I graduated from an associate degree program and as of the moment have 9 months of experience working as a RN in a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) in NJ. (**extra details: worked full time from July 2016 to Nov 2016 and currently part-time). I am expecting to graduate with my BSN from Penn State Online by the end of August 2017 and ideally, would like to immigrate to Australia by end of November or even to the beginning of 2018.
It's been 2 weeks into Googling blogs & reading AHPRA (Nursing & Midwifery Board of Australia) links and the Australian Immigration site, but getting lost as to what category I will be categorized in due to my work experience of less than 1 yr and soon to be a new graduate of a BSN program, as per this link:
I know the job I work in will not support my leaving & may not do a favor in writing me a personal reference... so I'm thinking, would I be able to be considered as a "Recent Graduate" which seems to elude me from needing a personal reference?
Does anyone understand a brief summary of the things to do and the time frame of the entire process? It's all getting me anxious & confusing for me to comprehend this process, as this is the first BIG thing ever for me that I desire to do and actually manifest it (besides getting my RN license! But this was done in a familiar home compared to this new dream).
I would appreciate this nursing community's responses, experiences & advice. Thank you so much for you time to share =)
