Thank you so much for this video. I’m a nurse and I’m planning moving to Lugano next year and this is so helpful for me ♥️🙏🏼
@@StelaTrifka you are very welcome. Glad it was useful
Nice last name !!!!! Yes - who is Swiss really 100% and then It used to be not long ago that people would not even identify as Swiss they would identify as their Canton. And from one can time to the other they would call other people from other cantons foreigners or Etranger in French. That sign still exists in Geneva. At the area where you go to register for your residency or if you return to the country they have a line for people from Geneva and people from Confederates or Etranger. Yes I have a EMTP certificate which more or less along with ACLS and ATLS allows me to do more of this almost anything that an emergency room physician or trauma position could do to stabilize the patient outside of the hospital. But as soon as you get inside the hospital sometimes we assist but most of the time we just transfer information and custody of the patient. My former girlfriend when I was younger she went on to become a super paramedic flight medic trauma nurse in the trauma One center and she can do things better than most doctors. and here they treat anyone who's not a medical doctor or up here in the German part and Artz. And, in some parts of the French part, the nurses are treated with very much disrespect and that is not the case in the United States for example or in some other countries like Malaysia even if you can believe that.... And then the Filipino nurses in Singapore run the show more or less because they are so sore after by the Singaporeans because they actually have a moral compass that's based in Christianity. So they have actual empathy and actual care for their patients. It's very strange I'm a lawyer and I have a medical background so I was able to become a member of the Geneva bar but it was by virtue of having done my stage in a Swiss law firm upon graduation from law school.
I went to the United States and was in graduate school and by nature I had nothing in common with other white people in America and I didn't try but all of my friends were scholarship students from Africa and Asia😅
Good luck with that case!!!
I was the only student in my graduate class in Massachusetts of all places in the North part of the United States who tested on a standardized test as being racially unbiased!

Such a good video! Congratulations on all of your accomplishments 😊
Thank you very much dear.
Hey Maureen, thank you so much for this video. It’s very informative. I’m an Australian trained ICU nurse with 4 years clinical experience and I’m contemplating the idea of working in Switzerland. Seems like a lot of work but doable. I’m about to watch other videos of yours as part of my research 😊
Hello Izabella. That's amazing. It's totally doable. Once you start the process everything flows.
Sis, please I need proof of accommodation for my visa
Hello, sorry I cannot offer this service.
Thank you Maureen for this uplifting video! I congratulate me for your clear view of racism globally, just telling you that myself (Swiss and white) have worked as an english teacher in Japan (Proficiency in english language) and for my white colour was made fun of in public space (a Japanese lady just couldn’t hold herselve and exploded with laughter always telling me I was an outcast for being white) and on a train I was even attacked by a Japanese man who took me by the neck and has thorn me off the seat also swearing at me to be an outcast as a white person and that I had to leave him the seat ! All this I understood as pure racism and was due to the fact that Japan had lost WW2 and was long occupied by the US. Nothing on my forehead shows that I am not even by the slightest american but Swiss! Therefore, having had a good education in history too, I didn’t even feel too upset about it. But I agree it totally hurts! Listening to your recount about the boy to visit his mom, I didn’t really understand why, being Swiss and eventually living in Switzerland, when taking the bus in order to get to Geneva, how come he had to cross a border?? What border? Did he live in France? You could eventually give me some more hints about it because this confused me! And what concerns the recognition of foreign universitie’s diplomas, that applies also to other nations, not only to African nations. And this has nothing to do with racism but with the fact that our nation has every right to get the absolutely best educated foreign workers because, and this could be interpreted as racism yet it isn’t, our citizens who have the same educational level have by their upbringing the better understanding of the social-work fabric. This applies specifically for the jurisdictional jobs. As you know Switzerland is a conglomerate of various european cultures, re our 4 national official languages, which already indicates the variety of social fabrics that are present in daily life. And our democracy is actually based on the fact that each Canton is very autonomous in legislation, often misunderstood by foreigners, the Cantons are more powerful in legislation than the federal government, which on many topics has only a certain weight. This feature is infact the today’s root of the healthcare problem we face right now! That means the global costs for healthcare are not evenly divided by Cantons, but superior costs have to be beared by the Cantons which do not enough work to contain the proliferation of healthcare costs. A little example is the Canton Ticino which has the highest coverage of farmacies pro capita!!! I counted the farmacies on only 1 street where I live and count 5 farmacies on a few 600 meters! This is why our Canton has the highest increase of the monthly rates for healthcare! And it’s no use to get angry with Mrs Baume-Schneider, as she has not enough power to do anything about this, it’s the Canton’s work to be done! As a conclusion I agree totally with you, people coming to our nation should get thoroughly informed about HOW it works here. In order to avoid upsetting situations. But I agree with you the French speaking job you applied for there was underneath racism! I’m sorry for that and want to uplift your spirits, this also happens to white peoples, maybe the character doesn’t suit. Who knows? Leaving you with a big hug 🤗
Thank you! You nailed it. ❤ greetings from the Canton of Freiburg. For me.. moving to this Canton… it was a culture shock!😮 very different… i am fluent in 4 languages. I grew up bilingual in the „Röstigraben“. Here in Freuburg… your french is not perfect… in certain job categories = no Job. your skincolor in this case - no criteria. I worked for an international company- candidates only speaking english have almost no chance. either you speak the language of the canton you are working in (High-german, is sufficient when seeking in the swissgerman area) plus other languages, or you’ll have no chance. No matter how high your degree is. Well… you nailed it. 🎉
@@labatti5914 yes indeed! When I came back home from Japan I got a job in Cressier! My boss once told me: if you cannot agree with my policies, I strongly recommend you to seek another job! And I was not even complaining but just talked about him in my office on how blockheaded he was: what I didn’t know then the devices called “intraphones” for communication between offices, he was able to access all of them and just listen to the conversations of the employees! Therefore he heard my complaints! 😡😳
Hello Francesca, thanks for your input on this matter. Really appreciate it. I am honestly shocked by the experiences you have in Japan. That is really sad. Concerning recognition of foreign qualifications, that is everywhere. Even in my home land, Kenya. Every country has a right to set the standards they want for their country. I have also stated this very clearly in my video that everyone should be prepared to go an extra mile when they move from their country to another country. The main issue is going through the whole process to achieve what is asked of you then you are still not enough. Please watch the video on the link. It has the story of the guy and also a lawyer who clearly states the discrimination present in the system. I will give you my personal example. As a nurse trained in Kenya, degree level, I did not have a problem going through the recognition process with the Swiss Red Cross. They mentioned that they will not accept my qualification as degree level, HES but as ES which I took in well. After spending over 10,000 CHF ( courses + unpaid 6 month internship costs) , they write to tell me that I am qualified to work in Switzerland but cannot use the title ES because I am not trained in Switzerland! I mean, I would have paid less than 2000 francs to do the whole study a fresh but I paid 10,000 CHF to be given a ''titleless'' qualification that many employers did not even want to look at. Lucky that my very first employer who knows my dedication retained me. I thought that my applications were being neglected because I was a Non-EU citizen, I therefore worked hard to get my EU citizenship. My applications went through but then came the comments of French not being my first language ( I am at a C1 level French), I did not study here so I will not understand the Swiss healthcare system...etc. I once had a recruiter who told me to go work in Nigeria where I studied ( I have never even been to Nigeria). My CV was too useless for him to read! All these I did not mention because the reason for this video was not to shed bad light on Switzerland but to make people aware of the possible challenges. The UN also made this clear. It has to be dealt with. People coming here who do not want to do anything and just get things fed to them also exist. However this video was not for this group of people. Lots of hugs to you too dear and hope that the situation in Japan gets better.🥰
@@labatti5914 I am glad that you are writing from your experience. Don't you think that other people also had other experiences? I want to assume that you are a coloured person because you mentioned that it has nothing to do with you being employed or not. Theoretically speaking, it doesn't, in reality it does. I am a living proof. I am not afraid of languages because I see you have written a lot about languages. I speak 5 languages and just starting on my German. French is my working language and I am at a C1 level sitting for my C2 exam next year. Thanks for your insight on this matter. Very much appreciated.
@@maureensunshine3185 🤗❤️ I totally agree with you one has to be able to go the extra miles when seeking work in another country! I also learned to be very sceptical about the informations I get from one side and learned to not only ask a second advice but also a third and more advices! And there you are spending so much money for courses and certificates only to understand they’re not recognised!! This is very upsetting and I understand your disappointment over this issue! Thankfully your employer understands your professionalism and recognises your workforce! All these so called misunderstandings are very common and sometimes I believe it’s just policy! And when life starts to get tough I recognise and appreciate your resilience! Never give up 🤗

@@maureensunshine3185 thanks
Thank you Maureen. How do I go about finding a vocational school for practical nursing? Also, language schools in Switzerland. I'd prefer a vocational nursing school with provision for language training too.
Hello. Before you apply for nursing school here you have to meet the language requirements. They do not mix language training with nursing. However, some hospitals offer language courses with focus to the medical field. This would be the best option for you. Are you looking into studying nursing or already have a degree in nursing? The nursing training in Switzerland is a bit different from Germany. Here you can train while working but only if you already have a lower nursing qualification or ASSC and would like to upgrade to nursing. Both have different durations and you have to find a hospital that will cater for the practicals as they teach you the theory bit. It’s a bit complicated and so I will make a clearer video on it.
