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!

how shall i recieve my receipt? is it through email?

If it has been that long and you still haven't received anything from them, it is better to give them a call or email them about your situation. Hopefully it was not lost in the process. It could be that they never got the application or that you never got the acknowledgment letter.

Just a tip: Try to follow up at least every month to make sure you know what's going on :) ...unless of course, they said to wait for a certain number of weeks or month.

Good luck dear!

Godbless to our cas exam!

QLD is one of my favorite state- I was there last 2006. It is clean and green- such a lovely place to live in. They have a cheaper cost of study, but again you can read my reason in my previous post of why not QNC anymore. I aready applied at Ramsay health, just waiting for the outcome- I think I have an idea already of what will they say as u mentioned. Well, let see what I can do in Victoria anyway. Thanks for your information

the more reason why in want to work in Aus yipee!:yeah:

You need 15 or more posts to be able to use the PM system (apart from reading pms which you can do from registering) We do ask that posts are useful to the forums and if believed to be boosting posts just to use the PM system they will be deleted

Hey guys..

Just a quick question..

Potter and Perry’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 2nd ed by Crisp, J. & Taylor, C. (eds) 2005, M

what other book can i use for Potter and Perry? Can i use Kozier as a reference instead ?

Thanks guys

Hi, Just wanted to share, had a great experience with www.ncdagroup.com

Now in Australia. 4 months back me & my family were struggling to come here.

We applied as Intake is ever 2months (Nursing. Career. Development. Australia.) and the duration is for 3months for the bridging progam in Victoria.

They take care of Pickup from Airport, Accommodation & Travel for 3months. I personally liked it cause when you come here we dont know anything and they supported me properly.

I'm thankful to them. I hope its helpful for you all who are trying to be in Australia safely.

Hi creativeguy55,

Could you be please elaborate your experience with the website you posted in your comment. It would help alot of help for those reading this forum. If you could provide what your background was prior to arriving in Australia. Fees and other info would be much appreciated.

Thanks..
