Because there is a lot of diversity
I'm a nurse, trained in Brazil, I've been working in the area for 04 years. I specialize in urgency and emergency, ICU and oncology. But I arrived in Danbury-CT 30 days ago and I am requesting my diploma validation. I do not have the necessary documents, as I am still in the process. Can we continue anyway? I have a reference here. I am already working as a caregiver. But I am entering the documentation.
This town is very friendly. Transportation is very good. A lot of job Opportunities.
