   It depends on how a State Nurses Board responds to yr application; and that depends on yr experience as a paid, professional RN, type of hospital, where you studies, etc. etc. etc. There is NO straightforward answer to yr question.

   Its a pity to read about so many poor experiences in the UK with the above company, ISA. The Australian Immigration Skills List, 2010 has not changed with respect to RNs from overseas. The pathway is difficult, certainly, because a very high standard...

   Whether a particular disease will "hinder" an application will depend on final analysis of your state of health, and hence, as a Nurse, you will know there is no black and white answer. All your answers are on the net anyway, under our Immigration si...

   please read my posts. i am an industry consultant and and have close associations with reg. migration agents. anmc is really not relevant; its a bureaucratic 'overkill' given that it does not register anyone. out confused federal and state government...

6. Info for new grads wanting to work in Oz

   RichLovina replied to Ellie10's topic in International

   It is true that many Australian states will always employ their graduating RNs first; that's only logical and politically the correct arrangement set up between state universities and state governments. This also happens in the teaching and other aca...

7. Job comparison: California vs. Australia, need help!

   RichLovina replied to Saint637's topic in Career Support

   Hi there, as an industry consultant engaged in many Australian and Asian industries, I can advise you that (a) Commonwealth country RNs are not given 'preference' to working in Australia's health industry. (b) Some 'success' may emerge from some bein...

8. My IELTS result - Please Evaluate. Please?

   RichLovina replied to candice_rn's topic in International

   For Australia, the bar has been lifted again, as we had some differences across the states. A national Nursing Registration system is due to take effect on 1 July 2010, but since September last year, the IELTS was lifted to 7.0 minimum in all four la...

10. Working While in Nursing School??

    RichLovina replied to bell47's topic in General Students

    Many who come to Australia, as a student, can work 20 hrs per week whilst studying. Carer work is popular but there are others. Also am doing more research on RNs in Cebu?

11. Australia, PR aned nursing

    RichLovina replied to MEHRNOSH's topic in International

    If you have not completed the Licensure exams in the Philippines you are not RN. In Australia, because your degree is from overseas, you will need to start at http://www.nmb.nsw.gov.au/Is-My-English-Language-Adequate/default.aspx which explains the E...

12. Australia, PR aned nursing

    RichLovina replied to MEHRNOSH's topic in International

    Your question is not clear: Do you have PR in Australia? If you are NOT RN, what two years experience do you have? IELTS is the English language requirement test for RNs applying to come & work in Australia. Your RN is normally a 3-4 year degree ...

13. Volunteer Nurses: Counted as a Work Experience?

    RichLovina replied to rlssem's topic in Philippines

    Regretfully you are misunderstanding. I am only talking about RNS who are employed, recruited to work. 'Volunteer work' of any kind is not considered real work. The work 'paid' means 'employed' in the normal sense, nothing to do with any unscrupulous...

15. Volunteer Nurses: Counted as a Work Experience?

    RichLovina replied to rlssem's topic in Philippines

    In all Australian States & Territories, volunteer nursing does NOT count as work experience when applying to register as an RN. It will be a useful notation on a good resume prior to gaining paid work experience with your RN qualification being u...
