Iris and Hudan
2 Canadian nurses practicing in the states. The podcast is about what motivated us to work in US, the process of getting a job here and our experiences thus far.
It is not for the faint in heart to move to the US! This episode, Hudan and I talk about what resources we used to start our journey and the hoops we went through to get here. We grew up in cities and landed in rural communities for our first job in the US. Leaving the big city to launch our career was worth it and we hope our listeners will enjoy hearing why we thought so! Join us, comment what you want to know, like and subscribe for more content!
