What do I need so I can work as a nurse abroad? Specifically, Italy...?

Question

Is there a language proficiency test of some sort?

A refresher course maybe?

Answer 1

Do you mean working a a professional nurse, like in (or for) a hospital? Did you get a qualification, in your Country?

Answer 2

1. Contact your local state nursing board and see if they have any contacts or links for International Nursing in Europe.

2. American Visa to travel there is necessary.

3. Contact travel agency to obtain any visa for working in Italy, they usually can get you a visa applicable along with the travel arrangements and possibly help you locate accommodation's for housing.

4. Google hospitals in Italy and contact them for any job openings or requirements.

5. You might get by without a fluency in Italian, otherwise there are lots of resources at a major bookstore to learn it.

Good luck.
