What do nurses need to prepare to work abroad?

Nurses who want to go abroad for development should meet the following requirements:

1, with a certain English foundation.

Almost every nurse will ask at the beginning: How high was English and how much was IELTS before going abroad? In fact, IELTS score is not critical, nor is it a necessary condition. Nurses don't need to submit ielts test report form to go abroad, but good English skills are essential. If your English level is around CET-6 or IELTS 5.5-6, and you dare to speak dumb English, and you can basically communicate, you can meet the requirements of overseas customers.

However, in addition to everyday language, the most important thing is nursing English. This is more important for people who are going to work as nurses in Singapore, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and other countries, because you need to obtain the nurse certificate of the other country, and these are all done in English. Of course, the exam is not too difficult, because it is all multiple-choice questions.

IELTS scores need to be submitted for the "Training Abroad+Paid Internship" program in New Zealand, Canada, Britain, Ireland and other countries. Different countries and different projects have different language requirements. Ireland needs IELTS 4.5, New Zealand and Canada need more than 6, otherwise you need to cram English in language schools in advance.

2. Adaptable, independent, hardworking and good at learning.

Being a registered nurse in developed countries, the benefits are really attractive. A colleague who works as a nurse in Australia can earn more than 400 thousand a year, not including overtime pay.

In Australia, one person can support the whole family. However, any success will not be smooth sailing, and overseas development must first be fully prepared, especially going out for six months to one year, which will be full of hardships. Strangeness and discomfort to language, cultural background, living habits, working environment, etc. You need to bear it silently from the beginning and make unremitting efforts. 3. Have some clinical experience.

Registered nurses in Singapore need at least 1 year working experience, and registered nurses need more than 3 years working experience. Although Saudi officials require more than two years of work experience, many domestic nurses actually leave immediately after graduation because of the simple and convenient procedures, and some even go out before graduation under the guidance of unscrupulous intermediaries and schools. However, personally, domestic work experience is very important, otherwise it will be difficult to adapt even if you go abroad, and the language is inherently problematic. If you are not proficient in your major, your colleagues, superiors and doctors will easily find that you are a "novice".

Therefore, for nurses without any clinical experience, if you get an overseas job opportunity, please find a hospital immediately to strengthen your business skills. It doesn't matter if there is no salary. It is important to gain experience. 4. Have the necessary economic foundation.

If you want to work as a nurse in Singapore, Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates, 20,000-40,000 RMB is enough. If you want to go to Canada, New Zealand and other places to work as a nurse, you can obtain the registered nurse qualification of the local RN, and then the initial cost is 200,000-250,000, and the establishment of 300,000 is the most secure. Although you have a stable part-time job overseas, you can earn enough living expenses and tuition fees, but it is important that your family need to issue these certificates of funds to the visa officer in advance to help you get a study visa.

(2) Where do nurses go abroad?

How to locate nurses going abroad? What is the purpose of going abroad? What is the career development direction? Many people just follow others and follow the trend without seriously considering these problems. So, which country is right for you?

In general, nurses with low English level or average family economic conditions can consider going to Singapore or Saudi Arabia first. Going abroad costs 20,000-30,000 RMB, and you can earn 5,000-9,000 RMB every month. After working for two years, with overseas work experience, the language level has improved accordingly, and with a certain economic foundation, it is easier to jump to Canada, New Zealand, Australia and other developed countries to be nurses, which is why more and more nurses from China choose to go to Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia is not a country that China people yearn for, but it is a good springboard.

If your goal is to get a foreign diploma and work experience abroad and return to China later, I suggest you choose the popular "short-term training+paid internship" program for nurses. Britain, Australia and Ireland are all very good choices. The disadvantages of this kind of project are: no local registered nurse qualification, part-time work as a nurse, and the post salary is still lower than that of a registered nurse.

If the goal is to become a registered nurse abroad, the whole family can emigrate and settle down, and the best choice is Canada and New Zealand. As long as your English level can meet the registration requirements of the other nursing bureau, you should have a college degree or above in China and have more than 2 years of work experience. At present, only these two developed countries have relatively low English requirements for overseas nurses. In Britain and Australia, the English requirement for overseas nurses is IELTS listening, speaking, reading and writing 7 points at a time, which is almost impossible for domestic nurses! What needs to be added is that even if you study undergraduate nursing diplomas in these countries, in order to register successfully, IELTS must reach 4 7 points! Recently, I consulted many nursing students in Australia. I can't stay in Australia after graduation, so I can only choose to return to China or try to go to Saudi Arabia and Singapore.

Besides America, the students haven't decided yet. At present, too many training institutions promote ISPN\RN training, saying that you can go to the United States with a certificate. Every time I meet such unscrupulous institutions, I want to slap them hard! On June 5438+February 3, 2009, the US Immigration Bureau stopped introducing H 1-C visas for overseas nurses, so even if you get an American nurse's license and find an American employer, you can't get a visa and go directly to the United States to be a nurse. Even before 2009, because there are too many nurses in the world who want to go to the United States, and there are only 500 places in the United States every year, many people have to wait 3-5 years to apply for a visa after being admitted to RN in the United States.

In fact, everyone has personal reasons or reasons for going abroad, and everyone has different choices. In any case, it is very important to see clearly the difficulty of obtaining RN, the difficulty of finding a job, the treatment of RN and the changes of future immigration policy in a certain country before going abroad. Otherwise, a few years' time and efforts will be exchanged for regret and tossing. I hope that all students will take as few detours as possible.

(3) How good are foreign nurses?

Why do so many nurses try their best to go abroad? In summary, it is found that the main reasons are nothing more than the following:

1, different humanistic care, different work systems and treatment. The annual salary of nurses in Britain and Australia can reach 400,000 RMB, and the lowest nurses in New Zealand can also get 250,000 to 60,000 RMB. Besides salary, not to mention other benefits such as holidays, further study, flexible working hours and so on.

The best way to improve English ability is to live and work abroad for a period of time.

3, the working environment, nursing system and system are different, and your accumulated experience is also difficult for domestic head nurses or nursing department directors to master. Of course, the premise is that you need to take the initiative to observe and learn.

4. With high-level people, you will make rapid progress, because everyone around you is your mentor, so the quality and level of your colleagues around you determine your ability.

5. Nurses have different promotion systems. Nurses in western countries have the right to prescribe and enjoy the same workplace status and personal development space as doctors. This is also the main reason why many excellent nurses go abroad.

6. Look at the world outside the box, experience different cultures and lifestyles, have different horizons and have richer life experiences.

7. Escape from the unsafe food hygiene environment in China and never eat gutter oil again!

Going abroad is one of the choices of life path. It doesn't matter whether it's good or not, what matters is which one suits you better. I hope that fellow nurses will consider whether they are suitable for going abroad before going abroad, and once they are determined, they will try their best to realize their ideals!
