Anyone here who has studied nursing in another European country?

Was the course just as busy and intense as in the UK?

Btw Ireland doesn't count unless the situation is indeed very different from over here.

this depends which European country as each healthcare system will have sifferent standards of requirements in terms of clinical hours, theory hours, assessments etc. you would have to research the requirements in a specific country you're looking into.

Of course but I'm asking if anyone has any direct experience....in any European country?

I know that the European Union countries have the same standards the UK still has which is the hours of practice, 100 AN examinations, 100 PN examinations and 40 deliveries and so on so those countries would have the same intensity

yes it's just an example as it's the same with nursing standards and the hours requirements, department rotations etc within the European Union standards which the UK still has

other than the fact that a mixture of P2k and what the Dutch were doing at the time was taken was the basis of the Europe wide standard in the 1990s , as the past Franco-german model de-emphasised assessment and decision making by the RN and the Eastern European models of Nursing were primarily personal care based as the interventions were done by Feldsher type roles (kind a Physician associate type role but with a soviet tinge)

It's most definitely not primarily personal care based in Romania. Over there nurses don't do personal care at all! Are there any other countries like that in Europe...or the world?
