Foreign nurse registration

Hi all,

I just moved to Finland 2 days ago

I am a nurse in my profession (R.N with degree) I got my licenses in Israel 8 years ago. I practiced nursing for 5 years and then I left for travelling. Hence, I did not practice nursing for more than 2 years now. I red all the requirement to apply for a license here in Finland at valvira.fi but I just want to make sure. Do they require a very recent practice or just 3 years practice after I finished my studies?

Thanks

Its 3 years after graduation, but as you havea non-EU degree you might need to get some training & pass the language test.

Hi

In order to work as a health care professional in Finland, you must have an authorisation (licence to practice a profession) from Valvira.
