What is the difference between an MSN and MNSc? Did you go to University of Melbourne or another school in Melbourne? So that is surprising to me you had a NP in AU and had to do the whole MSN degree over in the US? So how long is the program you are doing in the US to get your NP? Thanks so much for your reply! Elizabeth

Scarah, Thank you so much for your reply, that is very helpful. I was curious if you could tell me if you have any Americans in your class or even better if you know of any americans in the MSN program below you? I am curious about their experiences with the program and perspectives from them on why they choose the program, future plans with their nursing career etc. Also what are your career plans as a nurse now that you have graduated? I have been told that Uni of Melb is considered very pestigeous compared to other Universities in Melbourne/Australia. Do you feel like this is true for the nursing program? Do you feel like you are better prepared than some other nurses getting BSN degrees from other Universities in AU? thanks so much for your help! Elizabeth

So.... I am currently undecided about where I will spend the majority of my career nursing, which is why I am considering the MSN program at Melbourne. I am also interested in the pursueing a Nurse Practioner degree at some point. I am wondering if I got my MSN from Melbourne then at some point in the future wanted to get my NP from a US university, is a US university going to recognize my degree from AU or would this be a very difficult transition to make?

Hi, I am an American who has recently been accepted to the Uni of Melb MSN program. It is for individuals like myself who have a bachelor degree in another field interested in a career in Nursing. Anyhow I am interested if anyone know anything about this program? Either people enrolled or know people enrolled, or know anything about it really? Any infor would be greatly appriciated? Also on another topic does anyone know if it is a difficult process to practice as a nurse in the US with a degree from AU? Thanks! Elizabeth

Hi, I have been accepted to the University of Melbourne Entry level MSN program. I would be very interested in hearing from anyone who has gotten a nursing degree in Australia and has then gone to practice in the US? I am curious how difficult this is? Also I am curious if anyone has knowledge as to whether AU nursing degree program are considered to be on the same level as US nursing nursing degree programs or inferior? I love Australia and use to live there and that is the reason I am looking to go to school over there. However I really would like to have the option to come back and practice nursing in the US if I want to. If anyone has any info that would be helpful regarding all of this I would greatly appreciate it. thanks! Elizabeth
