if I get my bachelor's degree in nursing abroad is it less credited than a USA degree?
I want to go to university in New Zealand to get my bachelor's in nursing. I am from the USA now and am wondering if I did go to New Zealand, would my degree be significantly less impressive than a degree from the USA? thanks! and I am fairly smart too; I would not be going to an ivy league back in the states, but a fairly good school.

You'd most likely need to get licensed in the US upon returning, but NZ and other foreign (European especially) schools are actually as good as or even better than their US counterparts.

You might have to take some licensing exam but that should be pretty easy with NZ or Australian nursing qualifications. I have friends who qualified in nursing in Australia and are working in the USA, and even Australia has plenty of USA qualified nurses. I cannot recall any of them complaining about difficulties in finding jobs in either Australia or the USA. You should be OK Hope it helps.
