Is RN a nurse? Is there such a thing as student debt in most of Europe, even, unless you want to go abroad or attend super expensive private universities (and a nurse would do neither, I suppose)?

Certainly not the same order of magnitude as US student debt (IIRC median is 20,000 and average is higher).

As far as I understand residence, being a RN means working like a dog for essentially no pay - in any country, be it Sweeden, Canada, the United States, or China.

Pointing at a RN to make an economic point is like pointing at the Wall Street interns pulling 130 hour weeks for lunch money as an example of how the poor financial industry is overworked, and underpaid.

In Denmark its not strictly necessary but many do so they can afford an apartment instead living in a dorm and/or more expensive lifestyle. Its cheap money though. After education its only the the states lending rate + 1%.
