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!

i went to anz bank in makati to uy my dollar draft to send to australia, they changed adress na, it is already anz bank, mcc center, ground flor, 6778 ayala avenue, makati, katabing katabi cya of security bank.

they are good teller, very acomodating. their telephone is 8417744

joe turtle, wherever u are, i love u, i will always carry u in my heart, u gave me a lot of inspiration en hope.

doc branyan, i pray ur visa to release, u are very inspiring.

Hello Gail :)

Sorry for the late reply. I tried to confirm this information for you. I have not seen any requirement for a health insurance.

hi ms.aelith,

thank you for the reply. Under HEALTH AND CHARACTER DOCUMENTS the part where it says Evidence of medical/travel insurance, do i leave that blank?

If I'm not mistaken, all items which do not apply to you should be marked as N/A?
