Depends if you are an EU or non-EU... as first you need to get registered as a nurse and your degrees recognized. For non-EU its then more difficult as the EU has some directives of direct recognition with the right papers.

Then comes the deal with finding a job... If you can deduct something from the job adverts theres a language thing involved.

They do hire no-speak for assistant chore jobs, of course if you're still getting your paperwork in order that does take some time, mind you though they usually give short-term contracts in any case.

if you speak Finnish its much easier to get the job. Paramedic part i think you must speak fluent Finnish and all the rest info that pursuivant mentioned.
i think you must sit for an exam. some months ago Helsinki city was recruiting foreign nurse who live in Finland, educate them for a year or two not sure. then afterward get employed.
