Hello everybody. This is a huge forum and I will spend a lot of time here getting good information about my future years. Thanks for providing this great page. I am not yet in a nursing program, but will be within the next 2 years. I have a HUGE question.... I am an austrian citizen and would be able to attend a 3 year nursing school there for very cheap, here in the US (I am a legal resident) I would have to pay thousands for only a semester. Does anybody of you out there know what happens with an out of country degree? Does it transfer? Do you have to undergo testing to be a nurse in the US? Do I have to go to college here anyways? I really appreciate any input on this.... Thanks so much, Asta
