There are several kinds of nurses in Australia.

Australia has five states and two special administrative regions. Before 20 10, each region had its own nursing association and independent nurse registration standard. After July 2065438+00, the Australian federal government unified the registration regulations for nurses and midwives in all states. Qualified nurses need to apply for registration with the Australian Nursing and Midwifery Bureau under the Australian Nursing Union, which is no longer different from the regulations of previous States. The Australian government also hopes to standardize and manage the qualifications of nurses in various States through a unified system. This not only unifies the procedures for obtaining the nurse's license, but also allows nurses to practice across the state without changing their licenses.

Simply put, there are three levels of nursing licenses in Australia:

1.65438 level +0 nursing assistANt (an): The so-called assistant nurse is not a real nurse in Australia.

2. The second level is registered nurses (EN), or registered nurses' division 2, who usually complete local diplomas and division 2 courses, that is, they may be registered nurses, and registered nurses (EN) must generally work in the company and under the supervision of officially registered nurses.

3. The third level is registered nurse (RN), or registered nurse 1. RN is a nurse (bachelor) who graduated from Australian universities. She has completed the Division 1 course and can work independently in the hospital. Subdivided, there are psychiatric nurses, special nurses who take care of mentally retarded people, nursing consultants, nursing educators, nurse directors and other higher levels.

It is worth noting that at present, the invitation standard for nursing staff in the immigrant occupation list and talent introduction list is RN. If you only hold an EN license, it is not up to standard.

The qualifications of these nurses are different in the scope of work, responsibilities and salary levels. Basically, registered nurses have a high level and are responsible for guiding the work of registered nurses. Generally speaking, EN is not suitable for administration, drip, intravenous extraction or injection.
