Has anyone ever done an international nursing placment in australia?

Question

i am a 2nd year nursing student studying child nursing in newcastle england, in late september we have the oppetunity to do an international nursing placment. me and a friend were wanting to go to australia as once we qualify we want to emmigrate to australia. I was just wondering if anyone could help us with tips on how to find a placement or if anyone has done it before how they did it. thanks

Answer 1

I'm a student nurse in Birmingham, on our course we have to do something called a CAP period at the end of each year where we get the chance to repeat a placement or coursework etc we may have failed. If you pass everything, you can arrange to do a placement of your choice, some of my mates went to Nigeria for 6 weeks last year and loved it, they had to finance it and arrange it themselves but they past it.

Maybe that's an option? I would speak to your personal tutor at your university, see what they can do for you.

Hope this helps?
