Nursing outside the UK

[dgmac_80]

Hi all!

I'm a final year nursing student in the UK, 7/8 months away from completing my degree. I am very keen to get on the move however, having long suffered from itchy feet! I have done a fair amount of travelling in the past and i'm looking to do a bit more in the near future, with Canada, NZ, Australia and the US the most likely places. I m particularly interested in Canada and NZ as i have not spent a great deal of time in either place. And of course, i would like to nurse in whichever part of the world i end up in. My question really is how likely it is that i would be able to get a job straight after graduation in any of these countries? ( I know the US is pretty unlikely!). Is there any new graduate schemes in these countries that i could maybe apply for or woulfd it be possible to just apply normally?And if this is the case, how likely is it that i would get a job with no experience?! Sorry about all the questions but i'm very keen to find out as much as i can about this so i can maybe make a start on looking at it seriously.

Thanks again for everyone' time. Any information/ comments would be much appreciated.

Cheers!

Check out the international forum. One of the problems may be your training especially for Canada but the only way to find out is wait until you are qualified and can get your transcripts assessed by which ever country you choose. There are a few threads in the UK/Australia and Canada forums so also check them out.
