Australian Pre-registered Nurse wanting new grad role in USA

Nurses Career Support

Published

Hello,

I am an Australian undergraduate pre-registered nurse. I will be completing my nursing degree in Australia in November 2018. I am a US resident and reside in South Carolina. I will be sitting the NCLEX exam in Sydney with Pearson's Education as soon as I complete my studies.

I have been working as a pre-registered nurse (in the USA I presume it is the same as an LPN) for the past year, so I am gaining a lot of practical and clinical skills.

I would like to get a new RN new grad role in Critical Intensive Care sub-specialising in airway management.

Can someone help me in advising me how to go about applying for an RN new grad role? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Specializes in Medical and general practice now LTC.
Hi citrusgrn, I've just transferred out of the University of Sydney to the University of Notre Dame for the reason of Obstetrics, but they call it something different. Its a semester subject with 7 weeks of clinical.

Many, in fact all of the universities in Australia do Obstetrics, which is a shame, Notre Dame is the only one.

But in the meantime, can you find out for me how they did get there. And which Californian hospitals are not so hard to do a grad year, or have they done their grad years in Sydney, Australia.

Thanks very much for the advice and help.

California is a hard state to get registered in, this is especially true for IENS. It is also over saturated with nurses and until in the US with a valid work/immigrant visa and US SSN you can not apply for nurse registration

See you are already a USC so that will help in being able to submit application once you graduate

Oh wow! Looking at your profile and the lies keep coming.

You have 20 years experience in critical care and use bsn in you name but don't even graduate to nov 2018.

You clearly have no idea what your talking about.

Can't believe I wasted my time on a internet troll!!!!!
