Nursing in Sweden

Hi

I´m a nurse from Sweden and I would be happy to answer any questions you have about nursing here. Since you are educated outside eu/ees you are going to find it difficult to get a Swedish lisence.

You need a permit that allows you to stay here before they even look at your papers! Work permit based on your work as a nurse is not enough. You need a work/stay permit based on family relations or on some kind of humanitarian reason before they will assess your papers. Is this something you have, Swedish family / relatives?

After the work/stay permit you are going to have take tests (medical knowledge and Swedish) and it seems like you also have to get 3-6 months clinical education (supervised by another nurse).

Looking through all of this I actually realize that my journey to get to California and work was not to bad comparing it to my own country's rules.....

We have a need for nurses here (especially in certain areas, like icu, operating room) and you would be more than welcome to join us if all works out!

This link will give you a lot of information from the Swedish national board of health and welfare (mostly in Swedish).

I come from Poland and I am an EU citizen. I wonder if that could help if I look for a job in Sweden.

Hi Scully

Being a EU citizen should help a lot since you don´t need a work permit to work here. That should also mean that they have to look at your credentials if you apply. Did you go to school i usa or in Poland?
