I don't see any problem with your plans. Many students come from all over the world to receive their education here in America. You are just doing it the other way around. I'm (almost certain) that any degree you receive in an accredited college here, will be accepted there(or anywhere).

I THINK YOU NEED A BS. YOU MAY WELL LEARN THAT THE PAY WILL BE LOWER THERE. A PERSON I KNOW WITH APPROXIMATELY 20 YEARS TEACHING EXPERIENCE, MOVED TO GB. SHE CHOSE NOT TO TEACH AS THE PAY WAS SO LOW. NOT AS MUCH AS A STORE CLERK.

The above answerer has no IDEA what they are talking about. First of all, Ireland is not in Great Britain (duh). Second, salaries in Ireland and actually great in medicine and teaching, you just have to make sure you go over there legally. The very good news is that they REALLY need medical professionals (mainly because all of the recent immigration from Eastern Europe), so you're in excellent shape there. Here is a copy of an email that was sent to me by someone at the fas (the government agency that controls career development in Ireland): "I would recommend that you log onto www.fas.ie and access the Jobs Ireland section which has a facility which allows Jobseekers to upload their CV's. You will also be able to review the range of job opportunities available through FAS. Other useful careers websites are www.recruitireland.com, and www.loadzajobs.ie The Irish Times, Irish Examiner and Irish Independent newspapers, each produce a weekly supplement on Job Opportunities - their respective website addresses are www.ireland.com; www.unison.ie and www.examiner.ie. As you are probably aware US citizens require a work permit to work in Ireland, full details in relation to this area are available on www.entemp.ie under the work permits section, and I would also recommend that you access information on living and working in Ireland under the consular services section on www.ireland.emb.org." Because you're looking into pediatric nursing, all requirements and other info can be found at http://www.nursingboard.ie. Good luck!
