Canadian grad nurse want to relocate

Published

Hi, I am a Canadian RN student soon to graduate in 2009, my family and I want to move to Australia. Are there opportunities for a fresh grad without experince? I am told there is a graduate nurse program that will help intergate new nurses in to the system. Can anyone speak to this? or direct me to someone who can. Your knowledge and experince will greatly help. Thanks!

Specializes in CTICU.

I don't know if the grad program is available for foreigners - it's generally organized via a computer matching process for university graduates.

Each state has different rules for this one but as far as I know, they do accept foreign grads, however, their priority is their local grads. At least that is what they told me and my friends when we inquired about the said program.

Hope that helps a bit.
