Phil nurse inquiring about NZ & AUS application

Hi,

I dont know who toldyou it would cost 200,000 peso but accoding to the currency converter i used thats almost $6,000 NZD!!!!! thats ridiculous, It should only cost you a fraction of that , a few hundred NZD at the most. Here are the details about registering for NZ:

www.nursingcouncil.org.nz

Australia have their own registration boards depending on what state you want to work in.

I am sure you will not find it difficult to get a job in NZ or AU, its just getting registered which may take some time.

All the best

Thank you very informative

RN's from the philippines who wants to be registered in new zealand or australia need to attend a 6-9 weeks competency course .. the tuition in new zealand is aprrox..NZ$4-5k while in australia is about A$7k...

Does the Nursing Council of New Zealand, require me to have a 1 year working experience as a Nurse in our country {Philippies} before I could pass my application to be a Registered Nurse in their Country?
