The program in short
The program is meant for EU-resident already having a EU-nursing degree. However, we do offer Erasmus internships for EU-students as well.

You’ll only have to purchase the required study app.
For certified nurses:
Upon completing the beginner’s course, you’ll be invited to the Netherlands so you can get acquainted with the Dutch culture and any future co-workers.
