And since you are on a student's visa, you will be allowed to work during your english program and during the vacation after the english program and before the 1st semester of the degree starts (roughly 2-3 months of full time work besides the 20 hours per week whilst doing the english program ).

Aelith, I think Philippines is Assessment Level 2 if we will study Higher Education such as Bachelor, Associate Degrees, and yes you're right its just a 1 month processing...on the other hand, VET Courses is Assessment Level 3 which takes almost 2 months...and needs a show money good for 3 years.

Aelith, does your MN leads to Registration as Nurse in NSW or in any other States? I asked this, because before Im also thinking of taking up Masters Degree in Nursing (in different University), however I found out (in their website) that it doesn't lead to Registration as Nurse....

Thanks...

Re: Newly grad Filipino nurse wanting to work in Australia/New Zealand

hi nykhouston. i think we received the same letter from qnc. the second paragraph refers to notarization. im not a second courser but i went to three nursing schools. i already requested them to provide me a copy of the course description including the total number of lecture hours for each subject? does theoretical breakdown of hours refer to lecture hours? qnc is asking for the detailed breakdown of theoretical hours. i i may be able to forward them these documents next week after having them notarized. good luck to us!!!

You will be able to register however, I can't assure you that you'll be successful with the sponsor. I really hope and pray that you will find a sponsor whilst studying. You have a year to try and find a sponsor... who knows you might find one soon enough

If you don't feel like doing the course anymore, you can still withdraw your enrollment and get a refund. You should double check it with them but that is possible.
