   Funny that a moderator on this international forum would disagree with you: https://allnurses.com/international-nursing/us-rn-moving-361965.html#post3371870 but then again this must be some more inadvertent incorrect info :bowingpur

3. which level of nursing in aus

   NurseJewels replied to wilksjo's topic in International

   Actually it does matter. Registration in Australia requires that you hold a degree in the equivalent of what Australian nurses are required to hold, and that is a 3-year bachelor's degree. I would do some research on this forum and like someone alrea...

4. USA to Australia for temporary stay!?

   NurseJewels replied to NICU_babyRN's topic in International

   Hi Faeriewand! Australia is a big country and the major cities vary in their climate and populations as much as the major cities in the US. It would be like someone from Australia asking us to describe all the major cities in the States and their maj...

   NurseJewels replied to LatinoStudent's topic in International

   Some of the information may not be current. I'm back in San Diego visiting and met up with some of my old managers from one of the Scripps Hospitals. They are definitely on a hiring freeze until after their next budget meeting in January.

7. USA to Australia for temporary stay!?

   NurseJewels replied to NICU_babyRN's topic in International

   I also went through a recruitment agency that helped me set up interviews, etc in Melbourne. The hospitals are paying them to find employees. I never paid anything to the recruiters. It was a fantastic experience and my recruiter still e-mails me per...

   NurseJewels replied to 5kilocat's topic in International

   Good luck on your move from another ex-pat import into Melbourne :) I work for a Healthscope hospital in Melbourne and while the shift to a profit-driven healthcare company took a little while to get used to, I love where I work and most importantly ...

10. Nurse from New Jersey wanting to move to Australia

    NurseJewels replied to blabberbrain's topic in International

    The California BON Website states to allow up to 6 weeks processing time. I'm not sure exactly how long it took because they did not provide me with verification once they sent it, but they did cash my check pretty promptly. Again the processing time...

    NurseJewels replied to 5kilocat's topic in International

    I work for another Healthscope hospital in Melbourne. Only been with them for about 3 months but so far it's been fine. I just have to keep reminding myself coming from the US that private hospitals and their corporates such as Healthscope are in the...

12. Nurse from New Jersey wanting to move to Australia

    NurseJewels replied to blabberbrain's topic in International

    I sent a letter to the California Board of Nursing detailing exactly what I needed them to send to the NBV verfying my registration. I also included the fee that was detailed on the website for verification. If all else fails, call/e-mail your board ...

    NurseJewels replied to AWanderingMinstral's topic in International

    When I was applying I was told by the board that you needed a minimum of a bachelor's degree and not necessarily in nursing, sorry for the confusion there. Then again things may have changed over the last year. Definately contact the Nurses Board of ...
