hi,

i'm new to this site and thought i'd say hello and is currently a 1st year student nurse. I have goals and one of them is to become a RN and move to the states. my question/ problem is that I am aware that u need to be a RGN with theory, practice in all branches pedatrics, adult, mental and i think some midwifery. I am doing adult branch and not sure this is going to b enough. can any give me some advice or some possibilities

Specializes in intensive care, recovery, anesthetics.

What I know from collegues the adult branch gives you the least of all possibilities, and you might not cover peds, mental and obstetrics, if your goal is indeed the States or another country that requires a "real RGN", maybe you should consider switching the branch or do an additional year.

Or you can try to do your electives in the areas that you will need for the US. You will also have plenty of time to make up the hours later on as you are going to be looking at several years before you will have a chance at a green card.

I would not focus on any of this at this time.
