Is the Australian RN degree equivalent to the Canadian RN degree?
Is the Australian Bachelor of Nursing Science degree equivalent to the Canadian Bachelor of Science in Nursing? If I obtained a degree in Australia, is it transferable to Canada? I had e-mailed the College of Nurses in Ontario to find out, but they said that I needed to apply for an assessment. I'm nowhere near ready to apply for an assessment, so I was just wondering if anyone else had experience in the matter. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If you posess a degree - or any extra qualification - then you'll already be ahead of the masses when it comes to hunting for careers. My mate has a degree and he wasn't certain what direction to go with it, but he unearthed some good tips on the website in the resource box below which guided him to settle that he wanted to be a lab assistant. There is a lot of assistance on the website regarding extra careers.

Every Country even the States in Australia all have different rules, regulations, standards and passes for the EN's, Div 1 RN's and the most complicated Division 2 RN's. Who may or may not have endorsement. They can have oral and topical. Now outdated. IM and Sub cuts with oral and trans-dermal. Now the Endorsed, which I'm one of, who have IM, Sub cut, oral, topical and Schedule 8,9 and DD's. Such a mess in Australia! Canada will except your Bachelor of Nursing BUT they will make you go through all there stuff to bring you up or down, whichever, to meet their requirements. When are we just going to be all the same???? It was hard enough changing my EEN in South Australia to Endorsed RN Div 2 in Victoria. Yikes! Really puts you off doesn't it?
