Being from within the EU you shouldn't have any problems but will need to meet their nursing requirements ie get transcripts translated. Also expect they will require fluency in Italian

As far as I know there is no more special training for paediatric nurses. I was in Northern Italy in 2006 and at college it was the last course for paediatric nursing students.

However you have to have your diploma translated and send it to the Italian Department of Health in Rome. They will send you a letter and with this letter you have to go to IPASVI of the town you wish to work in to register. I think for registration you´ll need the Codice fiscale (tax number) which you get with a resident´s address (hotel address is enough).
