want to work as EEN but with Bachelors degree in nursing in the Philippines


hi. I just want to ask, is it possible to work as an Endorsed enrolled nurse (EEN) even though i haven't studied diploma in nursing in australia but i have my bachelors of nursing degree here in the philippines? i'm planning to take my master of nursing there so that i will be eligible for registration as a rn.. but the course is too expensive and working as an EEN will help me finance my studies.. if it's possible to work as an EEN there although i have my Bachelors degree here, what are the steps can i carry out? thanx

Welcome

You will still have to meet the state requirements. I would suggest reading the thread on working in Australia as I am sure I have seen mention of EEN

Your training meets the requirements for licensure in Australia if you have the BSN. Why would you wish to work at a lower level when you have had the training?

And if you take the time to do some reading here, you will find that you do not need to get the Master's degree there for licensure as an RN.

You will be required to have a local license, no way around that. So this means that you are going to need to sit for the NLE. Working as an EEN would probably be difficult since the Philippines does not recognize the LPN or equivalent and there is no local license for you to be able to take first.

Have the NLE passed and a local license, then all you need to complete if you do not have at least two years of work experience is the six month assessment program, or the series of assessments that can be done over a few different days.

Please just take the time to do some reading on this site. Has already been discussed many times over.
