Overseas Nursing Schools

In the first decade of the 21st century, registered nurses made up the largest faction of the health care occupation, according to the United States Department of Labor Statistics. The popularity of studying nursing is of little wonder--as a lucrative profession that directly benefits people in need, nursing is a job of universal interest. Those seeking to study nursing or midwifery overseas will find no shortage of schooling options.
