What Countries in Europe is much like Latin America when it comes to taking care of the elderly?
I'm referring that you see Hispanic people in Latin America and it's part of culture when someone in the family is old unable to care him/herself.Instead of dumping them to a nursing home one of the grown kids of the elderly parent/s takes turn caring for them at their own house.Also the Hispanic culture sees it as a disgrace to dump them in a nursing home like people here in America do it. So my question is What central and eastern European countries do the same and view it the same as Latin Americans?Would the following countries include France, Romania, Bulgaria, Russia, Poland, Czech, Finland, Croatia, Ukraine? I know that it's the same with Southern European countries such as Spain, Portugal, Italy, Greece.Also that northern European countries such as United Kingdom, Ireland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Germany, are just about or the same as Americans. I keep wondering why does it seem that non white i.e Africans, Asians, Native Americans are the same way when it comes to caring for an elderly.

Africans normally don't live that long. They usually die of AIDS, tribe wars, genocide, and other diseases before the age of 35.
2 :
I Think in Us (Latinos) Its Mainly on Like a Catholic (Karma) We Believe our Elders are very Important and Everyone knows they don't want to be treated like baby's but do not want to be abandoned into a place where they might take care of them but the Love Isn't there... Its Like the Saying.. " Treat Others the Way You Would Like to Be treated" Just My Opinion...
3 :
As an Italian.. I know that Croations, Serbians and Romanians (Just any Eastern Euro country) are VERY family orientated and look after their elderly Its an embarassment to send your parents to a retirement home in our culture
4 :
Basque and Turkey.
5 :
I would say Spain. By the way, Finland is in northern Europe.

Veterinary Technician moving to the UK
Veterinary Technician moving to the UK?
I have currently almost completed Veterinary Technician degree here in the US (a two year degree). But recently there have been circumstances which encouraged me to move to the United Kingdom after completion of this degree. (i.e. fiance) I need someone who can help or direct me to a resource that can help me figure out how to translate my veterinary technician degree into a veterinary nursing career. If anyone knows of any websites that could answer veterinary nursing demand in the UK as well that would be a big help. Basically, I'm clueless about what I should do and where I should be looking!

You should start by contacting the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons as that is the group that oversee veterinary nurses. They will be the group that would have to determine the value of your degree compared to their requirements for credentialing of veterinary nurses in the UK. http://www.rcvs.org.uk/VeterinaryNurses

Go to the Sun Oil website and peruse their career opportunities to find out. Its obvious that real or fake, this is a solicitation from a third party recruiter, not the hiring company.
2 :
did you actually apply for a job with them? if no, then it's fake - send in a resume - see what happens - if they wind up asking you for any money - then it's a scam - run away
3 :
If this person is real, you can find out by doing a quick search for the name Dr. Mike Carlos at your favourite search engine. Chances are he will show up with the same address, assuming he is legit. I get at least 10 of these letters each week. My gut instincts tell me to trash them. If you need the job check it out by calling the number. As Dr. Deth says above, if they ask for money, it is a scam. Run. To your success, Anthony http://prosperityinmotion.net/blog.html

Yes it has all the typical ingredients of a scam letter, 99% of them are from Nigeria. Someone posted an almost identical one a few months back. Ignore it and anything else with similar wordings in the future.
2 :
I presume your not in UK. Ask yourself why wouldn't this person look more locally for a nurse? Never send personal information by email to unsolicited mail. No home address,telephone number or copies of passport. These people are good at creating false identities and you could wind up with debts you know nowt about. same applies on social networking sites also. Report it as spam.

looks a fraud to me. Identity theft? Did a search on gallery group uk and nothing found. Also £1000pw seems way over the top even for a private nurse in London. If it seems too good to be true........ !!!

This is a Nigerian scam to steal your money and your identity. DO NOT respond or send any information Gallery Group is not a real company - it's a fake company name used in numerous job scams http://www.consumercomplaints.in/complaints/gallery-group-uk-amp-dana-petroleum-c154787.html so the family cannot work for a fake company An American working in the UK cannot sponsor a foreign worker, nor can any individual or family. Only a corporation already registered by the Home Office can sponsor foreign workers http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/workingintheuk/tier2/ict/sponsorship/registerofsponsors/ then click on the document on the right "Register of Sponsors - Employers" -- if they are not listed there they cannot sponsor you. NO exceptions. You cannot work as a Nurse in the UK unless you come as a student and complete the Overseas Nursing Programme. Until you do so, you cannot be offered any sort of nursing job in the UK You do not send any emails to anyone. there is no UK Boarder Home Office - it's the Home Office Border Agency. The employer applies for a Certificate of Sponsorship - not a Certificate of Eligibility, which does not exist. It takes 12-14 weeks for the Home Office to approve a Certificate of Sponsorship. The employee does nothing at this point but wait for 3 months for an original letter to be sent to their home address. No nursing job in the UK pays 1000/week. You would be lucky to make 2000/month
