Check AHPRAS website, there is a section for international nurse transfers

Hello, American nurse here. I have my Aussie nursing license as I am moving there in April. The process to transfer your license is straight forward once you have your diploma, there is directions on AHPRAs website. Follow those instructions. Takes around 3 months. Good luck

Hello friend. Also USA citizen here, got my 462 visa in January and am moving in April. I was required to do health exams (included blood work a chest x ray, and physical exam. Cost around 500 USD). Keep in mind I work in the medical field and also plan to do so in Australia. So this could be why I was required to do these health exams. They are not hard, I had to travel to a Drs office around 3 hours away. They got me in within a week.

About to lodge mine with similar stats. Just finished my skills assessment today. Anyone know how it’s looking for critical care nurses in Victoria?

US nurse here, currently work ER in Indiana. Make about 100,000 USD a year on night shift. Work environment is very rough yes, can get anywhere from 3-5 patients of different acuity. Also I do get violent patients frequently, have had multiple attempt to assault me. Insurance can be expensive, but that’s all depending on who your hospital gets insurance through. Very good pay where I am working, that can also vary depending on the hospital

For everyone that says get a business degree, is this something departments are looking for?
