Nursing in France

Published

I'm a Nursing student here in USA, and would like to find out more information about Nursing education in France. I'm in my junior year right now, but I 've heard that American diploma is not accredited in France. Is that true? I would like to find out the answer because I was planning to move to France( Paris) with my husband as soon as I get my RN degree.

thanks for your reply but i've already read about that and it talks about nursing jobs in France-not about education in particular, and I really need that information

The only way really to find out is apply once you have a completed set of transcripts however if it doesn't meet their requirements or their nurse training program then they will not approve it.

Hello cleaveland83!

I'm a french nurses and I work in France (not Paris ,in the south)!

I can tell you a of things about nursing in france or the life here. Tell me exactly what you whant to know!!! . first, do you speak french? for whorking in france you've got to be fluent in french. The américan diploma is not accredited here, you will have to pass an exam .If you whant, I can ask in a nursing school. Or DDASS(direction départementale des affaire sanitaires et sociales). The nursing studies are changing since this year. you can take more information in this site "infirmier.com", or "conseil de l'ordre infirmier".

You can tell me more questions, if I can help you!!

Aurevoir!
