looking forward to a career in Nursing or Clinical Research not to forget the natural therapeutic healing of herbs and plants. I have a very soft spot for research development on finding a cure for many diseases such as: Alzheimer, Parkinson and Cancer among others. I feel a great sense of duty and responsibility towards the UN MDM 2015 (Millennium Development Goals) to Eradicate Extreme Poverty, Global Partnership for development, Combat HIV/AIDS, Malaria and other Diseases. I am a firm believer in caring for the environment for I think we need to save our planet especially for the future generation by being an advocate for environmental issues. I believe that natural catastrophes that have been growing in the last decade due to the effects of the greenhouse gas emission could be reduced; we all have to do our part.
