italian RN but Non-EU citizen

World International

Published

Hi i would like to ask what i should do. I am a licenses nurse in the philippines and here in italy but i am not an italian citizen. Other embassies told me that if i will go to other part of europe, my license in italy is not valid since i am not a eu-citizen. Its like i've waisted my time to pass the exams and be licensed here and in the end since there is crisis here and the competetion is high, i can' t be able to work in the hospital. Can anyone help me what i should do? Thank you.

Each country has their own requirements for people who trained outside the EU and regardless on having a nurse license in one EU country requirements still have to be met

I am a filipina RN and italian RN as well. But due to crisis and high competition here in italy i am planning to go to other parts of EU where i can work as a nurse but i have found out that i couldn't work in other parts of EU if i am not a citizen in any part of EU. I felt like i have wasted all my time just to be able to recognized my profession here. What should i do?where else can i work?

Working in the middle east requires 3-5yrs working experience right?
