In my spare time, I enjoy all that Switzerland has to offer. The beautiful Alps are a paradise for outdoor activities such as hiking, skiing and snowboarding. There are also numerous lakes for swimming and water sports.
There are also many cultural attractions such as the old town of Bern, the historic city of Lucerne and the picturesque village of Zermatt. There are also numerous museums, galleries and theatres to visit.
Switzerland also values healthy food and good wines, so there are numerous restaurants and wine bars to sample.
In short, living and working as a nurse in Switzerland doesn’t just offer professional growth and development, but also many opportunities to enjoy all that the beautiful country has in store.
