    Do anybody have experience of getting as a pharmacist to Norway?

    Hello

    right now I am registred as a pharmacist in Estonia. Even had work some time ago
    It is hard to find here right now so I am trying to relocate to Norway right now. As far as know while I am EU reigistrated pharmacist it will not be too hard to get registration in Norway. But what about norwegian language? will I have any luck truing to find something without language. For example some hospital pharmacy? Hospital pharmacy do not deal directry with patients (at least they don`t do it in Estonia), maybe English will be sufficient in the beginning?

    Thanks.

    WE were in Norway Summer 2009. Hardly met a Norwegian in the shops or as guides. Apparently, hordes descend on Norway in the Summer (and increasingly so in the Winter) and obtain jobs in shops, as guides etc. If you try for this Summer, should have no problem. English is spoken everywhere.

    Well I will explain my idea a bit. I have worked as a pharmacist in Tallinn`s old town. Have met there different people, even some pharmacists from UK. She told me (that lady to whom I have spoken) told me that for example they had some pharmacists from Spain working with them, they spoke English very badly but still worked. And here in Estonia I have met one pharmacist from Egypt he is working here in Tallinn in hospital pharmacy using English language. Like he told me "I know Estonian language a little bit". So I thought that there might be analogical situation in Norway.

    Would you like to learn norwegian Kirill? Adecco is currently recruiting pharmacists in Poland. They offer six-month-long language course in Szaflary near Zakopane. It's for free(food, accommodation and some extra money for your effort). Here are some details, althouhg in polish.

    Yes, thank you, Rupi80, for info about Norwegian in Poland .But, first, I do not think they would exept me from Estonia in Poland , then I need to do a lot of paper work for Poland myself here (notar and so on ) , then for Norway .
    It would be nice to find free language course in Norway , and there should be medical terminalogy there as well.

    does anybody has any relevant experiance with Norway, pharmasicts?
