Degree in Nursing: the prestige of Spanish professionals abroad

Few professions have been so highly regarded these last months as healthcare ones. The commitment, dedication and professionalism of Spanish nurses have become evident although this is something we have known for long. Since, Spanish nursing students easily find work in Europe and it is highly-valued profession internationally.

University education on Nursing in Spain is one of the best worldwide with a high level of professionalization. The hours of practical learning are essential for highly qualified new nurses to take the leap each year into the labour market. In fact, at CEU Cardenal Herrera they offer over 2,200 hours of practical learning, twice the amount normally offered at European universities. This turns our new students into highly regarded candidates in the United Kingdom or Germany as their performance and results are higher than of graduates from other countries.

Nursing is without doubt a totally vocational career. Empathy and the willingness to help others are key. At CEU Universities we offer comprehensive education in values so our students gain communication skills and very valuable personal skills for their professional day to day. To this we add the hours of practical education at university hospitals and a teaching staff with renowned professional experience. Also, Spanish students outstand for their orientation to the patient’s medical attention with respect to the greater importance given in other countries to education on patient support or assistance.
