Hi Rin,

Most welcome !!

Yes tax is much higher...however you get lot of other benefits like free medical service, subsidised education for kids, etc.

Climate, its good between april to september. Its not so good between October to March...cloudy, cold,rainy weather as far as you cover up your body completely, it is manageable !!

hi please help me
Hi, I badly need help and advice. I am a nurse from Philippines and now I am in denmark together with my girlfriend. We applied for student visa and was granted a residence permit until December 31, 2010. It is very difficult to get a working visa to DK from my country. So what we did was, we enrolled in a folkschool here in grinsted. Before we go here we have already sent our diplomas and other nursing papers to sundhedsstyrelsen and we were granted a temporary autorisation. But we have to find a hospital were we can have a trial period of 6 months, once we are finished with the trial period and gets a positive feedback, we can get permanent autorisation. And of course we have to learn the language. so we applied for a student visa and was granted
It has been 7 months that we are jobless, we have worked for 5 years in the hospital before. we have sent an applications to almost all hospitals and some plejecenters but no luck... Right now we are on a praktik (gratis) in plejehjem. It's really really hard. In addition to that my mom who lives here for 13 years became pensionist and she only gets 6 thousand kroner from kommune. I'd like to ask for help and advice on what to do. How can we extend our visa? 3 months left….please help…. we are willing to take any job as long as we can stay and get money and take care of my mom... Godbless to all…

Hi I'm Jaymie

Is there any vacancy for nurses in Denmark currently is am working as an Out patient nurse here in saudi,is there any exam to take before going to Denmark?

Hello,
Saw this topic and I'm curious should I ever want to move there. As a nurse with 6 years experience (2 in a blood test lab, and 4 in a dental clinic), and EU citizen, what are my options? Tbh I'm not a big fan of hospitals so I'm curious if I can find something similar. Have no problem learning the language too. 
Any advice is appreciated.

I link to Dansk Sygeplejeråds web site as I think you can find all necessary information.
https://dsr.dk/om-dsr/kontakt-dsr/welco … in-denmark

I see that the assessment takes its time, nearly a year - at least at the moment.

As you'll find, speaking and understanding Danish is a must. This will be an obstacle, economic and practical as you have to find another living for the first time.

Maybe, a private agency will be of use? I have found the agencies via a simple google search why I cann't vouch for them.

I also link to these information sites from two university hospitals.
