Rules (interactive)

That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

Check out Switzerland. Huge private healthcare network, expensive country but the salary is high too. Excellent public transport, good social protection... And magnificent landscapes, smack in the middle of Europe you have access to everywhere. You'll have to learn French or German tho. It can be a bit quiet, but very very safe. Traditional food is meh, especially if you're not a fan of melted cheese by the bucket.
Hard to get into as a foreigner, though. Best bet to get in would be through the various international orgs like the red cross or MSF

Switzerland intentionally makes things hard for Americans. For example, it's very hard to open a bank account because the US government have harsh reporting rules for American citizens. And Switzerland has strong financial privacy rules. So they just deny American citizens.
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.
