- Fill out the application form to SAK with all supporting documents and make certified copies to be sent.
- Pay the processing fee to SAK through altinn.
- Apply for language program
- Apply for visa to Norway (if you are from outside EU)
Continue learning Norwegian and sign up for the advanced Norwegian test “Bergenstesten”.
Once you have received the notification from SAK and passed the test “Bergenstesten”, you can use the letter to sign up for the course “Nasjonale fag for sykepleiere”.
After passing the two examinations in “Nasjonale fag for sykepleiere”, you need to submit all the new documentation to SAK to have your applicaiton reviewed.
If you have done the paperwork correctly, you should receive your authorisation from SAK to practice nursing in Norway.
Additional training needed
Most nurses from outside the Nordic countries have to take the course “Nasjonale fag for sykepleiere” as a supplement to receive their authorisation.
This course is a four week intensive course held at the Oslo and Akershus University College of Applied Sciences (HiOA) twice a year. There are limited numbers of spots for this course, so one must often sign up at least six months before course start.
More information about the course is available on the course page at HiOA (Norwegian page). The requirements to be considered for this course are:
- Applicants must have received a letter from SAK/ SAFH with the refusal of authorization, or a temporary license as a nurse
- Specific requirements regarding Norwegian language skills
The course registration is done in a first-come, first-serve basis, and you must fill out the online application form on the course page to be considered.
The application will not, however, be considered before ALL the documents have been received by the Faculty of Health Sciences.
At the end of the course there are two examinations one must pass. “Test i medikamentregning” is a test you must meet the score of 100%, like all Norwegian nursing students.
This test is to ensure correct math skills in regards of dosage of medications. The second test is a 4-hour test graded on a pass/fail grading system.
This test will examine you in the topics covered in the duration of the course. You are highly advised to not plan on working while you are taking this course, because this is a very intensive course and you will have a better chance at passing the course and get the most out of the course.
Previous experience have been that students believe they can pass the course just by showing up for classes. However, those students are the one who have a higher failing rate.
