hi !

i'm a 30 frenchman seeking to work in US as paramedics but i would like to know if i have to get a special training cause i know american studies are different than french, and how long it is (for example in france to be a RN we have to study for a period of 3 years and a half, with a final exam to be graduate)

thank u for your help and sorry for my english.

fred

PS : i would like to study and work in nY city or in MA. (boston, providence..)

Hi,

If you're asking how long it would take to get your BSN then it kind of depends.

1. If you have nursing preq courses---microbiology, anatomy, etc.

then you can try and enter an accelerated program. Those take about 12 to 16 months.

you can also take a path called the traditional program. this will take 2 years.

2. If you don't have the preq courses, it could take you about 3-4 years.

If you don't understand what I mean, feel free to ask :)

hi,

well.....now i'm not sure. i honestly don't know the deal with you being an RN in france and then wanting to be an RN here.

Is there anyone else on the board who can help????

ps----i'd pick boston, over NY...but that's just me

also--in the dc, maryland, virgina area the nurses make the most cash of any of the states in the US.

(of course, they're not as cool to live in as boston!):)
