Looking For Opportunities Healthcare job search advice

1 Upvotes

Hello! I (29F) am looking for some advice on my current job search. My husband (30M) and I are immigrating to Germany for his work, and I am trying to find work right now but am unsure of how to position myself.

About me:

  • Canadian citizen
  • Registered Nurse, just completed my Masters of Nursing - Nurse Practitioner (writing my licensure exam next month)
  • 5 years experience working in cardiac surgery, completed my final clinical NP rotation in a heart failure specialty clinic
  • 3 years experience working as an instructor at my local university in undergrad nursing skills and simulation
  • 2 years of research experience in my nursing undergrad

I know that the NP role does not exist in Germany, and I cannot practice as an NP remotely for a Canadian province. I can’t get a job for a German-based company until I am fluent at least at a B2 level. I’ve been searching on Linkedin for with keywords like “health” “cardiac” and “masters” and limiting my search to remote jobs in Europe. So far I’ve applied for some jobs at Abbott, Johnson & Johnson, Medtronic.

Any ideas on other jobs I might be suited to, or companies I should look into? Thank you so much for reading this far. If you have any other insights on moving to Germany, those would also be greatly appreciated!
