Swedish student

Hi

Im a Swedish student. I'm almost done with my Nurse degree, I have 2 courses left to finish. Right now I'm in a situation were I may have to move to the States with my husband and won't be able to finish. I wonder if some of you guys have any idea if I could transfer my courses to the States and finish over there?

It it would be awesome if I can get any information!

Thank in advance

You can't transfer courses within US schools it's near impossible to transfer courses from overseas. It's not easy to obtain a US state nursing license as an internationally educated nurse as you are trained to the standards of the country of education.

You may be considered an international student (tuition 2-3x of resident/local students) until you meet residency standards once you move.

If you know the area you are moving perhaps look up schools in the area and contact them about your unique situation. The state board of nursing will list all approved nursing schools on their website.
