Does anyone happen to know anything about the field of nursing in Spain? Education, reputation, salary, relationship to women's movement, etc? Or any good links to this information? Also, for any of the Spaniard's on this board - do you have any good stories about the Spanish flu epidemic of 1918? Any recollections of your grandparents, etc? I am finishing up some research that I did in Spain this summer, and I figured the people on this board would be a valuable resource.Thanks!

Hi elfroggy27! Welcome to the group. Regarding nursing in Spain, have you seen the " Working as a nurse in Spain " thread in the "Working In Spain" forum? I just did a search for 'nursing' and that's what I found. Best of luck with your search! The sister of my ladyfriend is a nurse in Madrid and it's a difficult, competitive field and many of these positions are government jobs (can someone confirm this?), making it even more difficult, if not impossible to get for persons who are from outside Spain.

Saludos, MadridMan

I think I am right in saying that we in the UK have an influx on Spanish nurses over the last year because they are finding it difficult to get employment in Spain. I'm sure I have just read or heard that recently on the news.

Or maybe we are short on nurses and the pay is better over here or something?
