Do you have to join the army in Finland

Do you have to join the army in Finland?
Does everybody in Finland have to join the army? I dont really understand how it works. So you do training for a certain amount of time and then in 10 years they could ring you up and say they need you? What if your a fat slob that cant even move and you have forgotten everything you learnt 10 years ago?

Want to work in Finnish hospital, but don't speak Finnish

Want to work in Finnish hospital, but don't speak Finnish?
I want to work in pediatric nursing and I plan on moving in Finland and becoming a nurse there. I do not speak any Finnish, only English. Do they only speak Finnish in the hospitals? What kind of obstacles can I expect to find?

imagine a person from poland going to america without knowing any english, expecting to find a job within the medical profession. of course you need to speak the language of the country you go to, especially as a nurse/doctor there. you need to be aböe to communicate with people there. even though most adults will know english, the kids still wont and even the adults will be resilient to be forced to speak english in their own country. what if you had to speak spanish to your doctor instead of english? i dont understand how americans think sometimes....

You think sick people suddenly magically speak a foreign language when they go to hospital? Yes, of course they speak Finnish. If you can't communicate in the language of the country, they won't consider you to be a qualified nurse, let alone employ you. If you want to work in Finland, go take language classes.

Am I allowed to live in Finland permanently

Am I allowed to live in Finland permanently?
Hi, I'm deciding to move to Lahti permanently from the UK early next year to study and work. I'm ok with finding an apartment and a place to study. I would just like to know if I have to fill in an application form of any kind before I move - or do I just go there and register with the local police station? Your responses will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

the courts are presided over by Ukko the god of sky and thunder and the Lycherns will pull your teeth out for wickedness. damn you turkey gobbler i'll see you in hell.

The courts exercise judicial power, that is, they decide individual cases. The courts are independent: They are bound only by the law in force. No outside party can intervene in the decision-making of the courts. The independence of the courts is guaranteed by the Constitution. Hope this helps.

THEY ARE NICE SIMILAR TO THE BRITISH COURT SYSTEM
