Specializes in Medical and general practice now LTC.

All depends on which country you plan on studying in. Each country will have their own requirements and you will always have to meet foreign nurse requirements with the state BON/BRN. Also as a student in another country you will have to pay International fees and working may be restricted

I don`t know which country you`re interested in, but here are some links for studies in Finland:

Finnish universities don`t have tuition fees for anyone, no matter where you`re from. Higher education degrees are funded by the state through the Ministry of Education.

Specializes in intensive care, recovery, anesthetics.

And just sth to think of, where do you want to practice in the future? If you want to go back to the States you will be a lifelong foreign educated nurse, with all the trouble that goes along with it. Not sure if you should get some basics in the States first and then go from there?

Plus Europe is so diverse, do you speak several languages? For several countries it will be difficult for a non citizen to get into the basic nursing program.
