Hi Rnurse22!

:) I also dont know the process yet. But the one I know is you should get an authorization from SAFH(ministry of norwegian health) so you can work to norway. Do you know anyone who lives in Norway?

Hi evamore!

thank you for the reply..I back read the thread. I have now the form and I'm in the stage of completing the required documents..

Hei igjen.

Thanks so much. I will, of course, try to update every now and then if I know the answers. Let's help fellow nurses.

Kae87 - Stanvanger is close to Oslo however there are more opportunities in Oslo I think since it's larger but yes ramoj_13 (it's yahoo) if you can suggest or refer someone. Thanks a lot. What stage are you at in the processing btw?

Good luck RNurse22. Have patience and you'll get it for sure.

Thanks again!:redbeathe

Hi any idea if this recruiting agency is legitimate: ALLIED HEALTHCARE GROUP IN CHICAGO, I SAW their job offer in this website..thank you

Thank God I found this site. I am an RN in the Philippines and also applying as a nurse in Norway. My relative, who presently resides in Oslo (who's not a nurse) and referred me this http://www.safh.no site to read and fill out the forms. I send all the required documents and applied as a General Nurse. I received my Giro last month and paid 1,120 Kroner in the bank. But since almost all the banks don't have this currency(NOK), I just converted it and paid it in dollars. Then I found this site. I noticed that instead of applying as a general nurse, most of you have chose the auxiliary nurse for its the easiest way to get the authorization. Can I still change my application form from general to auxiliary? Do I still have to send back my invoice to SAFH by mail? I hope someone can help me on this. Thank you and God bless.

hi curious-rn,

i guess there is no need for you to change your application to auxiliary nurse since safh is are not made to hire employees but sort of like filtering nurses. based on what i have known, that safh only is granting authorization and we still need to go through another exam to become a registered nurse in norway. basically your employer will just look at your safh response and it is still there decision where they want to assign you but for us new nurses we are going to work in a geriatric facility since we are still learning the language. which is kinda find with me as a first step in going there.

by the way when did you pass your safh documents. they receive my documents last october 27 as i send it through fedex. i was wondering how they will reply. is it through snail mail or an email or a text or a call?

Curious RN,

your general nurse is fine no need for you to change it to auxiliary nurse application. based on what i have known if your aunt is above wager or own a property in Norway she might have sponsor you. maybe ask her to inquire on an embassy in there. or the process. and the fact that you receive a giro is a nice sign that you are qualified to work as a general nurse in that country. good luck to you.

ill be going there via job seeker visa and one of my family friend will help me in the process it sort of like sponsorship.
