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

Thank you very much Aelith.How about the review for the Challenge Test? How many months would that be before I can take their test?

As far as I know, the only review is that from a certain agency in manila. They will give you review materials for that. So, if you're not going to avail of that particular agency's services, you will have to find your own materials and review on your own.

Going for the agency is a bit expensive, especially when I found out that they won't be paying for the modules. But it is entirely up to you. I can give you an estimate of how much you will be spending if you will go on your own and you will see the big difference with the agency rate. As for the review materials, you can try contacting QNC. Maybe they can give you details where you can get the books needed for the topics included in the exam.

thank you very much aelith, your such an angel. Yes I will be very glad to know the difference between doing it your own or getting help from an agency.

thanks for the reply aelith. so what would you recommend?? the one year pre-registration or the 2 years? can the tuition fee be paid on an installment basis (if that is the right word for that) or we should pay immediately for the whole tuition fee??? i am weighing things so that i can choose if i would have my pregistration course or the CAS. tnx.

by the way... can i apply without my license number??? you see.. i will get my license in about 3 months and that would be a long time for me to wait. hope to read a reply from anyone. tnx.

it is very hard to find jobs here...


what to do? what to do?? what to do??? my mom is killing me!!! keep on telling me to find a NURSING job well in fact she does not know how hard it is.. any way. thanks...



God bless us al

Shish and Hotpotato101,

Hi Just want to ask what school/review center are you referring to that offers review for the Challenge Exam? If there's someone here who had taken the Part A, can you please share your experience and where the exam took place..Thanks

Thanks so much for the reply aelith! Is it possible to get a graduate visa after finishing the 1 year course then work part time during my 18month extended stay there? I have also heard of nurses taking up units and not the entire degree to be able to work as a nurse in Oz. Is this possible? My mom is already bugging to study in Oz. What are the first steps that I should take to study there? I'm really clueless. I'm interested in Brisbane since you said its cheaper.

Thank you so much for your reply aelith! If I took the one year course only, is it possible to get a graduate visa after finishing the course and work during my 18 month stay there? I have also heard of Pinoys taking up units only and not the entire course there. Is that possible to work as an RN? What are the first steps to take to study in Oz? Sorry for the many questions
I'm just really clueless about this.

and also. to add to her question. may i know the tuition for the one year course? does that equate to the enrolled nurse that their website describes??? i really want to pursue my career there and your help will be very much appreciated. also, if you could pm me your e-mail so that i can ask you personally for my further question, that will be very helpful. thank you and hope to read a reply soon.
