US citizen, studying RN in Australia, wants to be registered in US as well

World Registration

Published

Hello there.

I am studying my RN degree in Australia and was wondering if anyone has advice on what steps I would need to take to be registered in the US as well. It is an option that I will eventually move back to the US and I am not finding much information on google on how to do this. I am from Illinois, so I would most likely move back there.

Has anyone received a RN degree from another country and then moved back to America to work as an RN?

Thanks for any help!

Specializes in Medical and general practice now LTC.

We have seen a few Australian nurses post that they are short on obstetrics mainly when trying to register in the US and others have no issues. Would suggest checking out course work and trying to make sure you have both clinical and theory hours in Paeds, Mental Health, Obstetrics and Adult
