New grad Filipino nurse wanting to work in Australia/New Zealand

World Immigration

Updated:   Published

Hi everyone, please help me.

I graduated last march 2007 here in the Philippines and I have my license here already.

Because of oversupply of nurses here, it's too difficult to find a job.

That's why I'm looking forward to working in Australia or New Zealand.

However, I'm confused. Esp about Australia.

I already have my bachelors degree here.

When I go there in Aus to work as RN, must I take a diploma in nursing first? can I work while studying?

After obtaining my diploma there, am I already a registered nurse?

Thank you!

Today, 17 July 2010, the FedEx people delivered the good news to me... got my 456 visa multiple entry (3 months each entry) that started yesterday for 12 months... Well, Melbourne, wake me up when October comes! :D :D :D

In this regard, let me extend my heartfelt thanks to our Big Bro here whose valuable information he selflessly shared on this thread, especially on visa matters among others, made it possible for me to achieve such feat... to JavRN, kudos to you! Many thanks, bro! :up: :up: :up:

Congrats to those who received their visas and approvals.Hopefully after 2 years of lurking in this forum I can get mine also. I applied via QNC last year but was assessed as EN so I turned it down. Currently preparing to submit again under national reg. :w00t:

OMG! You guys are so inspiring. Helping each other out and giving info regarding the Oz Nurse Dream. Though I only read posts from June 27, 2010 up to the last page, I still learned the basics of applying in Oz. I'm almost in tears after reading all your input.

I love you guys. I'll start working on my Oz dream once I'm done with my IELTS. Seriously, I love all of you. Mabuhay and keep inspiring newbies like me.

I want to give all of you guys a very big hug!!!

Hi, I've been reading this thread for months now and I'm very thankful for the people behind this. Actually, this is my first time to post here, I just finished my IELTS exam last 2 weeks ago and hopefully 6.5 will not show up :lol2:, anyway, hope you could help me when I start applying for NSW.

1) sori.. dont they clearly show in the form where to write it? where in the form did they ask the question, perhaps you write the answer on that portion.. (nway, im not sure, ask others okey)..

2) im sure of this... your answer should be yes... meaning, you promise and commit to get a professional ind. insurance when you start working as an rn in oz.. if you are not yet working there, then no need yet to get one.
