Nursing in S.Korea

[Cicilje]

Hi everyone.

I`m a Norwegian/Danish nursing student on my last semester. I`m currently interning at an international clinic in Seoul, S.Korea, where the founder just asked me if I wanted to come back and work when I graduated.

I would really like to accept this job offer, but to do that, I have to find out if there`s a way around the rule about having to have taken the Korean nursing exam to work in Korea as a nurse? Seeing how it`s an international clinic, maybe I can work on international credentials? Does anyone know?

If I get the job, I`ll be studying Korean while I`m here, so that later, I can either take the Korean nursing exam, or go to another country to work as a nurse.

Thanks for reading this, and hope you can help.

My best bet is to ask the Korean nursing board or ask your founder what the requirements are...

I'm Korean licensed in US and Canada but the thought of taking the Korean exam is just too much (9 hr exam, little critical thinking questions with tons of questions requiring rote memorization). I am fluent in Korean but because I was licensed outside of Korea, I would have to pay a lot of money to just translate my school documents/syllabi and a whole other stuff the Korean nursing board requires.
