Spanish Nurse in Turku

First at all, there is a big difference from Spain to Finlan. Here in Finland if you are applying for a job, the boss or one that offer the job are going to ask you how you want to receive about your salary. By contrast, in Spain the boss usually doesn´t negociate nothing. If you want to go out to work outside you will have to negotiate your salary and especially in Finland.  Many leave Spain looking for higher wages, but do not know very well how much is paid for the position they want abroad. If you are like me, you will ask for a salary that you find interesting in Spain, because outside they value us more. The thing is that in other countries the taxes are higher and it is always spoken in gross and annual salary, with which in reality you can end up charging less than what you would have done in Spain, if you do not know this information, in your first job. Then, of course, you will want to charge more than in the first, but you will not be sure of what others charge for

For all Finnish men to do the military is an obligation. The country is divided into the four military provinces of the Finnish army: the south, west, east and north. Each one is responsible for the defense of their own area. These provinces are divided into 22 regional offices that deal with the recruitment for the military. Each year, some 27,000 Finnish men start military service and 66% of them finish it. Women do not have to do it, although they can volunteer and be accepted. Recruitment begins at age 18, although it may be delayed for reasons of study or work up to 28 - not like me, who wanted to recruit me with 8. Service time is six months (most of the recruits), nine ( recruits that require special skills) or twelve (those selected to train as officers). You can also do the military with unarmed training. After military service, Finns remain in the reserve until they are 50 or 60 years old, depending on the rank. They are also susceptible to being called for refresher trai

First at all, I were really surprised when I arrived here because I am get use to have blinds in windows to cover the sun. In Spain we have a lot sun so it is really important to have cover in windows so you are able to sleep properly. However, when I arrived here my surprised was huge due to the fact that they don´t use blinds! So in the first days I wasn´t able to sleep well. There are no blinds in Finland. As much there are curtains that block the direct light, but it is not possible to block it all to have a great night of sleep as it happens in Spain. Finnish people in particular, and the Nordic and Scandinavian countries in general, so accustomed to extreme changes in light, this does not affect them. In winter, if you are further north of the Arctic Circle, there is no light during the day, but the Kaamos, the polar night. If you are further south, there are only a few hours of light. In Summer there is either the aforementioned white night under the polar circle or the mid

Yesterday me and my friends were chatting in my residence after eating about the difference in salaries between Northen Countries specially Finland and our country (Spain). In Spain we have a Welfaire system similar to Finland but our salaries are lower compared to Finland. It is true that our prices are lower too. Here in Finland the salaries are much higher than Spain but the prices are higher too. However, we were discussing that the real problem is that in Spain the different of prices with Finland is not as big as the difference with salaries.  The average salary in Finland is 2300 for men and 2000 for women . Salaries in Finland, according to the study, are the seventh highest in Europe, and have been rising faster than the European average. Women continue to earn less money) and an age range. A good tool to have a basis when negotiating wages in Finland. There is no minimum wage in Finland but extremely small salaries. If we consider the high level of taxes of the country,

Alcohol and Finland The sale of alcohol of more than a certain gravity (a loose beer, of the lowest grades of beer) can only be sold in bars, restaurants, and in specialized stores monopolized by the state, the Alkos. The Alkos, In addition, they are very expensive for what we are used to, they open few hours and close almost all weekend, so when you want to take something at home you have to plan very well and open the portfolio. Many Finns, therefore, are going to spend the day in Tallinn, Estonia, and there they buy everything they can in the port (boxes and boxes) and take them in carts back. The source was so much the Cántaroa, that they had to enforce laws putting limits to this. Some Finns travel to Tallinn for a few hours to buy alcohol in the port and turn. Some of the most interesting Finnish spirits, if you want to try one there, are the kenkenkorva viina (similar to vodka), the liquor of Lakka (the moor of the marshes), the Minttu, the Sima homemade beer, or
