Dear Maureen, first of all thank you for sharing such a great content, it is more than helpful! I hope you could help me with a doubt that I’m having: is it possible to apply for SRK recognition or will my application be automatically rejected if I am applying as a nurse with diploma from non EU country but without experience? I do posses an EU passport and language certificate but I obtained my diploma, mandatory internship and state exam in non EU country where I’m currently living. Any opinion and advice is appreciated 🙏

Hello. No, lack of experience is not grounds for rejection. It may just mean that you will not get the direct entry, meaning you will have to do internship here which makes sense and is also very beneficial.

Hello Abigail, I made a video on types of work permits for non EU nationals. Please watch it and let me know if you still need help with this topic. Will be glad to put something up.

Hello Maureen, Hope you are doing well. Thank you so much for creating such informative videos. I was born in Italy and moved to Australia 10 years ago. I have both Italian and Australian citizenships. I studied Diploma of Enrolled Nurse in Australia and have a 3 years experience working in Aged care facility in Australia. Me and my husband are planning to move to Switzerland sometime in the future. He has Australian citizenship but not Italian. We also have 2 kids. Are you able to suggest us what could be the ideal way for us to move to Switzerland? I love Zurich but being an Italian , I might have to consider Ticino which I really like a lot too. I also have a basic understanding of French as I studied it in the school . So I think I will have to consider Ticino or the French part to some extent . Do you think I am able to work in Switzerland with diploma of enrolled nurse ? Does it help to have an EU passport in this case ? Can my husband and kids move with me to Switzerland? Kindly share your opinion on our situation. Thank you and best wishes from Australia:)

Hello Maria. Being that you are Italian makes it easier for you. All you have to do is the Swiss Red Cross pre-check. You can do this while in Australia as it is done online. They will let you know whether your qualification is accepted in Switzerland or not. If accepted then you have to work on the language bit. If you meet the Italian language requirements then you should consider the Italian part of Switzerland and then relocate if you wish once you have learnt French or German. All these depend on how fast you want to be settled here. However, the very first step would be the pre-check. Aged care is in high demand. Your family can of course be given permits based on your passport (family reunion).

Can the CAS be done without repeating the bachelors? Or can I do the masters there?

Hope you're doing well sunshine I have a diploma in nursing and a degree in midwifery from Zambia currently practicing in NewZealand any idea if my qualification can be acceptable in Switzerland?

Hello. Yes it can. However, NewZealand is not a EU EFTA member state hence their recognition of your qualifications does not affect the recognition process here. You therefore will go through the recognition process as someone practicing in Zambia but might not be subjected to the internship since you have experience from NewZealand. Hope I didn’t confuse you.

Hello mauren ,as a USA citizen is possible relocate to swiss to study nursing in Swiss or to work

Hello, very possible. Watch my video ''Non-EU countries eligible to work in Switzerland'' You will get some ideas.

Hi there! My daughter is a nursing graduate from Manila, Philippines. She will be in Zurich on March 2024. She's on tourist visa (family reasons). She wants to work there and understood the pre-check of Swiss Red Cross. She will bring all her original documents. My question is: since she's on a tourist visa for 86 days only, can she change that to a student visa if she studies the German language and aim for a B2 certificate? Next question: can you recommend a language school in Zurich? She doesn't want to repeat the 3 yrs nursing study as you mentioned here. She just wants the 1yr fast track and 6 months internship. No worries with roundtrip tickets as she can exit if necessary and re-enter again this time with a student visa. Is that possible? Thanks so much for your reply :)

Hello. I am not an immigration expert but would like to discourage your daughter from caring her original documents to Switzerland when on a tourist visa. This can mess the whole process for her as she can be denied entry if controlled. That being said, if your daughter learns the Swiss German language, she can easily apply for a job for example with the Scholten agency. Let her contact them while here for guidance. German language schools I would recommend in Zurich: 1) vox-sprachshule 2)Berlitz Hope this helps.

@@maureensunshine3185 Hi good morning from Manila! Thanks so much for your insights. I told my daughter to not bring her original documents. We will just have it scanned and keep in her email anytime needed she can send to Swiss schools, employment agencies, Swiss Red Cross later. And if the originals are needed, I can just send to her via courier. Thanks for recommending Berlitz. I heard about them and they got good reputation. I also heard Goethe Institute is good for German language too. And thanks for the Scholten Agency. I checked out their website and it's very useful indeed. I forwarded your info to my daughter. She's arriving March 2nd next year. She has started watching yoiur videos too! Thank you so much and happy holidays! 🌲🎅

Hello Dolma123, so if your husband stays in Switzerland you have the possibility to join him in the context of family reunion. There are plenty of nursing jobs in Switzerland. However, you have to go through the recognition process since you are not EU trained. Please watch my first video on how to go about this. You however have to learn the language. No other way out. Will post a video next week on the nursing job market in Switzerland. Hope that helped.

Hello. You don’t have to do your Bachelors again. They recognise what you already have. Having no bedside experience just means that you may have to do internship. My email is in the description box. Feel free to mail me for more details.
