I am about to start nursing school and I am concerned about policies towards people with HIV. My partner is HIV positive and I am therefore at a relatively high risk for infection. If I become infected is my nursing career then over? I am hoping to be a traveling nurse and work in Australia and The UK. Has anyone ever heard of someone being denied a work visa because of their HIV status?

Hello I have lived in Australia before and loved it. I live in the USA now and I am trying to get accepted to nursing school. My plan is to get my associates degree in nursing from a community college here in 2 years then pass the NCLEX and become a RN here in Washington USA. After one year of working here in the USA I would like to try to move to Australia. Here is my BIG question. Will my 2 year nursing degree and one year of work experience be enough to land me a nursing Job in a major Australian city. I know that I will be competing against lots of people that have more years of experience and who also have BSN degrees. Unfortunately I do not have the time or the money to get a BSN. I am entering the job market at the ripe old age of 40. What are my Job prospects with an associates degree?
