Can I get a primary nursing position?

[xieciying]

I am a nurse with 3 years working experience (mainly in surgeries) in Beijing, P.R. China.

Since my husband and I are planning to move to Astralia, I want to know whether I could get a nursing job.

I was graduated from Xingtai Medical College, majored in Advanced Nursing.

And I have the qualification of being a nurse in China.

With this license, I undertake the duty which is equal to Registered Nurse in Australia.

I had worked in an eye hospital for 2.5 years, and now I am working in a women's hospital near half year.

Since lack of practise, my oral English is poor.

There are some questions I want to ask:

1 Are there any Chinese language hospitals in Australia?

2 Can I get a primary nursing position in a hospital without an Australian nursing license?

3 How can I get the Australian license to become a Registered Nurse? and how long does it cost?

By the way our destination is Sydney.

You need to meet Australian requirements to work as a nurse and that will be get a Australian license, meet the requirements for the nursing board for the state you plan to live. You will also need to pass a English exam.

There is much written in the International forum regarding licensure for Australia suggest a good read
