Transferring from USA to Australia

Published

Hi,

Currently, I am studying nursing in the USA. I am doing an Associate degree in Nursing. I am planning to transfer Australia after completing my Associate degree in Nursing. Can anyone help me with the process and I also want to know about the course transfer. Can I study BSN in Australia after completing ADN in the USA?

Hello

Your best course of action is to firstly get a copy of the all the units you are studying for your ADN and the content that they cover and then contact university admissions at the universities that you are looking at studying at in Australia. THey will be able to let you know which units for a BSN that you will get recognition of prior learning, admission requirements, cost for international students etc.

It is unlikely that you will be able to be a RN in Australia with an ADN as it will probably not meet the registration standards (if you were planning to work as an RN whilst studying your BSN)

If you are wanting to move and work in Australia you are probably better off doing your BSN in the US, and then working for a year or two and then moving. The graduate market in Australia is very tight at the moment.

No such thing as transfer license from one country to another. You have to apply and meet their requirements
