US ADN RN wanting to move to Australia

Nurses Career Support

Published

Hello,

I am an ER RN registered in California USA, wanting to travel to Australia as an ER RN. I have four years of experience but only an associate's degree in nursing here in the states. Do I need to complete an RN to BSN bridge before applying to AHPRA for my Australian Nursing License, or is there a chance I could get approved with an associate's degree in the states and my experience level? Not sure where to begin with this process. I also read that you can apply, get rejected, and get recommended to a bridging program. I just want to get through this process as quickly as possible. Thank you, and I look forward to hearing from someone!
