«I left Xàbia just for work reasons»

January 16 from 2018 - 07: 10

One more week we traveled to England and specifically to London. There is our protagonist today, María Garreta Chorro. An xabiera who left her hometown to devote herself to her work passion, to be a midwife. Although María has lived outside of Xàbia for several years because of studies or work, she had never had such a long stay in a city outside of Spain. At present, this xabiera has been living in London for four years, "an experience that I had not raised but that has made me form my future"explains Maria.

And is that, after a year of unemployment, and after the struggle to achieve his dream, María decides to open a working path abroad where there is a great demand for toilets. Passing the opposition of midwife resident is not easy, "Being a midwife cost me seven years of study, including the tough EIR Opposition where every year only 500 people out of 20.000 get a resident interim nurse (EIR) position. Once I got the degree I was unemployed looking for work and after the helplessness of finding nothing, I was forced to emigrate "says the xabiera.

Today, our son travels to London where he has seven interviews in different hospitals and only with the first one he gets to work in what he had dreamed of, a vocational work in which he experiences the experience of bringing a life to the world. But England does not only give her the opportunity to have her profession, but there she knows what her husband is now, a boy from Dénia who is a nurse, and with him who now await his first child, "Here (London) we can afford what in Spain is unfortunately still a luxury for many: having children. In May Lucas will be one more in the family!", Maria explains.

Without a doubt, according to María, "My trip was 100% by labor issue since I only wanted to work as a midwife. After the great effort involved in passing the oppositions, you want to dedicate yourself to what you really like." But the beginnings were not easy, "Luckily, the hospital where I work gave me facilities when it came to living there but it is necessary to highlight the issue of paperwork, paperwork, etc., it is difficult outside your country."

Now, both Maria and her husband Alberto has practically settled their lives in London but their nostalgia for the climate of this region makes them think about returning one day. "The sun, the weather and the food are things that are greatly missed when you are in England without neglecting the family and friends that is obvious, that is why we plan to return to Spain in the future and not to any city ​​but to Xàbia or some nearby town but I am also clear that the advances they have in England are not those of Spain and when I return I would like to continue working on the same line "He explains xabiera.

In addition, Maria adds that the current working conditions are good, "which allows me to come to Xàbia every two months and enjoy my land in each holiday period".
