I'm just curious how a Licensed Practical Nurse would go about applying for a career in Australia for Nursing. ALso I'm sure the Job title is different and if anyone would know what a LPN would be in Australia. I've been dying for years to go thre with my Husband and Two Kids. Thanks in advance, Any other information is greatly welcome!
Sincerely

LPN is known as Enrolled nurses in Australia. You would need to register with the state nursing board but not sure how you would stand for a work visa

I believe you need to be an RN for immigration purposes to Australia. We do have "enrolled nurses" (or they are called "Registered Nurse, Division 2" some places).
You need to narrow down what state you are interested in, and contact their nursing board.
