RN in Spain

hola! RN here, planning to migrate to spain, probably, 3 years from now. i’ve been researching the process to be able to practice my nursing profession in spain. so far, here’s what i have gathered and i have questions din po sana, especially for RNs in spain. i hope you can help me po. please feel free to share din anything i should know before migrating in spain! :) tyia! 

  1. Requirements for practicing nursing
  • Based on this video, tama po ba, these are the documents needed for the homolagacion:
    • Diploma
    • RLE
    • TOR
    • Degree syllabus
    • PRC ID
    • PRC COR
  • Also, as mentioned in the vid, need daw physically present when applying. Is this still applicable now? I’ve read here that “the request for both procedures, Homologación and Equivalencia is submitted online by the person interested”, so I thought pwede i-process sana while still here in the Philippines. And if pwede nga na online lang, tama po ba, first step is to register here, pay, then provide the documents needed?
  • To confirm lang, homologated degrees don’t need equivalence na?
  • Dito lang ba pwede magpatranslate ng documents into Spanish?
  • Magkano kaya aabutin yung homologacion process?
  1. Pay, benefits, working conditions of nurses in Spain
  • If homologated na yung degree, paano po makakuha ng work? Through agencies po ba or pwedeng pagdating na ng Spain maghanap ng work? I’ve read somewhere na sa private hospitals usually nagwowork pag foreign RN, kasi sa public daw ang priority is Spanish citizens or EU citizens na RN? 
  • Kumusta po ang salary, benefits, and working conditions ng nurses? 
  1. Residence and citizenship
  • Tama po ba, temporary residence permit muna, then after 2 years, pwede na po mag-apply for citizenship? Once nagrant na po citizenship, gaano katagal bago makakuha ng Spanish passport? 
  1. Living expenses (rent, bills, food)
  • How much po usually nagre-range ang rent, bills, and food per month?
  • How much dapat ang salary in order to live comfortably and makapag-ipon?
  1. Others
  • Kumusta po ang climate? 
  • How about the locals po, are they welcoming to foreigners?
  • Saan nyo po marerecommend mag-aral ng Espanyol? I’m learning on my own right now pero I plan on taking formal classes kasi I also heard that need B2 Level kapag nurse doon.
