<\/a>The journal was also attended by the recruitment officer at Global Working Jobs, David Vinaches, who recruits nurses to work in Norway. Vinaches gave the students certain recommendations for passing the selection process, in particular that they need to demonstrate emotional maturity, motivation regarding acquiring professional experience, open-mindedness and a desire for new experiences. He also explained the working conditions attached to the various job offers, which are \u00a0very different from those found in Spain: nurses in Norway have a 35.5-hour working week, a permanent contract, a gross annual salary of \u20ac50,000 a year and an average ratio of 8 to 10 patients per nurse, among other benefits. In fact, four former URV students are currently in Norway working as nurses.<\/p>\n Going abroad, however, is not the first or the only option available to nursing graduates. In fact, Anna Sort and Meritxell Flavi\u00e0 both told students about how they decided to become nurses outside the sector. Anna Sort was a nurse at the gaming company Blizzard Entertainment in France, when an experience with a colleague made it clear to her that health education needed to be taught through games. She therefore trained in ITC to become an expert in the \u2018gaming\u2019 of health education. She is currently head of her own company, PlayBenefit, which currently has an application for improving health, Benergy<\/a>,<\/u> in the beta phase of development. Sort regards herself as a \u201cdigital nurse\u201d and believes that nurses have the necessary skills to create content for health prevention and education: \u201cWe are highly creative because we have been trained to see not only a patient, but also the family behind that person, their background, what will happen when the patient goes home, and so on \u2026 We are expert health designers\u201d.<\/p>\n Meritxell Flavi\u00e0 was working as a surgical nurse at the Vall d\u2019Hebron Hospital when she decided on a change of career to have more free time. Consequently she contacted the medical services and technology company Medtronics, where she is now head of diabetes education. The company sells a pump that automatically administers insulin to diabetes patients 24 hours a day via a subcutaneous catheter, as an alternative to multiple doses with a syringe.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/a>
