I would imagine so. They would have to learn french of course.

No - there's no agreement on equivalence of diplomas between US & France probably - And your US diploma should be registered by the sanitary local authority - mainly if you want to work as a free nurse - 2. Ressortissants de pays extérieurs à l’Union européenne Les étrangers diplômés de tous les pays extérieurs à l’Union doivent passer le concours d’entrée dans un IFSI (Institut de Formation en Soins Infirmiers). Les centres de formation IFSI sont ouverts aux ressortissants étrangers selon un quota (2 % des admis en première année), après réussite à un concours spécifique dont les épreuves, organisées par les DRASS, se composent : - d’une épreuve d’admissibilité comprenant cinq questions de culture générale qui seront aussi un test sur le niveau de français ; - puis de deux épreuves d’admission consistant en une épreuve orale en français et une épreuve de mise en situation. Pour se présenter aux épreuves, les candidats doivent retirer un dossier d’inscription à l’IFSI de leur choix (voir leur liste à la fin de cette fiche). Ce dossier, est à retourner complété à la même adresse, accompagné de ces documents : - photocopie de leur diplôme d’infirmier (l’original sera fourni lors de l’admission en formation); - programme des études suivies, nombre d’heures de cours par matière et par année de formation, durée et contenu des stages cliniques effectués au cours de la formation ainsi que dossier d’évaluation continue, tous documents délivrés et attestés par une autorité compétente du pays où les études ont été poursuivies ; - curriculum vitæ du candidat et lettre de motivation en français. L’ensemble de ces pièces doit être traduit en français par un traducteur assermenté. En cas de succès aux épreuves, les étudiants effectueront deux années de scolarité,

I suggest you read the requirements for foreign nationals wishing to work in the nursing profession that can be found here (in English): http://editions.campusfrance.org/filieres/en/infirmier1_en.pdf

If I obtain an associates in applied sciences for nursing here in the US, would it be difficult to get a nursing job in European countries like Sweden, France, England, etc.? What about in Canada?

They may accept your diploma, although a four year degree is stronger, but you may have trouble getting a work visa. Check with the French Consulate in Washington. good luck
2 :
Well last time i checked, being in the 10th grade does not qualify you as a R.N. and it is against the law to pose as one when your not!!!!!
3 :
One week ago you said you were 16 years old. Did you start college at age 10? An American BSN degree may be accepted if you can pass their license examination and speak fluent French.
