No new rule since october 2014.most australian trained nurses go on a contract basis with an agency directly 2 a designated hospital, primarily because of visa issues, therefore different avenue. i mean australian trained nurses who r from uk just returning home and trying 4 a job on their steam.just didnt realise between australia ( commonwealth country)and uk that it would be so difficult to register.

They say being a registered nurse is a great job.you can travel all over the world with thisjob.Well i am starting 2 think otherwise. Born in uk left like many as a teen with my family to Australia.Bachelors degree in health science- nursing and 10 yrs nursing experience under my belt.now i just want 2 go home.alot of form filling police checks etc waiting & waiting or so i thought. Told 4 exam process.1st and 2nd exam online.ok i thought fine but not happy however.Exam 3 english test ( knew this as australia has same rule.not worried about this exam). But wait theres more! Then you wait to see if you have passed.then 4th and last exam.here lies the problem.practical exam to be advised when first 3 parts cleared , a practical day exam at the university of northampton.u serious i thought surely not.total cost £1400.excluding flights 2 england as i will be living in NI and accomodation near university 4 night b4 and after.Are u 4 real i thought.But yes its real.
