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!

Hi! I just wanna share my good news that is I have already received my assessment result from QNC and I just need to forward my IELTS score although I have done that after I submitted my documents to them. I have emailed them about this and still waiting for their reply. I was so worried with my documents -- the lawyer's notarization were stamped at the back of all my papers, I have zero experience and to think I graduated 2007. Thank God everything went well.. By the way, I snail mailed my documents sometime first week of March, got their receipt first week of April, and submitted my PRC good standing cert on April 23 and I received their letter today. =) Thank you for all the people who helped and continues to share their knowledge.

Congrats dear~ Hopefully you'll do well in the program and have your registration done soon ;)

Thank you aelith, nyk and choco!! =) I hope everything would go well for you guys... one step at a time and our dreams would hopefully come true!!

To God be the Glory, Trust in him and all shall be well.

Hi to all...esp those who are patiently waiting for their luck to come...

congrats Ziggy!!!

I just want a confirmation in this idea (my neighbor told me) that if we want a

higher score in IELTS esp writing part, choose to take it in Baguio City. Well, they are 3 who tried it and they all got 7.5 in writing...he said its because of the Korean Examiners there who are so generous in rating..

How true? Is it worth the travel to Baguio?

Haha, I sound so desperate...

Hi I'm from Baguio City;I did my IELTS review in a famous review center here.I failed the writing part and got only 5.5 and i don't blame them because writing is my weakness :down:.There are plenty of review centers here to choose from.Also,there are a lot of Korean Students here learning english but I've never heard of any Korean Rator/Examiner.I think most the examiners came from Manila from Prestigious universities and one Professor from Saint Louis University... :D

same here:lol2::lol2::lol2:
