contact the RCN and they will give you a guideline. Im a RMN and live in Spain. The biggest hurdle will be learning Spanish, unless of course you have conquered that. Good luck.

First get your qualification. Then You need to speak perfect Spanish and "Convalidate" your qualification. The Spanish Embassy should be able to advise.

it's best to go to spain. because it can be tricky with schools that are overseas because i have heard of cases where american workplaces or schools do not accept some colleges/university credit from some countries. so to be safe go to spain and study since you are already planning to work there for at least 20 years. it's better to be safe than sorry. plus you'll be more familiar with the way things work over there, because in america they might have different standards or procedures or expectations. plus since it is significantly cheaper. it's probably best. but make sure that you are familiar with spain though. maybe know a few words here or there, know the popular ways of commute, what they eat, etc.

I have friends from Europe who has degree in medical field and seeking permanent residency in US, our Goverment is not completely recognized European medical degree, they have to take a few courses (2 years) in US before thay get certify. I would suggest you should continue you education in Spain.

Given that Registered Nurses in North America (as in the US and Canada) have the highest amount of education, training, and responsiblity of any country in the world, I would imagine it would. But, keep in mind, that nurses in other countries (even in Western Europe) don't have the same responsibilites as American nurses do and you may find yourself very limited on what you are allowed to do in the clinical setting.
2 :
Almost all countries will make you at the minimum re-license and probably re-test, and you may even need to take anywhere from one course to a full program. Be aware, that all the drugs have different names in europe. Probably you will have to wait until you actually move there, as trying to do this long distance will be very problematic, not to mention the time difference, language barriers etc.
