New grad Filipino nurse wanting to work in Australia/New Zealand

Updated:   Published

Hi everyone, please help me.

I graduated last march 2007 here in the Philippines and I have my license here already.

Because of oversupply of nurses here, it's too difficult to find a job.

That's why I'm looking forward to working in Australia or New Zealand.

However, I'm confused. Esp about Australia.

I already have my bachelors degree here.

When I go there in Aus to work as RN, must I take a diploma in nursing first? can I work while studying?

After obtaining my diploma there, am I already a registered nurse?

Thank you!

because i have the experience needed and im low on budget. hehehe

so i opt for the cheaper one. hehehe

how about you? what are your plans so far??

Oh I see.. :) I sent my application at NMBWA already but I'm still waiting for their letter if I'm eligible to take the bridging program. Though I was given an advise that they already received my application, they are still waiting for the breadkdown of the clinical hours i took from my nursing education.. hope i'll be given the chance to take the bridging program. :)

You also have the option to apply now and just send the IELTS result later just so they can start with the assessment process. :) Some of the nurses here did that.
