Yes, it is possible. First verify your qualifications with the appropriate nursing council. Once you have registration you can apply directly to the hospitals or agencies for jobs.
Hi, may I know how long does it normally take to be able to register. IS there an examinations I have to passed to be able to register ?
I depends on the state but most are "competency based" so that it is an examination of practical skills. RE-entry is anything from 3 months to 1 year.
Yes, they do and some are pertinent to particular countries. Where are you from? For example, Charles Darwin has a stream for nurses from the Phillipines and Griffith University has a stream for Singaporean students. You just have to shop around. Your consulate should know, though.
Purely depends on State/country - you need to examine each individually. They different registeration boards assess your degree/qualification and will let you know if and what other training is required to register with them. In NSW we have some foriegn registered nurses do programs through the College of Nursing that taylors a program based on identified needs by the Nurses Registration Board.
