Swedish nurse going to Australia

Published

Hi!

I am currenly studying nursing in Sweden, and I will be graduating in the beginning of next year. I am interested in working in Australia once i have graduated. However, since I have not yet graduated I will have no practical experience working as a nurse, more than the normal prac that the nursing has offered me as a part of my degree. Will that make it harder for me to find a job in Australia? I do have experience working as a nurses assistant for some years before I went to nursing school. What are the preferences? Im seeking to find a job in WA, perth region.

Hej hej min vän!

To work in Australia, the Nursing Boards have changed into national registration last summer, so you'll need to consult their website for information and detail

http://www.nursingmidwiferyboard.gov.au/

In short, you need to have a Bachelor's degree or equivalent in nursing, taken and pass an English langauge exam, and must have had nursing experience in your country before you can register.

Look at the link provided there.

I also want to try working in Australia as a nurse once I finish nursing school.
