    Nursing Examination Application

    Hello,

    I am in the beginning stages of applying for jobs and trying to apply for a nursing license in HK. I am an American trained and working nurse. Looking at the paperwork required by the HKNC, some of it seems virtually impossible to fill out coming from the American system. Does anyone have any experience with this process? I have gotten no response to my questions from the HKNC so far... Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated!

    Just thought I'd chime in. My partner is a nurse as well and we are moving to HK next year.
    Since they only do the examinations once a year she won't work in 2016.

    It seems to be a lot of paperwork and red tape.
    I wonder why they have made the process such a difficult one.

    I am still filling out the paperwork as much as I can. Hopefully it all works out and I can test next year.

    It is intentionally made difficult to protect the jobs of local workers.

    most nurses I know got discouraged and didn't bother.
