Nursing career in Rome

[RN_johanna15]

Good day Ma'am and Sir. I'm very interested in the topics listed here. For now I'm really in amidst of ambivalence in my nursing career. I am a registered nurse in the Philippines and currently working as a Registered Nurse in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Few months from now my contract will be finished and still have second thoughts of pursuing my career or continuing my contract for a lot of factors.I have a relative in Rome Italy who is willing to sponsor me to go there. Since working in European countries it's a dream for almost everyone. I really wanted to go and work in Italy as a Nurse. I understand that language barrier will be a number one issue here just like here in the Kingdom you need to know and converse well in Arabic.

My question is, how can I obtain a degree in Nursing in Italy? What are the needed documents or papers needed before enrolling? Do I have to apply for a student visa? What about the language? For how long should I be studying? I've read that you need to take the language proficiency exam prior to taking their board exam. If I will enroll in a nursing school for how long should I will be studying? Can I work and study at the same time?

I humbly asked and hoping for a positive feedbacks for all my queries in the group for this may affect my future decision in the future. Thank you so much and may God bless us!
