Can I become a Nurse in Europe and work in the USA?
I am an American citizen and I would like to study in Europe and become a nurse there. Would the degree I get in Europe be valid in the United States? The country I want to go to is Germany, but I also wouldn't mind Finland.

Make sure it's an "approved course" http://www.rn.ca.gov/applicants/lic-exam.shtml

Leave for spouses stationed in Germany
Leave for spouses stationed in Germany?
Hi I am currently stationed in Germany, my husban recently deployed to Iraq. I was taking pre-requisites to the nursing program bach home...I was under the impression that they would have LOTS in the way of schools over-seas. Unfortuantely they are very limited for nursing and science degrees. I would like to go back to the states to take my clinical courses which may take 1-2 semesters since they are not offered here. My husband is under the impression that I cannot leave for longer than 30 days or he will be charged back our housing allowance. Is this true? Is there anything I can do under these cicumstances. Any information would be SO appreciatied! Thank you for all of your replies! They were very different from one another but alos helpful. I need to contact the FRG on post I suppose to be certain. Thanks again!

Its my understanding that they won't totally take away your BAH, they would just adjust it to the zip code of wherever you go in the states. They would not give you COLA and BAH for a house in Germany while you are taking classes in the U.S, so you would probably have to sell your house in Germany.
2 :
I've never heard of that. As a matter of fact, I'm deployed right now too, and my wife is NOT living at our house back where I'm stationed, she's been back at her parents house for 5 months now.
3 :
what will happen is that you you will lose: SOFA sponsorship( not be allowed to return to Germany) COLA for yourself on base housing or OHA, whichever applies. and if he doesn't get ERD for you..no BAH where you will be residing. it would be a voluntary move, not a PCS, therefore you lose out on a lot.
4 :
Since you would be away from the base for more than 30 days, you would loose your housing on base or the BAH to pay for your off base house. You would then have to pay to move/put all your household in storage since you left voluntarily, without orders/command sponsership. Your husband would also loose dependent rate COLA since youwould no longer be living overseas. To do what you are wanting, you would have to try for an early return to the states under command sponsership. The problem with that is, once you are moved back to the states, you will not be able to move back to Germany to re-join your husband for the rest of his tour there. I would strongly urge you to talk to your husband's command as the implications and affect this could have would be pretty far reaching.

You would just still have to take the American NCLEX first before you could work in the USA, but medicine in Europe is taught the same as it is here.
2 :
Your best bet is to talk to an administrator from a nursing school, good luck! There are so many beautiful sites in Germany, I envy you.
3 :
Us British have morals. Our country trains us to treat our own, and visitors of course.
4 :
You would have to take the NCLEX in the US to have you degree certified and license approved.However,you might make a bit more money in Europe with an official degree.

Does anyone know how I should proceed
Does anyone know how I should proceed?
I'm an Air Force wife and we're stationed in Germany right now. I wish to become a nurse, but can't get a job without any degree in the nursing field and can't take any campus courses. I am with Kaplan, currently, getting my degree in Medical Assisting. Does anyone have any better suggestions for me on how to reach my ultimate goal of becoming a RN? Would a physician's assistant be a better online option or should I stick to medical assisting? Or should I chart a whole new course? Thank you in advance!

I think that first of all, don't settle for just anything. I mean, don't just chart a whole new course if your heart is really into the medical field. Secondly, maybe you should stick to medical assisting FOR NOW, only until you are able to take more courses to achieve RN status. Who knows? You may decide you really like med assisting (or even something else) and then you won't even have to worry about it! :)
2 :
There are no Physician Assistant Programs that are Online. Physician Assistants are Trained medical professionals and most programs are Masters Degree Programs. Which is much more advanced training than an RN. Check out aapa.org to see what a Physician Assistant is.
