What is Nursing?

Nursing as a profession is in high demand and has always been financially and socially rewarding. It also gives people the chance to have a significant impact on their health and well-being. If you are an international nurse wishing to start a career in Australia, you can seek employment in the healthcare sector and pick from a variety of specializations after completing basic registration.

An associate degree in nursing (ADN) or a bachelor’s degree in nursing (BSN) is required to become a registered nurse (RN). Some employers demand that candidates must have prior experience as a registered nurses. They must be licensed by their state’s nursing board. Some states require RNs to complete a medicine administration exam before they can hand out drugs. They must be able to operate a variety of medical devices.

What do Nurses do?

Registered nurses (RNs) work in hospitals or medical clinics, mostly. They could also work for other organizations like outpatient clinics, therapy centres, or senior centres. Their primary responsibility is to promote wellbeing and good health. RNs are expected to do a variety of duties, some of which are listed below:

  • They may be expected to travel to patients’ homes for visits.
  • They must be able to work as part of a team. 
  • They must be able to communicate and interact with others effectively.
  • They must obey the doctors’ orders.
  • To develop their abilities as RNs, they may be required to attend many workshops, classes, or conferences.
  • They must keep up with the latest medical research and technology by reading professional journals.
  • Depending on the states where they practice as RNs, they may be required to renew their nursing licenses on a regular basis. 
  • They might be asked to train, coach, or mentor new or less experienced nurses.

How much do Nurses get paid?

If you’re considering a career in nursing, you’re certainly curious about how much money a nurse can make. Nurses earned an average of $80,010 per year in 2021, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. But that figure is based on an average of nurses with various degrees, experience, speciality, locations, and a lot of other criteria.

2021 Nursing Careers Annual Salary:

What is a Nurse Practitioner?

Millions of individuals are turning to nurse practitioners (NPs) as their primary health care workers. NPs deliver a complete view and personal touch to health care by combining clinical competence in diagnosing and treating health issues with an added emphasis on disease prevention and health management.

Beyond their initial professional registered nurse (RN) preparation, all NPs must complete a master’s or doctoral degree program and experience further in clinical training. Clinical courses enable nurses to practice in primary care, acute care, and long-term health care settings by providing specific knowledge and clinical expertise. The special emphasis on the health and well-being of the individual differentiates NPs from other healthcare providers. NPs support patients in adopting smarter health and lifestyle choices, which can minimize patients’ costs, with a focus on health promotion, illness prevention, and health education and counselling.

How much do Nurses get paid in Australia?

In Australia, the average registered nurse pay is $79,381 per year or $40.71 per hour. The starting salary for entry-level positions is $77,138 per year, with most experienced individuals earning up to $97,308 per year. The Salary for nurses varies depending on where they work, their qualifications, their experience, and their position. In comparison to other countries with excellent healthcare systems, Australia’s average hourly pay for Registered Nurses is among the finest in the world. An RN may expect to earn roughly $64,000 per year on average, though this amount can vary depending on the state you work in.

Nursing

Nursing is a well-respected and highly regarded profession. In Australia, there are approximately 365,990 nurses, with that number predicted to rise to nearly 380,000 by 2022. Nursing is also expected to become one of the most in-demand professions as technology advances, as it is not a position that can be simply replaced by digital alternatives. Many people choose nursing as a career because it is both demanding and rewarding. People are also attracted to this profession because of the flexibility and high income it offers.

How to Become a Nurse in Australia

If you want to study to become a Registered Nurse in Australia, you must first obtain a high school diploma with the HSC or a state-based equivalent. After that, you’ll need to enrol in a recognized university to pursue a Bachelor of Nursing degree. It’s worth mentioning at this time that some institutions will require you to have completed required topics in high schools, such as science or math, so it’s a good idea to plan your nursing career path while still in school.

Universities in Australia offer a range of Bachelor of Nursing degrees, which typically require at least three years of study and a certain number of hours of real-world clinical practice. After you’ve finished your studies, you’ll need to submit an application to the Australian Nursing and Midwifery Board (NMBA). This is the organization that issues you the license to practice as a nurse.

There are funding, scholarships, and other rewards available to students who want to study nursing in Australia. These rewards can help you achieve your healthcare education goals. To ask about your possible eligibility for financial support, visit the Australian College of Nursing website or chat with a counsellor at your institution.
