Nursing Abroad

World Registration

Published

So I will be graduating college in May 2016 with a bachelors degree in psychology. My boyfriend lives in Australia and I wish to move there and attend Queensland University of Technology to get my bachelors degree in Nursing. They have a two year program that is the accelerated track which is the one I would be doing. I am aware that nursing in Australia does not typically cover OB and pediatrics. So I have heard that once I came back to the US I would have to take classes in those two to make sure I am qualified before taking the NCLEX. I was wondering if anyone has gone through this process and could give me some insight on it. Also, I am a US citizen.
