Let's break down how the scorecard works to help you better understand how to move abroad safely and strategically!
1. Comprehensive Assessment:
The scorecard begins by guiding you through a comprehensive assessment, comprising various aspects crucial to your international nursing journey. This assessment covers key areas such as international moving planning, job searching, cultural shock and adaptation, career advancement, and well-being
2. Personalized Questions:
For each category, you'll find a set of personalized questions designed to prompt thoughtful reflection on your readiness and strategic planning. These questions are tailored to help you evaluate your current status and identify areas that may need further attention.
3. Scoring System:
Upon answering the questions, you'll assign yourself a score based on a predefined scale. This scoring system helps quantify your preparedness and strategic approach in each category. The goal is to provide a clear, measurable snapshot of your readiness for an international nursing career.
4. Identifying Strengths and Areas for Improvement:
As you progress through the scorecard, you'll not only accumulate scores but also gain insights into your strengths and areas that may require more attention. This self-awareness is a powerful tool for making informed decisions about your international move.
5. Actionable Recommendations:
The scorecard doesn't stop at assessment. It provides actionable recommendations based on your scores. These recommendations serve as a practical guide, offering insights into specific steps you can take to enhance your preparations, boost your readiness, and ensure a successful transition abroad.
6. Holistic Approach:
By covering various dimensions of the international nursing experience, the scorecard takes a holistic approach. It considers not only the logistical aspects of moving but also your well-being, cultural adaptation, career growth, and workplace adaptation, ensuring a well-rounded and successful journey.
7. Goal-Oriented Planning:
Ultimately, the scorecard is a tool for goal-oriented planning. It empowers you to set objectives, track progress, and make informed decisions, guiding you toward a successful and fulfilling nursing career abroad.
In essence, the scorecard is your personal compass, helping you navigate the complexities of an international move strategically and ensuring that you are well-prepared for the exciting challenges and opportunities that lie ahead in your global nursing career.

With 20 years of international experience in emergency, critical care, and management, I am the founder and owner of Nurses Move, a International Career Coaching Firm for Nurses. I have worked in Italy for 12 years and I worked also for the US Embassy, before moving to the UK in 2015 to work as an ICU Cardiothoracic Nurse in St Bartholomew's Hospital at BARTS Health NHS Trust, the largest heart center in the country and in Europe.
I have been an active part on research projects for which I received, with my team, the award as “Best Cardiac Team in UK 2021” from the SCTS.
As an expat nurse myself, since 2015 I have helped other nurses to move abroad safely strategically and successfully: I studied transformational coaching and now I run my program Successful Expat Nurse Accelerator which I help other nurses with, to achieve career goals abroad in a short time. I have an established presence on LinkedIn and I also held a podcast on YouTube (Nurses Move) where I interview other successful expat nurses and where I share tips on how to move abroad safely strategically and successfully as a nurse.
What I care about:
As an international career coach for nurses, my primary focus is on empowering nurses to navigate and thrive in a globalized healthcare landscape. I am dedicated to guiding nurses in advancing their careers across borders, ensuring they are well-equipped to overcome the unique challenges and capitalize on diverse opportunities in the international healthcare arena.
I prioritize personalized career development plans that take into account individual aspirations, skills, and cultural nuances. By providing strategic guidance, mentorship, and resources, I aim to assist nurses in successfully transitioning to and excelling in different healthcare systems. My approach is holistic, addressing both professional and personal goals, whether it's finding the right job abroad, learning about cultural differences in patient care, or budgeting your move.
I am committed to fostering a global community of nursing professionals, facilitating networking opportunities. I strive to empower nurses to make informed decisions about their international career paths, ultimately contributing to the elevation of healthcare standards on a global scale.
