im thinking of moving from australia from usa is it best to go with an agency or get a hospital to sponsor methanks in advance:uhoh3:

You need to take NCLEX to practice RN in US. Then find a hosp. that can sponsor you.

If u are from U.S and want to practice here in Au u need to register as RN in Aphra just google the website.

Several posts moved to a thread on it's own as off topic to the original thread.

Meeting APHRA requirements is a must to work as a RN in Australia and can take longer than 24 weeks to get through the process and meet requirements

I do not think nursing degrees from Thailand are recognised in Australia at all. I have never met a nurse educated in Thailand one or two that have been educated in Australia.

Learning to be more successful in english will not lead you immediately to a job as a nurse in Melbourne, you will need to be very efficient in english and have an IELTS english test of 7 in all bands, you will then need to apply to National nurses board under the aconym of AHPRA to have your nursing degree assessed. This will take at least 8 weeks to 9 months!

You will then need to do some sort of education as recommended by AHPRA, and only then after gaining registration as a nurse in Australia can you approach hospitals for a sponsorship visa for you to stay and work in Australia.

Melbourne hospitals seem to have closed the door on sponsorship unless you have experience in theatre.
