Ooh I know, that's a shame! I wish all countries had agreements, everything would be much easier. All my best for you, I hope this is a good opportunity to find another profession that fulfills you

For sure I'll need to take some courses then. Let's start with baby steps trying to validate my nursing degree first ?? at least I know I could work as L&D nurse which was one of my main concerns. Thanks!

Ooh thanks so much, really helpful! I know my nursing qualification can be transferred because other Spanish nurses that I know have done it, just a matter of time and money, of course haha. And after that NCLEX, sure. The midwifery is the one that shamefully I'm afraid is not gonna be validated. But if I could work as a L&D nurse at least I could bare with the waiting doing something that I like and I already have skills about (while I get some money to afford the crazy fees, have to say!) I will post in the future if I get to this dream, for sure. Thanks for your help, I hope you get your studies done soon and enjoy your time there meanwhile ?

Hello!! It might be too late to leave a comment here, hopefully you are still around. I think you could help me with my questions since you are studying to be a midwife in USA. My case is a bit different though, I studied nursing in Spain (BSN 4 years) and then I specialised in midwifery (a postgraduate, 2 years). I was working as a midwife in Spain but then I moved to UK, so currently I'm working as a midwife in London. I'd really like to work as a midwife in USA but I don't have family or anything like that in US, for which I'd need a sponsor. Anyway, the main issue before the sponsorship, it's the validation of my studies. I think they won't validate my midwife qualification because it is not accredited by the midwifery board there, but I was wondering if being a nurse with experience as a midwife I could work as a Labour and delivery nurse while I study the masters to be a CNM. Have you heard about it? Do you think that could be possible?. I have been in contact with an agency for nurses abroad and they said I need to be a L&D nurse in UK or Spain to be able to work as the same role in US (which it is not gonna happen since we don't have that role LOL). Any comments and advice will be helpful. Thanks in advance guys!! Maria.
