Filipino RN to Australia

World Registration

Published

Hello there! :cat: I'm a Registered Nurse from the Philippines. I haven't worked as a nurse yet, which means I still don't have experience. Well, I wanted to work as nurse in Australia. I have a plan to take NCLEX-RN in Australia.

I just wanna ask, what are the requirements for NCLEX-RN in Australia? Does it require clinical experience as a RN in the Philippines?

The NCLEX RN is only for those wishing to be licensed as an RN in the United States. (And soon a Canadian version later this year) taking the NCLEX is irrelevant to becoming licensed or working as a nurse in Australia. Your education and credentials need to be assessed by APHRA. You need to prove competence and proficiency in English via IELTS.

Moved to the Nurse Registration forum,

Plenty of threads discussing process for Australia suggest grabbing something to drink and having a good read
