Filipino Registered Nurse

[czasachi25]

Hi,

I am new a new member here, I have a question and find this site informative. I hope i could get an answer from you guys.

I'm an RN with 1 year experience in a Hospital here in the Philippines.

I took ACademic IELTS in April and got a score of

Listening 7.5

Speaking 7

Writing 7

Reading 6

------------------

Overall bandscore 7

I want to know what are my options in Autralia , NZ, Canada or UK? Or are there any Agencies here in the Philippines or website i could visit to get information. It doesnt matter whether it will be study-work program for as long as im qualified.

I hope i could really get a nice advice from here.

Thank YOU

Each country you have mentioned shows the English requirements on their websites or as in the case with Canada on each provincial college of RN website. Have you checked them out?

Hi, Thank you responding. Can you give the links please. It would certainly help

The links you are looking for are under the nurse registration forum and the Canada forum

You can cross out Australia for now. Australia needs 7 on all IELTS subtest.

Unless Canada has re-opened their needs (Skilled Workers List) for overseas nurses, you can take Canada out of the equation for now also and concentrate your thoughts on the UK or NZ. But I thought NZ has a minimum work experience of 2 years or more?

[JustBeachyNurse, LPN]

I believe NZ requires minimum 2 years paid work experience. And UK has a high number of clinical education hours

[iamnomad]

Yes. NZ requires 2 years work experience. Also, in UK, I think only NICU or critical care nurses have the opportunity to work if from outside the EU.

RN went back on the list this year for Canada however I believe there is a cap

Australia and NZ requires 2 years experience and IELTS of 7 on all bands.
