How to Study Nursing Abroad in Spain

The University of Barcelona is one of a number of academic institutions in Spain that accept study abroad students into their nursing program. Being able to spend a semester taking courses in another country can be a great experience. In the nursing field, studying abroad can show you how a different country's health care system works. Hands-on experience in Spain will most likely be a very different experience than nursing in the United States.

      Check that all documentation has been properly submitted. This may include consent forms on behalf of the study abroad program, financial aid paperwork, transcript requests, visa application forms and a request form asking your current school to grant you permission to study abroad. Some of these forms may not be needed for some programs, and some programs may require additional forms. Use the program's website to verify that you did not miss any paperwork.

      Wait for the different letters to come from each program.

      Research the programs you have been accepted into to the best of your ability. Take advantage of any online resources you may have access to now that you have been accepted.

After talking with your advisor and planning out a course schedule, register for the desired classes.
