Had a massive storm in Brisbane yesterday. My back yard was littered with hail stones. I've never seen that much hail - it was actually terrifying because it kept buffeting my windows. No damage for me luckily.

Hi, K+MgS04

I found the fact that you were a nurse in Ireland, is that right ?

I would like to know about Bachelor of nursing (international) for one year course in Ireland.

I studied Diploma of Enrolled nursing in Australia back in the yrs and now am trying to transfer a college which offers the BN(international) course and it takes one full time year.

I'm just curious about the registration on APHRA with this degree. Did that association need you to do many jobs like offering nursing experience or degree .. that sort of.

I am South Korean and will plan to get BN degree in Ireland and want to work in Australia but needs to be registered on APHRA as far as I know but only one thing what I can do at this stage is getting BN and to register on APHRA, do you think it is possible ?

To be registered as RN on APHRA needs working experience ? or is that okay with BN degree from Ireland to be registered on the board? Could you answer the questions for me ?

I have no idea of the course requirements for international nurses to be able to register in Ireland. Why would you want to study in Ireland and then registration in Australia. Its sounds like you are putting a lot more work on yourself studying in ireland then going through the international registration process.

I registered before AHPRA existed, when it was state boards, as I did my undergraduate degree in Ireland I was over qualified for minimum standards required. I had experience for 2 years in Ireland when I registered.

Apart from AHPRA requiring experience most metro hospitals on the east coast will not take you on without experience as there is a glut of inexperienced nurses who are local and there is no need to sponsor anyone.

Best of luck.

Thanks for the answers. It sounds like it is kinda hard to get a job although I register on APHRA ?

But I think once I get bachelor degree in Ireland, there is no any needs required to be a register nurse there. Was there any difficulty working as a nurse in Ireland back in the yrs compared to Australian nursing for you ? How different ? Could you tell me please :)

All the best.

You need to register in the country you qualify in. AHPRA is required to get employment. My nursing in Ireland was as a junior RN, wgen I came to Australia I progressed professionally so I cannot compare.
