Job in Denmark

Danish nursing registration

Foreign educated nurses must hold a Danish authorization to be able to use the title nurse in Denmark. If you want to work as a nurse in Denmark, you must therefore apply for registration and obtain a Danish authorization as a nurse.

In Denmark it is only 'The Danish Patient Safety Authority' (in Danish 'Styrelsen for Patientsikkerhed') that have permission to issue the authorizations, and you must apply for authorization directly through 'The Danish Patient Safety Authority'.

Please notice that the authorization process and the required documentation depend on the country in which you are a national and the country in which you are qualified as a nurse.
