@jreadz: There has been a lot of talk about the 2nd coursers and their applcation to NZ. To be able to confirm, it's best to email the nursing council of NZ. They do reply to your enquiries so that would be the best thing to do.

The link below provides basic information about NZ application.

Alternatively, you can send further enquiries to the following e-mail address:

oseas@nursingcouncil.org.nz

@ Trion08

Sorry it took so long for me to reply.

Below is the link for the Competence Assessment Service (CAS) Prgogram in Queensland. It contains all the relevant information you need. If there's any other information you want, just tell me and I'll try to provide the best answer.

http://www.qnc.qld.gov.au/upload/pdf...nt_service.pdf

Alternatively, you can visit the link below of the CAS program which is Central Queensland University's site.

http://cas.cqu.edu.au/FCWViewer/view.do?site=21


I have here the site for the application form for Queensland Nursing Council too to get you started. Kindly fill up the form and gather all the required documents then mail it to the corresponding address.

http://www.qnc.qld.gov.au/upload/pdf...ckage_QNC1.pdf


As for the exact location of the test center in the Philippines, I still have to check with my friend. I don't know anyone who actually passed the whole challenge test however I know quite a few who are actually taking the exam and the modules.

QNC does not specifically require the applicant to have an experience but if the applicant do have any experience, he/she is required to provide evidence. The working experience will only be considered if it is paid, however, if not then it will not be recognised (e.g. voluntary work experience).

I have heard about Queensland’s nursing opportunity a couple of months back but did not take the application seriously. But after reading through the threads at allnurses.com I think I might submit my application anytime soon. It is so good to know that I am not alone on this and many are interested about nursing in Queensland.

Trion08: Have you gone through the links Aelith has disclosed? Let me know if you will be pursuing, maybe we can help each other and share some insights too..

Hello Shish, yep im considering Queensland. I have not yet started with my application, im seriously studying it because of the lack of opportunity here in PI. One more thing, i dont have any relative in QLD thats why Im a bit afraid on how I may end up there. How about you?

Glad to know there's somebody interested too in QLD. Hope we can help each other and evrybody else.

Thanks.

Hello Aelith, thank you for the infos. Its a big help. Are you applying too in QLD? How do your friends find the exam and the modules? Is it hard, time consuming etc.?

Im joining this boat ride. I, too, am a fresh grad and just passed the 2008 board exam. Has anyone here started working on his/her application? Ive been wanting to start this long process asap, unfortunately, i still do not have my license number and it will be released in november. By the way, I-e mailed an agency in australia, and the consultant suggested that i try applying in victoria since i do not have any experience yet. What would be the difference between queensland and victoria? and which could be faster?

Caregiver or Assistant in Nursing you mean? You can do that ,however, you still need a visa that will permit you to work. As far as I know, that would not count as an experience for a registered nurse. But you can work your way to nursing by studying again. You can start as an assistant in nursing then become an enrolled nurse then work your way to become a RN. Or you can start as an assistant in nursing then enroll in a pre-registered nursing degree to become a RN.

But like what I said before, you will still need a visa that will allow you to work and/or study. You can choose to study now and apply for a student's visa but it is really expensive that is why most are aiming for the bridging program which is so so much cheaper. If you really want to study, there's a scholarship program however, you will be required to go back to your own country after you graduate - which I'm sure is not what you want.
Well, well...fellow hopefuls are popping up as well. I'm also a second courser/transferee. It shows how accommodating you seem to people. They won't be disappointed.

Middle East...yeah, I figured. Is the weather there tolerable? I have a cousin in Dubai. Why didn't you apply as a nurse there for experience? The pay as a nurse is good in the Middle East, right?

It'll be best if you ask aelith and the others. They're very accommodating. Hmm...Victoria...you mean they accept fresh grads in Victoria and not in Queensland? I thought it's the other way around. It's good that these consultants reply immediately.
