Hello Forum,

I am new here. Sorry, if I have posted this in the wrong place, let me know where I should repost, if so.

Basically, I am currently a sophomore nursing student in one of the top rated state schools of my state. I am not sure if this is something I will actually do, but I am curious of my options and what this entails. I'd like to go to school abroad, I don't mean study abroad, which is too late in my case to do anyways. I'd like to either finish/pick up or start over in a nursing program. I haven't started any of my major nursing classes other than health assessment, so it wouldn't really be like starting over, right? It would be nice if i could get all my other credits transfered, like the anatomy and micro. Regardless, I know that Germany offers a hospital based program for nursing. I've read up on it and I have three years to go anyways! My question is how possible is this to do? If I were to get a nursing lisence of some sort in a German program would I be able to work in the states? Take the NCLEX as well? Or even if I were to just transfer to another university in perhaps England, what are the complications and/or the likelihood I can do this?

It is important to be to become a nurse, but it is also a dream of mine to live in Europe.

Please help. Any information on this subject would be greatly appreciated. Please and thank you. =)
