Abstract

The objective was to evaluate master level nurse education in Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden in relation to educational convergence and the professional status of nurses. A qualitative literature review was conducted and during 2009 to 2012, official databases, concerning European and national educational initiatives, were searched to identify educational convergence in specific in nurse education. In the 4 Scandinavian countries, nursing education is structured on higher educational levels in accordance with the Bologna Process and Tuning Project frameworks. However, national legacies are dominant. In Denmark and Finland, segregation between the academia and the professional is conspicuous overall, whereas in Norway and Sweden, integrative initiatives are significant. Educational convergence has not been obtained. Obstacles are due to dual structures, differences in academic levels, and division of tasks in specific in master’s level higher education.
