receiving nursing degree abroad

World International

Published

Hello everyone! I'm not a nurse yet however I plan on becoming one someday. I am a Canadian citizen but am considering attaining my nursing degree abroad in Europe. I am wondering if having a degree from another country will hinder my ability to find a registered nursing career in Canada once I've finished. Would I do my 4 years abroad and then write the big Canadian nursing exam and as long as I do well on that would it matter that I obtained my degree elsewhere? Do any of you have any insight on this? I would certainly appreciate any input from you guys! :)
