''I had an experience in New zealand but as a nurse assistant only.. do you think they'll count that in? :)''

No, they will not. I had 15 years as an Enrolled Nurse and absolutely no recruiter wants to know about that part of my CV, it is RN 1 experience only. Makes sense really.

There are different competencies for a nurse assistant versus RN and if you have had experience as a nurse assistant, does not make one a competent RN.

Hi lani_g85! Have you started with the BP? If not, When is your intake? I have started mine last Monday. Are u an ICU nurse in the Phil? I was assigned in the ICU back home too. I hope it will be an advantage for us. Keep in touch.

My 456 visa is multiple entry so I don't have to extend it. Yes, you should book a return ticket coz sometimes immigration asks for it. I went home here in Phils last April 6 because that's the end of my 3 months in Australia, but i'll be back on the 25th for another 3 months.
