Hi and welcome to the site

This thread should help but you do need to be fluent in French to work over there. Post 57 should have some info https://allnurses.com/forums/f75/nursing-france-51801-6.html and you could also try the search yourself on France and see what comes up.

Maybe a case of getting your course evaluated and see it they accept it. There is a thread in the UK forum which lists a couple of UK universities that now offer catch up courses. https://allnurses.com/forums/f124/must-read-uk-nursing-topics-consolidated-stickies-272189.html

hope these help

The Paediatric qualiification is recognised in France. You have to pay for a court translator. You also have to be fluent in french which is my problem at the moment. They are desperate for nurses in France. The NMC if you pay them do a letter stating you are registered. Life in France is wonderful but at the moment I am travelling between Brittany and London as I need to work but my language is not fluent enought. So if possible do not move out until fluent enough or you will end up in the same situation as me
