Thanks a lot!! Appreciate your feedback. I'll check out Deakin. My husband and I might relocate to CA in a few years so I'll check with the DOH. Gosh it's really frustrating. I was thinking of just doing an Associate degree at a community collage and getting my RN. I'll be in touch. Thanks again everyone!

Hey Trisanah! I'm glad i've finally found someone that is in a very similar situation as me. I arrived in Seattle at the end of last year from Melbourne. I graduated from Latrobe University. I didn't get a chance to work in Aus because of the move. My application for registration was denied yesterday because my degree didn't cover pediatrics and obstetrics as core subjects. You might end up in a similar situation. I've been scrambling to look for colleges that offer just these subjects without having to do a full program. Let's keep in touch!

Hi all! I graduated from Latrobe University in Australia and is now in Seattle, WA. My application for registration was denied stating that I don't have the course work in paediatrics and obstetrics. Does anyone know if the department of health approves doing short courses for just these subjects? Can anyone suggest a college in Washington State that actually offers such a course for foreign nurses? Thanks!

Hi all! I graduated from Latrobe University in Australia and is now in the States. I have the same problem as most of you - not having the course work in paediatrics, obstetrics (and even physics, chemistry and microbiology!). My application was denied because of this. Does anyone know if the department of health approves doing short courses for just these subjects? I'm really distraught Thanks!
