I had my two kids here in the US and I’ve never paid a dime. I had state insurance and my kids insurance cards were given to me right at the hospital. Till date, they’re still covered under the state insurance. My kids are 10 and 8.
That's your experience, the average out of pocket cost for those on a plan is about $3k and many pay way more than that. My sister surely had to pay when she had her children. People without insurance (& there are millions) have to pay up to $19k
Why the discrepancy in how the insurance works. I am trying to compare usa Canada and Uk and make my choice. So far I have gathered USA is highest paying but gun violence and having to pay heavily for healthcare even on insurance
@@dorawaje4427 That’s because the US doesn’t have universal healthcare like the UK and Canada. Here, the government is not in charge of the healthcare system so there are private insurance companies we pay our health insurance to who also pay for the health care services we receive at the hospital or when you see a doctor. Personally, I have never have to pay anything outside the insurance premiums I pay when I see my doctor. My kids and mom who live with me all have free insurance from my state. I pay for mine through my employer. So I guess everyone’s situation is different. In regards to the gun violence, you’re right the US has the highest.
I strongly doubt you didn’t pay a dime. Here in Ohio my friend went to give birth and she came out of pocket for about $5000 . Let’s stop deceiving people online as if America is a utopian country. We have our problems here many of them. The only advantage is that there are many job opportunities here compared to Ghana. That’s all there is to it.
I personally I work in UK I love working here if someone didn’t have good experience doesn’t mean everyone else is also going through the same I love UK especially my place very supportive from management I don’t think everybody is loving US Every place has challenges choose your challenge.
I think the most important thing is to be where God asks you to be. If God instructs a person to stay in the UK or even Ghana and they decide to go to America, they will not flourish. Therefore, @Joicel and @Nanelle, my advice is to steer people in the direction of God's leading though it's okay to share opportunities and challenges of different countries.
This isn’t an advice, this is telling people what and what not to do with their own space . Go and tell Mensah Otabil and Pastor Chris dems that.. n stop forcing things on people.. or better still you can make your own video of that and upload for your 17 subscribers.

I feel if nanelle was single and they hadn’t gotten a house, she would have moved. Also, it seems her hubby loves the UK, then men in general have the fear of starting over again. The nanelle I have been watching for over two years would choose the USA if she had her way. We love you both. It was nice watching you both
Joyce, it is nice to see you recording your videos from the USA 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿. The NHS lost an excellent nurse. I've learnt a lot from you😊. Thanks for sharing the information with us.
I’m a band 5 nurse I make £14.60 an hour with a nursing masters. To think that a CNA in America makes more than me yep, let’s just say I’m going to start to make the process to come America 😂
14.60 is funny 😄 putting the kind of stress you will go through by the side ! I worked as a customer service rep in Tesco- and made more than that an hour for my Sundays shift as a student oo ! The Uk is a scam 😂
Wow😢, the average nurse practitioner here in America makes at least $120k /yr. I have my our business as a nurse practitioner and let me tell you I make more than double the average NP in America.
You absolutely hit the head on the head, working in IT here in the UK for over 2 years my pay is about 30k pounds a year and while for the same job with a year of experience is offering about 65k pounds equivalent for starting , so you just can’t compare the UK with the USA
You are right. My husband is into IT. I used to work in the UK as a nurse while he worked in the US. Initially, he was tempted to move to the UK to come join me, but I insisted that he stayed while we (our son and I) join him. One of the reasons was because the pay both in Nursing and IT in both countries can't be compared with each other .
Great video. I'm not a nurse so I'm not sure why I'm here. God bless all the nurses out there for all you do. It goes without saying that US pays better. A classic capitalist country where profit making is the goal in every industry whereas the UK adopts a more socialist approach in some sectors, though they're also trying to privatise lots of things now. So yes, when it comes to pay in almost every area, it's clear that US>UK but when it comes to other benefits such as annual leave, maternity leave, sick leave, etc UK>US. They're both beautiful countries! And considering that most us are from developing countries, either option is still a step up.
I know someone that lives in Germany and when he travelled to USA to see if he can move there he said he can't live there with his family.. It's a matter of choice and why you want to relocate...
Thank you so much for your honest truth, coz even me after watching that video from Nanelle i was totally confused of which country to choose i'm a RN and I'm interested in coming there as HCA and later on write my NCLEX from there because i don't have a financial muscle to do NCLEX whilst im still in Africa which Agency can i use.
Lol, i Jut watched the same video and mad this comment below "Good points made, you can also have a side hustle in the US and even make more because you only work 3 days/week and one 4-day week in a month. By the way, not all nurses get paid biweekly in the US, depending on your union. As a new grad nurse in NY, I get paid every week and make 6 figures ( over 100k$ with no overtime), then I still have my other side hustle and decide to pick up OT when I feel like it. With security issues, I think you nailed it. Nowhere is totally safe, we also hear about gangs and knife violence in the UK though in the US gun violence is a big thing, and that majorly depends on where you live like you said. Every state/city has its own predominantly safe areas, just know about your zip code. People sometimes look for cheap neighborhoods to live in and complain about crime. what do you expect?? One of my friends recently came in from the UK, had a nice/safe time in every state he visited and on his last two days decided to rent a cheap Airbnb in Newark, NJ because his flight was taking off to the UK from Newark. I picked him up at NY airport, hung out and he told me he rented an Airbnb in Newark. I told him to give me the address and after I looked it up, I straight told him he rented an Airbnb in the hood and should have let me know before doing that. He was like how do I know the area is not a good area. Long story short, I went to drop him off there that night. The next building's neighbors were all smoking weed heavily outside lol. I took him to the grocery to get all he needed and told him to just stay indoors all night till the next morning he was going to the airport. The next morning he called me screaming there were gunshots fired on his street and cops were everywhere with the roads blocked on his way to the airport, He was like I am traumatized and I just want to get back to the UK then I was like I told you."
The sad thing is we Africans mostly equate higher income to better living standard and life. I wanted so bad to relocate to the US in the past till I started seeing the differences between US and where I am in Europe. Even if you gave me a million dollars I can never live in the USA. My relatives in the US have very bad Govt support compared to UK. Healthcare, job security-joblessness, housing support with bad health etc. The insecurity in the US is bad, you never know where a shoot out will occur. You drop your kids at school in the US with a fear. American veterans from the Vietnam war are on the road begging for money. It’s all capitalism on drugs in the USA no provision for the poor.
Just passed my nclex please assist with your agency if they employ dialysis nurse with 2years experience in acute dialysis and 5 years experience in general nursing.
You see that waiting for ILR?? It’s the biggest scam ever especially when you know deep down you will still leave the UK🤣🤣 I left after 4years immediately I got my Australia PR. Like you said waiting for two more years in the Uk( to wait for my ILR and British citizenship) is two years wasted for me to get my Australia citizenship lol I’ll pass. Nice video!
Everything she said is nothing but the truth…. There’s no comparison the US is like 40 of the UK and 96.6 % of the entire Europe so it’s an insult comparing UK to the US. The opportunities here in the US are way more leaving a state to another state here is like leaving UK to France or spain. So if you’re not comfortable with a state try another.
I am from the US and I am agreeing about the states. Each state is different in small ways and large. Do your research about cost of living, laws and rules are different from state to state, taxes etc. School systems are different, and often are strongly influenced by politics. The same with health systems and health insurance. Also with social services, and climate. But the speaker is correct, think of each state as a different country. The Federal Government in Washington DC has laws binding for the whole country. But State laws are only binding for each state. Then each county within the state. Well welcome to the US. I suppose most people who immigrate, especially if they come alone with no family support do have stressful time. The more family, friends, church, and other organizations you belong to the more serene and secure you are likely to feel. The other ridiculous aspect of the US is people will say they are against immigrants but will also say the immigrants they actually know they like very much.
It is the PIN aspect that off me the most, first day in nursing school in the Uk, they are telling us not to lose our PIN before we get it 😂😂😂😂. If I want to do anything in placement that’s what I do remember if the thing go wrong😂😂😂😂. So crazy
Thank you, my dear, i was surprised when she said that the band 9 salary, which is after many years of hard work in the UK, and was comparing it with an entry level salary in USA is hilarious
Has Nanelle practised in the US before?NO! Joicel has practised in both the UK and currently practicing in the US and has a more unbiased view of it all. As my people will say follow who know road. Nanelle cannot make a fair comparism when she only practices in the UK, and Joicel who has both experiences is who has a more objective analysis. Thank you for this video. That you have one year to get your ILR, does mean you should mislead others to believing you
😭😭😭😭. I love our nannele she didn't lie 😭. Ok. Let me reach the end of the video. Ok. At the end of the video. I am convinced now. Lets go fo USA 😅. Thank you for the updates and clarifications. You earned a subscriber and a like thank nannelle for that 😊
No offence. I have an Australian colleague whose wife is American and now they are working and settled in the UK. These are not immigrants we are talking about. Both nurses by the way. What he has said about the US was "work is the identity" and there is no work-life balance. When it comes to work culture the pressure is high when compared to European culture. Therefore he prefers the laid back life in the UK. So it mainly depends what people want in their lives. He also added that even though the pay is high, the expenses are way higher in the US when compared to the UK. Just the houses and cars are cheaper it seems. I was intrigued and I was asking for the reason for his choice and there I had it. He was talking about the opportunities to travelling to other European countries on vacations, the AL and sickness leave etc.
Your friend told you a lie. I live here in the US. I have a life 😂. Very good life. Party after party 🎉. I work 12hr shift: 3 days in week 1 and 2 days in week 2. I work every 3rd weekend in a month. So That's makes me work 5 days in totals in 14 days(pay period), leaving me with 9 days free to my life. When i don't work weekend I work Week 1 Mon & Tue then in week 2 i work Mon, Tue, and Wed. The pay period when I work my weekend, i get 9 days off consecutively...for example, week 1 i work Mon&Tue, then week 2 i work Fri,Sat, sun. You see, I have Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat, Sun, Mon, Tue, wed & Thu off. We literally don't want to ask for vacation hours. You can just schedule your vacation on your 9-day off calendar. Vacation off are there you can ask and get. Our state is that we have a union... great and better benefits with very high pay. The patient ratio is the best depending if it is ICU/Tele, step-down, OR, pre-op, medsurg or psych unit etc, also depends on whether it is day shift or night shift. Work/job description for nurses is less too. If I have to write about the benefits, the list will never end. Please, people tell the truth, not the hearsay!
@@Lando-kx6so and that's I keep saying US is 50 states and so many cities that differ a lot. Please people to stop generalizing. I was answering to that Australian nurse with a friend who moved to UK who stated that in US there is no family time...blah blah whatever she said. It was her...all you need to do is move states? Or move cities? And you definitely get whatever u need.
The only thing what l don't like USA is crime rate, and to raise your children in USA l don't think its safe.racism etc. In U.K salaries for nurses its a disgrace.
There is depending where you have trained. I moved from the uk to the USA in March of this year and did a 6 months ABSN top up, transferred 90% of my modules from my uk nursing degree to the USA and currently working as a new grad nurse in the USA without having to go through the CGFNS verification
Hi Joicel, great analysis! My wife is also a nurse in the UK, can you advise on how to go about the whole process to move to the UK. Especially how to get employment directly by an hospital as against agencies. Thank you
Hi, you are doing a great job educating us on these issues. But I would like to know if a person with diploma in community health from Ghana manages to enter into the US through a spousal H4 visa, can the person take the license exams there and become a registered nurse?
Thank you very much for the video. Please I want to know how to get resident permit, I mean green card. Because I want to come and study my master's program on supply chain management.
Our Nanelle spills it as it is 🥰🥰. We love you momma❤️. Thank you Joicel you are also correct 👍 we will take your advice ma'am.I'm subscribing right away 🥰🥰
USA is certainly good for the money but Holidays, marternity leaves & raising small children UK is better. You both have good reasons to feel the way you feel. I did not like the USA. I like the Hauses, cars & space but public transport is a mess, fresh food expensive but finish product cheap.
Spot on. We can barely get a month of vacation. I took a month vacation to Ghana , came back and my coworkers started looking at me funny. Hmmm this America 🇺🇸 na work dey kill us ooooo
Hey Joicel, thank you for these analysis, to me I see it to be great and timely motivations to get most of us thinking and comparing what can work best for us while we keep the pledge of caring for those in our care. Many thanks on that, I will be glad if you could add opportunities about midwives in the USA as that's my field and don't really know where to start from as the internet has a lot of information. I must say I'm enjoying your contents already although today is my first day seeing your videos and I have subscribed already.
School system you don’t have to pay till your child it 16 years just like UK Leaves- you don’t get long annual leaves and maternity leaves You get 8 weeks annual leave in a year but you have to work in ahead to get it so you accumulate it as you work and spend it.
@@joicelsarpong Pre-K (4yo) to 12th grade is considered public education and is free. Depending upon when you started school and your state, you can be anywhere from 16 to 18 years old when you graduate high school.
This is interesting that we are comparing a nation that has 50 states and 5 territories. Vs a small island in the Europe. Having lived in the US for 19 years, I can say it was far easier to make it a regardless of whether or not you’re in the healthcare system. Post 9/11 it has become very difficult to obtain a green card if you are in an area that isn’t health related. If you’re not in the health fields, just be prepared to work and wait years for your green card. If marriage isn’t the route that you want. In short both countries have their flaws and benefits one may be a better fit for you and your family. And the benefits you talk about are for workers not international students. I can go on and on by in short it’s possible to make it in America but if it is not via health care be ready to work and wait years for your papers in the U.S.
After watching this and nanell’s video I think people have different choices what I prefer or love maybe someone else does not like in this UK USA AUSTRALIA Journey people are moving from UK to US and vice versa we have two nurses in our ICU who moved from US and love working in UK 🇬🇧 I saw someone moved from US and back to Kenya everyone has there own opinion
A nurse from the US can’t move to UK it’s a typical lie ……. I see the luxury and benefits US nurse have which I don’t see in UK , most nurses in NHS can’t even afford to buy 2020 Range Rover cash …. While nurses in US are living in bervely hills and sienna plantation Texas ….. I love luxury , and nobody who doesn’t love luxury even the royal family
Just be real, any nurse u will see moved from US to UK is bcus he or she don't have papers and not a registered nurse in US but will pretend... All that we are saying is if it comes to money and opportunities, USA is the best so stop pretending like they are same cus it's a way different gap.. most people are leaving UK to US but I haven't see any person or a friend US to UK
It's not about people matter dear, it's about majority in which majority of UK are leaving to US for money Only 1 or 2 will move to UK for reasons like have to follow family but people go to USA for money and opportunities
Ehh there really isn't a right or wrong answer. It all comes down to what you want & what you're looking for. I was born & raised in the US & left for the UK & you couldn't pay me to ever live there no matter what state
@@odorpascal8302I like your comment 😮.. for all you know they are talking just out of jealousy but don't even know US... us don't need them to continue to be super power
I thought you had points until I realised you left out the most important thing. YOUR DISPOSABLE INCOME! What is the point if you are paid a whole lot but can't save anything? So please let us understand that aspect as well. Thank you very much.
@@samuelfrempong2043 I live in Maryland. I can't understand the categories of nurses you speak of. In the US a Licensed Practical Nurse LPN, then Registered Nurse RN, then Nurse Practitioner. Those are the ones I know. But my point is you can attend a Community College in Maryland and get an RN degree/certificate in 2 years, if you already have basic college /university prerequisites. Nursing jobs are plentiful. A quick look at pay for RN 's in Maryland hospitals is about $44.00 per hour.
I’ll be writing my NCLEX next month, you have any tips for me and again I’m hearing stuffs like it will take like a year to gain a visa after passing the NCLEX. I’m from Ghana by the way
I know it is not related to this video, but I was wondering if you could do video on UK Midwives wanting to move to the USA. I’ve seen a few videos that say that if you have a BSC in midwifery then you can work as a nurse in certain states. But I was doing some research and in the states they do have CM’s so that means that you can work as a midwife without a nursing degree first but I would like to know how it works.
This is very interesting but I would like to know if it’s possible for a social worker in the uk to move to the USA . Will u still get a green card as you arrive.
Hi Joyce, Thank you for this clarification video and for discussing my comment on Nannelle's page. I have always loved her videos and had followed her for a long while, but that particular video hit differently because she was so not right. I was a bit upset with her😅 but I chose to attribute it to the fact that Nannelle would love to move to the USA, but might be super scared of taking the NCLEX! Her fans shouldn't come for me oo😂😂😂. You didn't have to, but your apology on Nannelles' behalf is well accepted 😂. You just gained one more subscrber❤. God bless America 🇺🇸 and bless us all.

@@joicelsarpong you're right. But I've been here for 8 years and still a permanent resident. Not a citizen yet because... I can't afford the fees! 😩 I'm with my family
For starters, US is very difficult if you don’t have a green card or proper immigration papers. The US also has it’s own problems just like any another country. Everyone has a different experience, it depends on who you talk to.
I absolutely agree But I was referring to nurses who if they go to the USA to work they get their green card on arrival. So yes they become starters but they don’t struggle like other places where they have to work for 6 years to get permanent residency
@@brendafrancis894This comment is interesting. You think everyone in the US don’t have healthcare? Hahahaha don’t believe everything you hear on the internet. Even my mom who hasn’t ever worked here has a full free insurance from the states and we pay nothing to see the doctor. They call every week to check on her sugar levels also.
Good for you and your mom! So glad that your both well. That you get and can afford the insurance. As long as your ok then! You go get them coins. Oh and I have lived in the USA and I don't live in the UK! Why do we feel you need to go to either country to make it and live comfortably. Kudos to you though!
@@brendafrancis894even within your country, some cities have opportunities over others so just understand and keep quiet cus the world it's not fair unfortunately
I have an aunt that has been in the US since the early 90’s she is a nurse. She is now very poorly in health and had to stop work, she didn’t even get disability allowance for more than a year. Her mortgage and bills she was suffering. Mind you she got sick while at work and had to be airlifted. US will use the best years of your life better start saving up for your latter years dear. It’s all lovely cause you are new there.

I told him to give me the address and after I looked it up, I straight told him he rented an Airbnb in the hood and should have let me know before doing that. He was like how do I know the area is not a good area. Long story short, I went to drop him off there that night. The next building's neighbors were all smoking weed heavily outside lol. I took him to the grocery to get all he needed and told him to just stay indoors all night till the next morning he was going to the airport. The next morning he called me screaming there were gunshots fired on his street and cops were everywhere with the roads blocked on his way to the airport, He was like I am traumatized and I just want to get back to the UK then I was like I told you."
Omg you took the word from my mouth. Great job.
The sad thing is we Africans mostly equate higher income to better living standard and life. I wanted so bad to relocate to the US in the past till I started seeing the differences between US and where I am in Europe. Even if you gave me a million dollars I can never live in the USA. My relatives in the US have very bad Govt support compared to UK. Healthcare, job security-joblessness, housing support with bad health etc. The insecurity in the US is bad, you never know where a shoot out will occur. You drop your kids at school in the US with a fear. American veterans from the Vietnam war are on the road begging for money. It’s all capitalism on drugs in the USA no provision for the poor.
I guess is only you that equate higher income to better living standards. Let’s learn to speak for ourselves and also not take things out of context.

I just love this video Joicelle 😘😘😘😘
Everything she said is nothing but the truth…. There’s no comparison the US is like 40 of the UK and 96.6 % of the entire Europe so it’s an insult comparing UK to the US. The opportunities here in the US are way more leaving a state to another state here is like leaving UK to France or spain. So if you’re not comfortable with a state try another.
My dear , your analysis is dope. We like you
I am from the US and I am agreeing about the states. Each state is different in small ways and large. Do your research about cost of living, laws and rules are different from state to state, taxes etc. School systems are different, and often are strongly influenced by politics. The same with health systems and health insurance. Also with social services, and climate. But the speaker is correct, think of each state as a different country.
The Federal Government in Washington DC has laws binding for the whole country. But State laws are only binding for each state. Then each county within the state.
Well welcome to the US. I suppose most people who immigrate, especially if they come alone with no family support do have stressful time. The more family, friends, church, and other organizations you belong to the more serene and secure you are likely to feel.
The other ridiculous aspect of the US is people will say they are against immigrants but will also say the immigrants they actually know they like very much.
@joicelsarpong if you in the UK have wasted time, what about us still in GH? Wasted yearssssss oooooh....😅
You are totally right. 100% agreed.
It is the PIN aspect that off me the most, first day in nursing school in the Uk, they are telling us not to lose our PIN before we get it 😂😂😂😂. If I want to do anything in placement that’s what I do remember if the thing go wrong😂😂😂😂. So crazy
🤣🤣😂🤣🤣😂😂🤣
😅
Just what I needed. Thank you, dear. Please recommend any NCLEX materials.
Thank you, my dear, i was surprised when she said that the band 9 salary, which is after many years of hard work in the UK, and was comparing it with an entry level salary in USA is hilarious
🤣😂🤣😂
Exactly, I called nanelles attention to that, your band 8a in the UK is entry level role in the USA
Has Nanelle practised in the US before?NO! Joicel has practised in both the UK and currently practicing in the US and has a more unbiased view of it all. As my people will say follow who know road. Nanelle cannot make a fair comparism when she only practices in the UK, and Joicel who has both experiences is who has a more objective analysis. Thank you for this video. That you have one year to get your ILR, does mean you should mislead others to believing you
Eeeeeiiii 😂

No offence. I have an Australian colleague whose wife is American and now they are working and settled in the UK. These are not immigrants we are talking about. Both nurses by the way. What he has said about the US was "work is the identity" and there is no work-life balance. When it comes to work culture the pressure is high when compared to European culture. Therefore he prefers the laid back life in the UK. So it mainly depends what people want in their lives. He also added that even though the pay is high, the expenses are way higher in the US when compared to the UK. Just the houses and cars are cheaper it seems. I was intrigued and I was asking for the reason for his choice and there I had it. He was talking about the opportunities to travelling to other European countries on vacations, the AL and sickness leave etc.
True oohh. Every one has their view
Your friend told you a lie. I live here in the US. I have a life 😂. Very good life. Party after party 🎉. I work 12hr shift: 3 days in week 1 and 2 days in week 2. I work every 3rd weekend in a month. So That's makes me work 5 days in totals in 14 days(pay period), leaving me with 9 days free to my life. When i don't work weekend I work Week 1 Mon & Tue then in week 2 i work Mon, Tue, and Wed. The pay period when I work my weekend, i get 9 days off consecutively...for example, week 1 i work Mon&Tue, then week 2 i work Fri,Sat, sun. You see, I have Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat, Sun, Mon, Tue, wed & Thu off. We literally don't want to ask for vacation hours. You can just schedule your vacation on your 9-day off calendar. Vacation off are there you can ask and get. Our state is that we have a union... great and better benefits with very high pay. The patient ratio is the best depending if it is ICU/Tele, step-down, OR, pre-op, medsurg or psych unit etc, also depends on whether it is day shift or night shift. Work/job description for nurses is less too. If I have to write about the benefits, the list will never end. Please, people tell the truth, not the hearsay!
@@Skin4839 that's you not the case for most people
@@Lando-kx6so and that's I keep saying US is 50 states and so many cities that differ a lot. Please people to stop generalizing. I was answering to that Australian nurse with a friend who moved to UK who stated that in US there is no family time...blah blah whatever she said. It was her...all you need to do is move states? Or move cities? And you definitely get whatever u need.

There should be a direct faster way of moving from the UK to the US as a nurse without going through the CGFNS verification and all that
There is depending where you have trained. I moved from the uk to the USA in March of this year and did a 6 months ABSN top up, transferred 90% of my modules from my uk nursing degree to the USA and currently working as a new grad nurse in the USA without having to go through the CGFNS verification
What can I do if I trained in Nigeria (degree in nursing) but now licensed and practicing in the UK please?

Hi, you are doing a great job educating us on these issues. But I would like to know if a person with diploma in community health from Ghana manages to enter into the US through a spousal H4 visa, can the person take the license exams there and become a registered nurse?

Once they have a nurse license minimum of a diploma yes they can apply

USA is certainly good for the money but Holidays, marternity leaves & raising small children UK is better. You both have good reasons to feel the way you feel.
I did not like the USA. I like the Hauses, cars & space but public transport is a mess, fresh food expensive but finish product cheap.
Spot on. We can barely get a month of vacation. I took a month vacation to Ghana , came back and my coworkers started looking at me funny. Hmmm this America 🇺🇸 na work dey kill us ooooo
Is there any opportunity for direct entry midwife jobs at hospitals in the 🇺🇸
Hey Joicel, thank you for these analysis, to me I see it to be great and timely motivations to get most of us thinking and comparing what can work best for us while we keep the pledge of caring for those in our care. Many thanks on that, I will be glad if you could add opportunities about midwives in the USA as that's my field and don't really know where to start from as the internet has a lot of information.

I know nurses in USA are paid over $USD 90 000 per year here in U.K is penuts:
Hi Joice, what about school for children, do we have to pay? And work/life balance? leaves?
School system you don’t have to pay till your child it 16 years just like UK
Leaves- you don’t get long annual leaves and maternity leaves
You get 8 weeks annual leave in a year but you have to work in ahead to get it so you accumulate it as you work and spend it.
@@joicelsarpong Pre-K (4yo) to 12th grade is considered public education and is free. Depending upon when you started school and your state, you can be anywhere from 16 to 18 years old when you graduate high school.
@@joicelsarpongJociel what state are you in the USA. Cause I don’t get these in my state . I think I need to move 😅
This is interesting that we are comparing a nation that has 50 states and 5 territories. Vs a small island in the Europe. Having lived in the US for 19 years, I can say it was far easier to make it a regardless of whether or not you’re in the healthcare system. Post 9/11 it has become very difficult to obtain a green card if you are in an area that isn’t health related. If you’re not in the health fields, just be prepared to work and wait years for your green card. If marriage isn’t the route that you want. In short both countries have their flaws and benefits one may be a better fit for you and your family. And the benefits you talk about are for workers not international students. I can go on and on by in short it’s possible to make it in America but if it is not via health care be ready to work and wait years for your papers in the U.S.
Thank you for your input. But yes I was talking about benefits for health workers
Please what direct hire agency did you use?

I stumbled on this video while I was at the crossroad! Thanks so much sister for this! The UK work is almost like sla***
That’s sooo true .
After watching this and nanell’s video I think people have different choices what I prefer or love maybe someone else does not like in this UK USA AUSTRALIA Journey people are moving from UK to US and vice versa we have two nurses in our ICU who moved from US and love working in UK 🇬🇧 I saw someone moved from US and back to Kenya everyone has there own opinion
A nurse from the US can’t move to UK it’s a typical lie ……. I see the luxury and benefits US nurse have which I don’t see in UK , most nurses in NHS can’t even afford to buy 2020 Range Rover cash …. While nurses in US are living in bervely hills and sienna plantation Texas ….. I love luxury , and nobody who doesn’t love luxury even the royal family
Just be real, any nurse u will see moved from US to UK is bcus he or she don't have papers and not a registered nurse in US but will pretend...
All that we are saying is if it comes to money and opportunities, USA is the best so stop pretending like they are same cus it's a way different gap.. most people are leaving UK to US but I haven't see any person or a friend US to UK
It's not about people matter dear, it's about majority in which majority of UK are leaving to US for money
Only 1 or 2 will move to UK for reasons like have to follow family but people go to USA for money and opportunities
Why am i just seeing this???uuugghhh i would have listened
Ehh there really isn't a right or wrong answer. It all comes down to what you want & what you're looking for. I was born & raised in the US & left for the UK & you couldn't pay me to ever live there no matter what state
I was born and raised in America but I want to the UK in 2-3 more years
America don’t need you either ….. they have important things to focus on , been a world power is a job itself,
@@odorpascal8302I like your comment 😮.. for all you know they are talking just out of jealousy but don't even know US... us don't need them to continue to be super power

She talked about that before that she had over $5500 after tax and everything per month and she made less than half in UK
@@samuelfrempong2043 I live in Maryland. I can't understand the categories of nurses you speak of. In the US a Licensed Practical Nurse LPN, then Registered Nurse RN, then Nurse Practitioner. Those are the ones I know.
But my point is you can attend a Community College in Maryland and get an RN degree/certificate in 2 years, if you already have basic college /university prerequisites. Nursing jobs are plentiful. A quick look at pay for RN 's in Maryland hospitals is about $44.00 per hour.
Please I don't have nursing certificate, I got HND in Community Health in Nigeria, can I get work in US with that?
Well its easier as a nurse
Is it possible to go to the USA for work immediately after graduation as a nurse from the Uk? Provided on passes Nclex?

Yhhh dear
Solve lots and lots of questions
I know it is not related to this video, but I was wondering if you could do video on UK Midwives wanting to move to the USA. I’ve seen a few videos that say that if you have a BSC in midwifery then you can work as a nurse in certain states. But I was doing some research and in the states they do have CM’s so that means that you can work as a midwife without a nursing degree first but I would like to know how it works.
I have been looking massively into , will bring it to you

I have always loved her videos and had followed her for a long while, but that particular video hit differently because she was so not right.

For starters, US is very difficult if you don’t have a green card or proper immigration papers. The US also has it’s own problems just like any another country. Everyone has a different experience, it depends on who you talk to.

But I was referring to nurses who if they go to the USA to work they get their green card on arrival. So yes they become starters but they don’t struggle like other places where they have to work for 6 years to get permanent residency
