Dear Ireland
I have read your message with MUCH interest. I am an EN hoping to migrate to Oz on a RSMS Visa. I have applied directly to the nurses board of NT as I also understood that ANMC do not carry out a skills assessment for EN or Registered Nurse Level2 as we are in the UK.
I cannot find any more information on this subject and although you posted 2 years ago I hope you are still around on the BE website.
Many Thanks Ireland
Kind Regards
Darwin Days

Hi Ireland

What's your plan of action once you have finished in May? Not sure how old your kids are but are they still up for coming to Australia?

feel for you Ireland, i emailed ANMC to ask regarding en's as i too am an en and i was told that they couldn't help me as they only deal with registered nurses they advised me to contact the relevant nurse boards for advice. it seems as though us en's have to fight every corner of the way to get any where so un fair.
if you did goto to NZ and got citizenship there you would be eligible to apply to AUS from there long way round to go but i have heard of people doing it.
good look with the future

Hi Jo and Mandy

Yes im very much up for OZ kids are 7/8 and they cant wait hopefully once course finished will apply to regional areas for sponsorship for the RSMS visa im already registered in nsw as an enrolled but hoping for Townsville as a level 1,

I agree with you Mnady we are always having to go the hard way for anything but have you applied to do the conversion read my friends posts (Jimtrish) she has done her conversion and now gone to Oz and loving it I travel once a week from Manchester to London to uni as this was the only uni I saw did the course in 1 year fingers crossed it will all be worth it in the end

Ive been trying ages to get an conversion course done,its like banging my head against a brick wall. with oh in army and living away from home it is so hard. I have done a dip in health and social welfare with the ou and start a degree in oct with ou in health care. Hopefully i will have finished it by the time we come to oz. as i havent worked for 3 years but have renewed my pin i was told i didnt need to to do a return to work course. The advisor i spoke to said i could always work in a nursing home, as they aren't bothered who they employ. made me feel really crap

ireland

Hi Mandy,

Hope things work out for you I know its hard trying to fit things round kiddies, im sure you will be fine
keep in touch and let me know how you are getting on
love ireland

Gill and Rob

Sorry, but NZ is not an option for EN's. You would be given the title nurse assistant and can only work in very limted area of practice, such as long term care. You can not give mediation other than oral meds {so no i.v's, sub cuts etc}. Do not think you can use qualification for immigration purpose.

Sorry Gill

ireland

Hi Gill You are very right an EN cannot get to OZ or NZ on that qualification I registered in NSW as an EN but I made a mistake hence why Im doing the conversion
Would not like to be treated a s an nursing assistant after working ICU and Cardiac all these years.
