Using my RPN abroad?

I'm currently pursuing my Practical Nursing Diploma/Degree in Ontario and I was wondering if I'd be able to use that if I were to move to the Netherlands?

How does it work if I study here but move to a different country ?

Thanks!!

    You would need a BSN for a work visa in another country. The RPN designation doesn't tend to be recognized overseas.

    Generally the EU only accepts RN/BSN qualification

    The Netherlands is pretty specific. Are you of Dutch heritage and hold dual nationality.

    The PN education tends to be recognized more in the Commonwealth countries. Have heard of successful moves to Australia. I've even heard of a few older UK ENs working here in Canada.

    I personally know someone that worked in Australia with her PN education.
