HI! I am an US citizen seriously considering getting my BSN in Australia. Does anyone have any idea of the NCLEX pass rates for Australian students? Does anyone know if Australian BSN programs are similar to those in the US? Does anyone know about h...

Joeldew, just thought I'd give you and any others interested an update. I did move to Australia and have been studying at QUT in Brisbane. Overall it has been a positive experience. I will graduate in June 2015. I will probably stay and work here whi...

Thanks Joeldew!

Ongmtam85, thank you. I sent you an email.

Ongmtam85, I am an American. I am considering coming to Australia to study for my entire BSN. Where in Australia did you study? I'm looking at Queensland University of Technology in Brisbane. Where are you taking your extra Paed and Obs? I'm told nur...

Joeldew, Have you kept up with your former American classmate?

I am curious where you studied in Australia for your BSN? I spoke to the head of nursing today at Armstrong Atlantic University located in Savannah, GA. She told me that in the past they have accepted foreign nursing students who are lacking a few ...

Sarah, I read your post and am wondering how it is going for you? I am an American but have received and offer to study in Australia at Queensland University of Technology for my BSN. I am reaching out to people who may have some insight that will he...

ghillbert, are you Australian? If so I would like to talk to you about a topic unrelated to this. Thanks. Carter

Elkpark, you make a valid point.

justbeachynurse and esme12, thank you for your input. Esme12, yes I have looked into accelerated programs, etc. What I find very frustrating in the US is that there are not standardized entry requirements. Every school I look into seems to have a sl...

I am an American currently living in the US. I have been accepted to the nursing program at QUT in Brisbane. from the research i have gathered, it appears that QUT is a highly regarded University. I'm trying to decide whether or not to go. If I go I...

Congratulations! I have been accepted to the nursing program at QUT. I'm trying to decide whether or not to go. If I go I would graduate 10 months earlier than if I stay in the US. The downside is I assume I would have to take some bridge classes ...

Thanks for your input suga_junkie.

Thank you Silverdragon102. Are you Australian or American? I notice you have been practicing a long time. If this doesn't apply to you, do you know an American who studied in Australia that might be willing to talk to me? Thanks! Carter

How did things go for you? I left you a post in another place, but in case you don't see it, here is my situation: I am an American and have been considering coming to Australia for nursing school. D you think that's a huge mistake unless I plan to s...

Stevenyzwife, I am curious how things went for you? I am an American looking at coming to Australia for nursing school. I'm trying to decide if that is a big mistake unless I plan on staying there to practice.

Hi! I am trying to decide whether or not to go to nursing school in Australia. I have been frustrated about the lack of standardization regarding prerequisite requirements for US BSN nursing programs. I have been taking the necessary class for a loca...

JustBeachyNurse, thank you for your reply. The link gave me a tad more info than the NCLEX website I had looked at, but it still doesn't break results down by country. 20 something % pass rate internationally is pretty dismal. I'm hoping Australia is...

DidiRN, thank you for your reply, although it was not quite what I wanted to hear. I have been so frustrated trying to find schools to apply to in the US. Not there aren't a lot, but because the prerequisite requirements are different from school to ...

HI! I am a US citizen. I am seriously considering going to Australia for my BSN degree. Does anyone know how well Australian students do on the NCLEX exam?
