Working Holiday as RN?

[ruri10743]

Hi!

I'm seeking an opportunity to gain a bedside RN experience in Australia. I've been researching a visa for Australia and the registration process, but it seems like very expensive and long. Then I saw a post related to the working holiday.

So my question is,

Is it possible for US trained nurse to get a RN job if there is any chance? (Working holiday case only)

If I can, how can I get certified as a RN to work there?

Thank you!

@ Scooby-dooby-doo Hi there!Hope all is well! My name is Aqueelah and I saw on the UCLA RN Residency program 2013 forum, that you interviewed and received the position for liver transplant/SICU! So happy for you, Congrats! I wanted to ask about your experience with the interview process, the types of questions, time line etc. My interview is next week! So excited!

Also, how is everything going for you thus far?

This has nothing to do with the thread and may get lost in discussion better to start thread in the state forum

Thank you for your concern... I'm trying to connect with someone in this thread and thought that this could be a good way! Thanks again

So I'm looking into getting a working holiday visa and registering with AHPRA as well. For those of you who have gone through the registration process with AHPRA, I have a question for you.

In section I: English language skills requirements where it asks for a certified copy of your academic transcripts, did you get your transcripts certified or were you able use the transcript the institution sent you in one of their sealed envelopes. It just seems strange, for them to want a certified copy when they can have the real thing, sealed from the school. Maybe it's just a canadian school thing where you can request your transcripts come that way...

Hey there, I realize this was posted a long time ago, but wanted to ask you if you remembered what you submitted to prove all of your school and education things? The website is not very clear about specifics or how things are "look" as it were.

I am about to send my AHPRA applicaiton via mail this week. The revised application did not specify that I had to send in transcripts since I graduated from an English-speaking program in California. I did attach a certified copy of my BSN degree.
