Formal recognition of diplomas in the Swiss healthcare system is not mandatory for nursing professions. We advise Filipinos and Filipinas if they have questions about diplomas and recognized training.
We recommend that you have your EU diploma recognized by the Swiss Red Cross. After a successful probationary period, we will refund any necessary recognition.
We are always on the lookout for Swiss hospitals and healthcare facilities
