US nurse moving to Australia

World Registration

Published

Hello all!

I am currently a nurse in the US with 8months experience. By the time I move to Australia, I will have about 1.5 years of experience as an oncology nurse. I am a little lost as to the whole process of transferring my license, and what steps to take. Also, is it even possibly to find a nursing job with only 1.5 years experience. I also worked as a tech on a med/surg floor for 3yrs prior to obtaining my BSN and specializing in oncology. Any and all advice would be great. Thanks in advance!
