Yes, part-time work is generally allowed during a bachelor's nursing course abroad, but the exact rules depend on the country and your visa conditions.

- In New Zealand, if your bachelor's nursing course is full-time and at least two academic years long leading to a Level 4 or higher qualification, you can work up to 25 hours per week during academic terms and full-time during scheduled breaks. Nursing degrees typically meet these criteria.
- In the UK, for a full-time bachelor's degree like nursing, you can work up to 20 hours per week during term time and full-time during official vacation periods.
- In Australia, international students can work up to 24 hours per week during study periods and full-time during breaks, provided they maintain full-time enrolment.

Always check your specific student visa conditions to confirm your allowed work hours and any restrictions. If you want, Leap can help you understand the exact work rights for your chosen country and course.
