Hi,

I graduated from india in 2001(from chennai).I guess once you get your graduation certificate from the college/university.You have to take that to the nursing council and do the registration there.I dont think you need to take any test for becoming a registered nurse in india.

Good Luck!!!

In India, When u pass ur annual 3 rd year exam from a nursing board & when u get ur mark-sheet & Diploma Certificate with ur Nursing License, that it.. You are a Registered Nurse in INDIA.

As far as i know, In India once you have passed all the requirements and graduated from the nursing school, automatically you will be a registered nurse. In some country such as Philippines, after the graduation you have to pass the board exam before you will be registered in the regulatory board. That is the time you could use the RN title.
