CDI contracts, 35h weeks, and a top EU salary — your French career starts here.
Nurse in France
We map your exact diploma to the correct French pathway — EU fast-track or AE — from day one.
Every document is reviewed by our experts before submission, eliminating the rejections that cost months.
We know ONI, ARS, ADELI, and DREETS processes inside out — so you don't have to.
Matched CDI job offers from French healthcare employers are ready the moment your registration is confirmed.
Five clear stages separate you from practising as a registered nurse in France.
Confirm whether your diploma triggers automatic EU recognition or requires the non-EU AE process.
Apostille your diploma, obtain sworn translations, and secure a Certificate of Good Standing.
EU nurses apply directly to the ONI; non-EU nurses submit the AE dossier to the Ministry of Health.
France has two distinct recognition pathways depending entirely on where your nursing diploma was issued.
Gather these documents before submitting — missing paperwork is the top reason for delays.
Official original diploma with Apostille or French embassy legalisation.
Full certified transcripts showing subjects, hours, and clinical rotations completed.
We handle everything. You hire us, we do the rest.
