Hi A.B Did you end up working in Maryland? I am about to graduate nursing school from Australia, but may want to work over there and was wondering if you were able to use the NY license to get endorsed in Maryland?

Hello! I'm an Australian citizen living in the US pursuing an RN degree. I finished all my prerequisites for the ADN program and I'm waitlisted. There is a high chance that I'll be getting into the program in the Spring 2021. However, my end goal is moving back to Australia. I have a 2.5 year old and think that raising a family is easier in Australia where all my family is. So I'm thinking of just moving to Australia and doing either a Masters in nursing or a bachelors, instead of having to go through the nursing program here and attempt to get registered with the board of nursing in Australia after. Another thing is I have heard that it can be difficult to get registered with the board of nursing if you don't have the required 800 hours of clinicals (my community college only has about 500 hours)? Therefore I am conflicted, and want to know what it's like studying nursing in Australia compared to studying nursing in America?
