Just wondered if anyone had trained in AU to be a nurse? I will have plenty of questions if anyone replies

Thanks

I did my mental health nurse training in the UK in the 1980's but did my general nurse training (shorter course with already being a registered mental health nurse) and degrees in Brisbane in the 1990's.
I've also done some teaching on bachelor of nursing courses at uni's in Aus.

I AM NO LONGER REGISTERED IN THE UK IT IS 8 YEARS SINCE I HAVE WORKED AS A STAFF NURSE.
OH HAS POSSIBLE JOB OFFER IN SYDNEY. WOULD IT BE EASY TO GET ON TO A RETURN TO NURSING COURSE OR EASIER TO RE TRAIN AS A MIDWIFE.

if you wanted to train as a midwife you would need to have current registration here as it is a post grad course unless you went on the full direct entry course. I think there are return to nursing courses but don't know much about them, particularly with overseas nurses with expired registration/no aussie skills asessment but sure you could work something out when you are here when you can go and talk to people directly.
