Nursing in Belgium

Hi,
I am Belgian living in the United States. I am a Registered Nurse (with a Bachelor in Nursing from the USA).

We are currently considering moving back to Belgium.

I would like to know if an RN from the USA can get an equivalence of diploma to work in Belgium.

Has anyone already gone through the process ?

That is possible.  I know one person who works as a nurse here and she received her diploma in the U.S. and Belgium recognized her diploma.  Unfortunately, I am no longer in contact with that person and I can't tell you who exactly to contact or how the process goes.  I do know the process can take from 6 months to a year, so it isn't something that is going to happen quickly.
