   Clarissa26 replied to caramel's topic in International

   Hi, well I have been in contact with Geneva health so I am sure they operate down here in Australia, since I live in Queensland :) . They have been very helpful so far, I am only in the initial stages of the process, I need to make up hours in paeds...

2. Make up courses for US registration

   Clarissa26 replied to Clarissa26's topic in International

   Well here we go again. I was just going to let it go at what Suzanne had said, but I thought I'd better double check with the university, so I called Deakin. Now, apparently the agencys had told them that the courses were accepted, but that wasn't ...

   Well, I trained an an EN before completing my RN training, with both being on the ward is always a big step up, but then step from being on the ward as a student to being a nurse on the ward is even bigger. I have to say that having your preceptor in...

   I am planning a move to the UK from Australia next year and want to go to the USA after that, I have only one problem. I have to make up theory and practical hours in both paeds and maternity nursing, I am having trouble finding any courses here so ...

5. Nursing in the military

   Clarissa26 posted a topic in International

   I have a collegue who is interested in going in to the military as a registered nurse. He doesn't have a computer and I have been unable to find much information that he wants, he just wants to know a bit about the basic training, how long, what sor...

6. Make up courses for US registration

   Clarissa26 replied to Clarissa26's topic in International

   Well if thats the case I do not think there are any courses here that will cover that because every course I have come across you have to find your own prac placement. I don't know why the company would put nurses on to courses that wouldn't end up ...

7. Make up courses for US registration

   Clarissa26 replied to Clarissa26's topic in International

   Well I was given a phone number by a recruitment agency and I don't think it would be appropriate to give that out here, but if you did a general enquiry email to the school of nursing that should get some results. One warning, it is apparently not ...

   Well good news, Deakin University offer makeup courses in both paeds and maternity, $600 a module, with you needing to do two modules for each area. They make these running three semesters per year. They do cover your indemnity insurance, but you m...

9. Overseas agencies

   Clarissa26 replied to Clarissa26's topic in International

   Well if only it was that easy, but it's not. It is a requirement to have hours in theory and practical in both obstetrics and paediatrics before you can even be eligible to take the NCLEX, neither of which I have or can find.

    Clarissa26 replied to Clarissa26's topic in International

    I wrote to a Canadian nursing board, if you have a bachelor degree then it is equivilant to the BSN degree in Canada and the USA, assuming the hours for paeds etc are included. So I just have to catch up on those hours and I'm good to go, with any l...

11. Canada Vs USA

    Clarissa26 replied to Clarissa26's topic in International

    Just wish I knew for sure if my degree is equivalent to the BSN in Canada and the USA, I have just never been able to find anything on comparing them.

12. Canada Vs USA

    Clarissa26 replied to Clarissa26's topic in International

    I have changed my plans a little, I have decided to go to the UK at the end of the year for a while, I am sure if I can't find a course here to cover my obstetrics and paeds, I'll find something there. It will also get me acclimatised to the cold as...

13. Canada Vs USA

    Clarissa26 replied to Clarissa26's topic in International

    I can't afford to go to the states for a few months without working to get my obstetrics and paediatrics hours, it would take me forever to save up the money needed for not only the courses but also living expenses. I wish I could do it, it would ma...

15. Canada Vs USA

    Clarissa26 posted a topic in International

    Well I have been looking around here and it seems both the USA and Canada have different advantages. One of the big things is the USA is next to impossible for me to get into as I haven't got any obstetrics training and am finding it hard to get the...
