Applying as a nurse in Norway, anyone else?

khent · Dec 18, 2012

I don't have any hospital experience yet, I just passed the board exams last July. I'm planning to apply this January, hopefully. I don't have any problems with accommodation since I would be living with my aunt in Egersund. As for the school, maybe I would enroll in Egersund voksenopplæring to minimize fare expenses.

wow! you are lucky to have an aunt living in Norway :). Good for you :). at least you can focus on learning the language while you're in there. I agree, the tuition from the adult courses that are offered by their kommunes are half the price of what the private language schools offers . The only problem is that they can't give you an assurance that they can give you slot on the spot. sometimes you need to wait for a minimum of 1 month before you can start your lessons. hehe. Maybe you ask your aunt for another option because you need to show the embassy for a proof that you are already accepted in a certain school?. I'm not sure though about this.

I already took up language classes here in Cebu. I can fairly speak Bokmål now, so I guess they can't backbite me easily. Hahaha :). I think the embassy doesn't require you to enroll first in a certain school in Norway. Actually, that's also what I thought. Then a friend told me that they only require a study plan from us. He recently applied for a visa and he was granted one without enrolling in a school first. You could check http://www.norway.ph/embassy/visainfo/permits/language for references on the requirements. So when do you plan to apply? Do you already have a study plan?

Hello! I am also planning to go to Norway and I was a June 2012 board passer. Is it really ok to go there even if you no hospital experience yet? And what is the process in order to go and work there? Sorry if the questions is spoon feed :cry: but I called the Norway embassy and I didn't understand the process. I hope you guys can answer. Thankies! :)

@khent

The only thing I don't have is the show money. hahaha. Once I have, I'll apply and process my papers immediately. Wow. that's good. You won't find it difficult to adjust when you're there already since you already know their language . So, what's your study plan now? knowing that you have a background on their language. :))

@dalagangpilipina

Please check and read this site Residence Permit to Learn Norwegian (Skilled Workers) :)

@allison_1327

So you also have the information about housing already? I could show you my study plan. Just add me on facebook, KhenThoi.

@dalagangpilipina

I guess we're on the same boat. I was also a recent passer of the board exams last July. I also don't have any hospital experience yet. I guess it wouldn't matter since we still have to study their language first. What visa are you trying to apply for? Jobseeker or Student Visa?

@khent

I already sent friend request on facebook :)

@allison_1327 Thank you very much! :)

@khent probably in student visa but the only problem is where in Norway I can stay. :***:

hi all nurses!

GOOD thing I was able to browse website regarding jobs in norway. My friend told me that norway needs a volume of nurses. problem is i am clueless of the process as in I will start from scratch. Hope you can guide me and by the way my question is what are the requirements and is there a need of an agency??? how about the language I read that you must learn there language first. also how much money will I spend? thanks much!
