Hey, ya'll! I should be graduating in December 2008 with an associates in nursing (New Mexico). Recently, I met someone that I would like to be near. PROBLEM: she lives in Luxenburg, capital of the European Union. Any advice on looking at nursing in Germany, Luxenberg, UK, or the like? I am functionally bilingual in Spanish, not the other languages.

I maybe mistaken, but I think the requirement to work in almost all  European countries as an RN is a BSN degree

Well now, dont let a little ol bsn slow you down.  if the person is that hot, hot enough for you to move half way round the globe.  get a bag packed and check into on line BSN stuff.  dont know if that will work but worth a shot.  dang never met anyone that i would move that far for...hahaha

I am a German Nurse and the requirements are totally different as in the US.


I only for sure can tell you that is a real problem to come with a nursing degree to the US. You have to go through all the testing again. Regardless of your education and history backround.


I know in Germany it is basicly a 3 year diploma degree. If you have a BSN then it seems to me you do not have any problem. I do not know if they ask for language tests.


If you are regognized in any state of the European Community you have covered 90% of the world, again not in the US.


So your chances to have an easy transition is very good.
