The GCAN-ANP initiative at IHM provides internationally trained Registered Nurses with a structured route to gain Australian nursing registration while earning a postgraduate nursing degree. Tailored for overseas-trained nurses, our curriculum delivers crucial competencies and understanding required for nursing practice in Australia. This equips nurses to successfully attain registration in the Australian healthcare system. IHM also provides a generous scholarship program to assist nurses in meeting the requirements for Australian registration. The program readies participants for nursing careers in Australia by immersing them in the local healthcare environment. It includes preparation for the NCLEX examination and comprehensive training for the OSCE assessment administered by APHRA.
