2.5 years or 5 semesters at a community college costing 0-10k is the fastest route from scratch and the one I took. If someone already has a bachelor's (4 year degree) they can take an accelerated nursing bachelor's program for 30-60k which can take as little as 12 months. 1 year of work experience post graduation is the minimum to travel. EU salaries seem to generally be lower than those in the US, but with healthcare the difference is extreme with Switzerland being the only exception I'm personally aware of.
