Nursing in Sweden

Is anybody familiar with nursing in Sweden? How does RN associate degree translate to Swedish nurses? I am fluent in Swedish so language is not a problem, but I am not sure who to contact about credentials, etc. Also, how is work there in general? Any info would be appreciated

Thanks

I'm sorry if I've been misleading you. I mean upper secondary school courses(high school)not college courses..

Oh, does that mean that high school diploma from any EU country is enough? I really appreciate your responses. I am really excited about it and looking forward to get on that case as soon as possible.

Hello, I am in the same boat as the other girl who replied however I am currently working in Canada. My boyfriend is also from sweden moving back and wanting me to move as well. I will have 1 year experience of nursing in pediatrics by moving time. Im also not sure what my options are for nursing in sweden. I do not speak swedish however I would be willing to take a 6 month course on the language to hopefully become fluent. Not sure how difficult this may be. Do you need a certain amount of years of experience before considering moving..?

Hi everyone,

I am a registered nurse from England and have been trying to seek ways of nursing in Sweden, I work mainly in theatres (Operating Rooms). I am not fully fluent in Swedish, however I have been learning for quite some time.

I have been looking to move to Mellerud for quite sometime, and perhaps work in a neighbouring hospital there.

Can you perhaps tell me what it is that I must do in order for my searching and finding a job successful in Sweden please? Should I apply to hospitals to see if there any vacancies? Should I write my l enquiries in Swedish? Will I be expected to speak Swedish at an interview stage?

Thank you so much for your time.

Kindest Regards...

Thank you so much that is a great help.

That was the next question I was going to ask was 'How do I get a license'? As a local hospital not far from Torgrinsbyn wish for me to fill in an application, I need a better understanding of the Swedish language...which I am learning at the moment. And they asked me to obtain a license.

Thank you Starqueen! :hug:

Hi I am a Family Nurse Practitioner in the United States. I have a masters of science in nursing. My husband's job is transferring him to Sweden. I was wondering if anyone knows if this education will transfer to Sweden?
