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

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

Personally, as a fellow Jewish leftist I’d advise against moving to Israel. If you think politics are toxic here (maybe I’m reading into what you mean by things driving you insane), Israel is much worse. I’m not sure which countries have the easiest visa process but you probably have some flexibility as an RN. You could look into a travel nurse job that lets you move across Europe and try a few different places out.

By driving me insane, I was in fact referring to the rightward drift of the US. And I don’t just mean Trump, but the entire GOP and the fact the only opposition to them is the limp centrist Democratic Party. So yeah, Israel is probably much worse post 10/7.

Europe would be cool, Germany especially though I’ve heard its less safe now.

In Germany nurses are often not well payd IMO, but there are different kinds of nurses, so idk… there are strikes in the news from time to time. … but at least it’s okay and well accepted to strike in Germany

Yeah but I guess I’d be concerned a bit about the rise of antisemitism there Ive heard about

In Germany? You'll be fine, they're very aware of the threat of antisemitism but it's not any worse than elsewhere.

Now, whether German culture is enjoyable is another question.

Liking one of humanity’s oldest and most commonly drank beverages does not make you German, no
