Best Jobs to apply for in France for british moving to the North?
My girlfriend and I are planning to move to Northern France in a couple of years when she has finished UNI. She is a student nurse. Im at current a PCSO and have been for 6 years. At present we both speak basic french but are going to try and learn more before we move. I only have a GNVQ in travel and tourism from 8 years ago. Can anyone recommend any jobs we should look for and if her nursing is recognised in france.

GNVQ in travel and tourism!!! Interesting, send us a private message and a CV. What part of Northern France are you looking at?
@ny: Have a horrible feeling your answer in rather inaccurate. We have many doctors and nurses working here that qualified overseas.
no, medical degrees of any sort never travel, that is, if you got yours in UK, it’s valid in UK only and nowhere else, if you have a Canadian medical diploma – it’s valid only in Canada, and so on. If
she wants her degree to be recognised in France, she will have to undergo a lengthy test, examinations, and so on, and you can fail at the end, and people told me, that it was easier and cheaper just to get enrol into a medical school and do it all over again. So, if you want to move to France for good, she is wasting her time. Unless you plan to return back home some time in the future, then, again, she will be disqualified for not being in active practise, so she would have to undergo a test in UK… and so on.
You did not tell us, too, if two years were only studies, or some practical time was allotted to this time frame, because, a nurse with a foreign diploma and no experience is a nobody. If she has some references from some hospital or such, she might hope for a mother’s assistant with a medical background, and earn some little euros, or a private caregiver (non-official, not a nurse but rather a helper to the elderly) for some old bedridden person and, too, earn little euros. Her education is useless anywhere abroad.
