Good morning all,

I’m not sure if I am posting in the right place or if a thread like this has already been created. Sorry is this is the case. I was just hoping that someone out there could share some insight into some questions that I have regarding returning home to work as a nurse if training was undertaken outside the EEA, in my case Australia. I left Ireland in 2009 when the economy was looking quite bleak, I ended up in Australia where I first did a diploma of nursing to become an enrolled nurse, and I have been working as a nurse in a highly specialised area ever since. As things changed at home with the economy, as well becoming increasingly homesick and craving my mams cooking, I soon realised that I wanted to return home. Knowing that there are no enrolled nurses working in Ireland, I returned to university in Australia to complete my bachelor of nursing, whilst working part time, all so I could become a registered nurse and return home. I am just about to graduate from uni and just as I was becoming more and more excited about my move home, unfortunately, I have been inundated with articles about Aussie and US nurses not being able to register to work as nurses in Ireland. I have emailed the NMBI but I am yet to receive a reply after weeks. Google has offered me no answers as to if any of these nurses have gained registration, only stories of those who have failed to do so. So basically, I’m just wondering if there is anyone out there who knows anyone who has successfully been through the registration process and could give me any tips on how to go about it, or who I should contact for information.

Thanks for reading,

A concerned nurse.
