The European Union defined processes and norms of educating nurses. Health systems of all European Union countries should adapt to its global health system and reach a stipulated and recognizable quality of medical education. To implement the changes, we need to satisfy the guidelines of the WHO regional office for Europe while simultaneously following EU directives (2005/36/EC and 2013/55/EU), guidelines on acknowledging professional qualifications and the freedom of establishment and the freedom to provide services. This study describes the present state of nursing in the Republic of Croatia in comparison to countries of the European Union. Two EU member countries have been picked for this comparison: Slovenia and the United Kingdom, providing a detailed description of their education systems. Slovenia was chosen as a country with the same education system as Croatia and the United Kingdom as a country in which the development of contemporary nursing began by opening the first nursing school in London in 1860; and today it is the foundation of contemporary nursing in Europe.
