confused about next step,BSN,registration,immigration, foreign nurse

Published

Hello

I am Audrey.

My post might be a little long but please do your best to read it through.

I am of Cameroonian nationality, and currently residing in Bangalore (India).

I have done my BSN under Rajiv Gandhi University in Bangalore, joined in 2011 completed in 2015. (Diploma attached as picture 1)

I have been denied Nursing Council Registration (along with all foreign students in Karnataka state)

Decision from Indian Nursing council implemented without prior notification at the end of 2013.

(Protests, complaints at the head office as well as embassies without success. They just don't care.)

They gave us like a certificate, that according to them, will authorize you to be registered in your home country as well as abroad (attached picture 2)

I have applied to be registered in my country (Cameroon) I obtained the attached document number 3 and 4

I have been wanting to work/ continue my education (places of choice New Zealand, Australia, Singapore, Canada, US... mainly English speaking countries)

I have been away from hospitals/practice mainly due to family/personal reasons, but also it gets harder to get an internship as a foreigner.

Doing my own little research the answers came as: you are not an RN or you should start as a fresher, even for bridging programs, you should be registered in India and practice there as well.

Summary:

-I already have a BSN

-I am registered as "INFIRMIERE DIPLOMEE D'ETAT" in my country Cameroon that is supposed to be bachelor level

-I speak fluently English and French

-I have completed 6months of internship after my studies (waiting on my final results)

-My fields of interest are mostly OBGYN, OT, ANAESTHESIA.

I would like to work/go for master mainly and extra certifications in nursing.

1-Being registered in a French speaking country does my registration there is equal to BSN in English speaking countries (how can I know ??)

2-If not , Is it possible at least to make my degree/registration count by reducing the number of years to study?/ credits?

3- I am mostly on my own on this so I have to find an ideal package where I will be able to finance my studies, finish as fast as possible and work.

If any of you has more Knowledge on procedures according to the area where you live, has any advice on how I could make things work for myself with all the information I provided please they will be most welcomed.

I am also available to answer your questions if you need more details on my situation.

Thank you for your time

Audrey.
