Nursing in California - Aussie Nurse - Process

World Registration

Published

Hi Everyone,

I am an Australian Citizen (Nurse - RN), residing in Australia. I had recently visited CA for a holiday and my kids liked the place. So I have planned to take up employment in the USA - CA. I have done a bit of googling for info. Seems Aussies can apply for a E3 Visa. Request to know what is the best way to get to CA. Are employment agents the way to go. Can anyone suggest a reputable agent. Then again i have stumbled with the SSN that is now required to register with the CA-BON. Is anybody out there that can break it down to a easy to understand. End of this thread will lie the answer. Can we go or break the bad news to the kids. Request your time and advice for the same.

Hi I am a recent graduate from Newcastle university in NSW and my husband has just been selected to play for the Hawaiian College Footbqll team we will be moving Jan 2014. To add to my constant worries we are currently living in the UK as he plays professional rugby over here so I haven't had the chance to get a new grad year : ( I have been looking through the process. I am aware that we need to do further study however I am a bit puzzled.... I would like to know:

1. Has anyone passed CGFNS without doing further study? As I studied a subject called "sexuality and families: which incorporated paediatrics and maternity health. I also completed 4 weeks of paediatrics and 2 weeks of maternity placement. Do you think this will be enough?

2. Should I apply to CGFNS first then wait to see if i require further study or start the search for a university to complete these modules? I know it can be a costly process thats all.

Sorry for all the questions but i am so worried where to start?

thanks : )
