Looking for Australian nurses in New Jersey!

Published

Is there any Australian-trained RN's out there who are currently working in New York or New Jersey? Please get in touch if you are Aussie and working as a nurse in the US! I am currently having my credentials looked at by CGFNS as I am hoping to move and work in the US (New York or New Jersey) in the near future. Any info or advice would be much appreciated!

Hello NRSKarenRN,

Please would you know any college in NJ where I can take courses in maternal / infant nursing as deficient courses reported by CGFNS after CES they did on my qualifications as RN from Australia?

I have contacted many colleges but it appears they want me to undertake 3-year BSN degree program all over again despite already having my bachelors in nursing from Australia and even worked as RN there before moving to NJ. I will appreciate your advice on this.

Thanks

Yinks

Deficient course in maternal / infant nursing seems to be a common problem with internationally educated nurses. I'm not aware of any collegiate nursing program in NJ permitting just this one course.
