Fast tracking nursing students to enter the workforce is already prevalent in the USA and UK. However, Australian nursing programs have the least number of clinical hours completed. Nursing students can become better prepared for work in the future by developing their teamwork and work-life balance through this experience.

• The USA allows nursing students in good academic standing to apply to the New Graduate Temporary License. This program differs from state to state.
• The UK’s Nursing and Midwifery Council allowed nursing students in their final six months of program to work under supervision. Usually, the UK nursing program require 2,300 clinical hours to be completed.
