The European Higher Education Area (EHEA) has aimed at unifying, harmonizing, and ensuring consistency of higher education systems in Europe for over two decades. The objective of this study was to investigate the similarities and differences in the training programs of nurses in selected EHEA member countries.
Comparative analysis was used. Based on three sources: research articles, internet databases, and emails sent to nursing education institutions. Three databases, namely Science Direct, PubMed, and ERIC, were utilized.
Regarding educational institutions, the majority of countries' nurses graduated with a Bachelor's degree, except for Estonia, Russia, and North Macedonia. Russia had the shortest education duration (2 years and 10 months), while other member countries had programs lasting between 3-4 years. In countries where colleges were still active, diploma or certificate programs were offered, such as in Estonia and Russia. Only North Macedonia did not offer any continuing education for nurses, and Estonia, Latvia, and France did not have PhD programs in nursing.
Nurses constitute the largest occupational group in healthcare, and the quality of medical care relies on their theoretical and practical training. Despite efforts to unify nursing curricula through the Bologna Process, significant differences still exist.
二十多年来，欧洲高等教育区（EHEA）一直致力于统一、协调并确保欧洲高等教育系统的一致性。本研究的目的是调查选定的EHEA成员国护士培训项目的异同。
采用比较分析法。基于三个来源：研究文章、互联网数据库以及发送给护理教育机构的电子邮件。使用了三个数据库，即科学Direct、PubMed和ERIC。
在教育机构方面，除爱沙尼亚、俄罗斯和北马其顿外，大多数国家的护士以学士学位毕业。俄罗斯的教育时长最短（2年零10个月），而其他成员国的项目持续时间为3至4年。在仍有学院活跃的国家，提供文凭或证书课程，如爱沙尼亚和俄罗斯。只有北马其顿没有为护士提供任何继续教育，爱沙尼亚、拉脱维亚和法国没有护理博士项目。
护士是医疗保健领域最大的职业群体，医疗服务质量依赖于他们的理论和实践培训。尽管通过博洛尼亚进程努力统一护理课程，但仍存在显著差异。
