Australian, New Zealand and South East Asian Nursing Resources

World Australia

Published

i am starting this thread devoted to listing web resources for nurses not only in australia and new zealand but any of our regional areas. anyone is invited to add to the thread with a new resource or site they would like to share.

the only condition is that the resources added are not for the purposes of advertising as per the terms of service agreement all members agreed to on registering with this site.

non-profit organisations, government heath websites, universities, medical websites (i.e. college of surgeons), hospital websites (esp. ones such as the liverpool hospitals trauma site) and local support organisations are all welcome to be listed. as long as the listing is not done for recruitment or profitable purposes- i.e. you can list say, woop woop university but you can't run a big advertisement saying come and enrol.

so here are the start of the sites. first is the australian registration board listed for all overseas nurses wanting to come and visit our beautiful country.

if you are immigrating to australia you will have to be assessed by the anmc.

state registration boards - if you are applying to come to australia on a termporary work visa you have to contact the registration board of the state you want to work in first.

Specializes in Medical.

Interested in further education but not sure what's available or not tempted by the local offerings?

http://www.goodguides.com.au lets you search for any course, anywhere in Australia (and I mean any - apprenticeship to PhD). For example, tonight I looked up epidemiology courses: I chose the 'medical' field of study option ('nursing' didn't get any matches, even though you don't have to be an MD to get into the courses), selected all the states (by holding down Cntrl as I scrolled), then chose 'any' mode of study, before typing 'epidemiology' into the course name box. There are four post-graduate epidemiology courses offered in Australia, one by distance.

I then clicked each hit for further information. Here's what you get:

Master of Medical Science - Clinical Epidemiology University of Newcastle

Qualification - Master Degree (By Coursework)

If you subscribe to the service ($22 a quarter) you can access "detailed and exclusive in-depth analyses, ratings and comparisons of institutions and their fields of study; View the FOUR ratings gateways; and View detailed information and profiles on fields of study, courses, campuses, universities and graduate outcomes"

The only annoying thing is that they don't have web links to the course page, so you do have to find the institution site and then search a bit.

On the up side, it's amazing what's out there!

Hi! Happy New Year to all!

I dont know if I am in the right place, but here goes my questions:

1.I would like to ask anyone here if there are hospitals or good agencies in Australia/New Zealand who can accept a new graduate registered nurse from the Philippines without any work experience as of yet? I do however have a passing IELTS exam.

I am interested in working for a period of 6-12 months. From what I understand, I cant use the holiday/working visa since I am over 30 years old. :wink2:

2. Does anyone know how long this usually takes?

3. Are there other options?

4. Will willingness to work in an Area of Need give me a better chance of getting a temporary job? :confused:

Thank you in advance!

Specializes in oncology perioperative nurse.

Hi everyone,

I'm a RN from the US (3 yrs work experience)... I'm moving to Australia in about 2 months. I have my visa already and my license is pending for NSW. I have an associates degree, will this cause an issue? I have not been able to find information about that... I've read some things online but I'm not sure there are true. Also I need to know what the difference is between public and private hospitals. Pros and cons of working for these 2 types of hospitals. Also I'm looking to work for an agency since I am not ready to settle down to just one hospital... I need to find the right one for me. Please any help would be appreciated. This is all very new to me since I'm moving to Australia and I have never been there. This is a huge change for me and I need all the help I can get!! I'm also looking for accommodations... I will be arriving in Sydney with my husband and need a place to stay... any ideas?!

Thank you in advance,

Paula
