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 guys! Is there anyone here who submitted their documents (with IELTS) around the second week of June and have received their assessments already (favorable or not)? I am really really anxious because till now I have yet to hear from QNC. Submitted mine last June 16 and my IELTS a week after that. Its been exactly three months! I'd even welcome a letter from them requiring more documents! Just as long as its from QNC!I'm sorry guys, just venting out here...
. I am really worried. Do you guys think it's okay for me to follow-up via email?
HI chocokat! I submitted mine last week of May but I was asked to submit a new authorization for my credit card so it took another week before they started processing it. I then received QNC's acknowledgement receipt JUNE 4. Last Monday, since it's already been three months, I tried to ask QNC if the result of my assessment was already out and i was told yes it was sent out in the post on SEPT8. The sad part is I had incomplete assessment. I was told to wait for the details in the mail. Now, the agony of waiting.
Anybody here received such a result before? Could you please enlighten me on what it could pertain to? Thanks in advance
hi, University of Ballarat is very far from the civilization, i tell you...Latrobe's location would be the best....did you guys enquire at VCHN?
hey ryan, hahaha... so Ballarate is far from the civilization? i thought so too... so i never really inquired from them but i know they are offering the course.
Anyway, i already applied in La Trobe and i got a call from them earier to tell me they will try to put me on conditional status since they need the latest IELTS results... so i hope everything goes well with my IELTS retake...
Hi Chabeli, yes La Trobe University is situated in melbourne suburb...Ballarat is a regional city...very far from melbourne...well, if you want a laid back, quite, solemn atmosphere, Ballarat would be suitable for you...La Trobe has a lot of international students so you will not be out of place, you will somehow feel at home...
have you applied at la trobe already? when will you be expecting your ielts results?

Hi bubblynrs! Oh my... so that means mine might also be incomplete... Huhuhu...
I received my acknowledgement around June 23 or 24 (not really sure but almost exactly a week after i submitted the docs which was last June 16). They asked me to submit my police clearance. When I tracked my docs they received my police and NBI clearance on July 2. So I've been waiting for 3 months already. I've been thinking maybe my 3-month-count should begin on July 2. Because by that time I have submitted all that they asked for, IELTS included. After posting this I will be emailing them regarding my application.
hello everyone!!! need some info from you guys..
I applied for registration in South Australia and received a decision that I have to do the bridging course. I would like to know if anyone of you out there who is in the same situation.How long and how much is the bridging course?do you know if there is an employer who can sponsor?
thank you

hey chocokat and bubblynyrs... one thing i can suggest is to check in yoru post office if you ahve a registered mail. i was very dismayed to find out that my NBV letter was dated July 20 and received by the post office in aug 7 and yet it was only delivered to my house last Sept 10.... imagine, it stayed for over a month in our local post office and i was already very worried adn frustrated... it couldn've saved me a lot of time and calling Australia if it was jsut delivered on time... So maybe you guys can check out yoru local post office...
arrrgghhh!! philippine postal system

Hi Ryan, yup i think I like La Trobe. I"ve been wanting to be in Deakin but they're closed then when i checked on the rooms for rent and shared houses, i noticed that LA Trobe has cheaper accomodation compared to Deakin.
i already applied in La Trobe and i got a call from them 2 days ago explaining to me what a conditional status is since i lack the IELTS but they also asked for my IELTS result (the old one). the average was 7.5 but writing was only 6.0 ... anyway, i will get my retake results on october 9 and hopefully by then everythign goes smooth...
what about you?
chabeli and ryan09

I suggest you email the BP providers directly, the entry requirements are also posted on their website, assessments are case to case basis. you said that you have 8mos work experience, i think that is already an advantage.
