Amy Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Hello everyone. We looked into moving to Oz a few years ago and never actually went through with it. Now, 6 years on and a five year old in tow we have decided to go for it. I'm now devastated to find out that my nursing diploma is insufficient. My question is, having been out of education for some time (11 years) I'm a little rusty. I was wondering if I needed to to specific modules to top up to the required degree or if I can do modules I am more interested in such as principals of upper GI endoscopy? Really wishing we had done this years ago now but hindsight is a wonderful thing. Thanks in advance Amy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wellse Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Hi, have you done anything post graduate? I did the diploma too but was able to use the courses I had done after qualifying to get registered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bungo Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 There is a specific bridging course that diploma qualified nurses can use to top up to degree. I think you would need to go to Australia for the course though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amy Posted May 16, 2016 Author Share Posted May 16, 2016 Thanks, I did have a read on that, I'm guessing you would need a temporary visa rather than permanent to go over and do that, but it's extremely expensive. Need that lottery win! thanks Amy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colettemg123 Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Are you adult branch? Some areas i.e paeds, Ld are being registered with diplomas, but not adult, some people are topping up online. Courses run through university of Chester Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Courses run through university of Chester That is not correct there are no exceptions in order to register as an RN the minimum is a degree , there are no separate registrations for paediatric nurses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adult was not, rationale being that the others are specialities. Anyway this is not relevant as the op is adult trained Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
