Typically non-europeans aren’t allowed to work in Europe except for teaching english. I’ve heard the medical field is an exception. In the past, I’ve emailed European Parliament but I didn’t get a response. Try travel-nurse agencies.

Landstuhl Regional Medical Center (near Kaiserslautern) is the largest American hospital outside of the United States and one of the premier military hospitals in the world. I’m sure the DoD hires a bunch of nurses there. Otherwise, the German government will require you to have an adequate income and health insurance should you stay more than 3 months. I’m sure if you poke around you can get help from a headhunter. Skilled workers, even non EU members are still in demand in Germany.

Actually, the DOD hires very few nurses outside the US that aren’t the spouses of active duty military personnel stationed in the area.

Thanks for the info! It gave me somewhere to dig deeper!

nlo88, have you considered just sending out your resume (or curriculum vitae as it’s caled in Europe) to German hospitals and clinics? If they can’t find any EU nationals to take the job, then employers will often times do all the necessary work to bring in skilled workers from abroad (helping you with your work visa, and all that stuff). Try to get in touch with some hospitals and clinics in Germany, and Austria too if you’re interested.
