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!
many thanks for the info chabs and ryanso etea still open for feb.... i inquired on vchn and they said that their's start at january also though they didnt tell me if slots are still available but they gave me an application form
so how much is deakin's ryan?
$9,850....
go for vchn then...:)
congrats! I'm happy for you :)Today, I also received my Letter of offer from La Trobe University. i will be paying the tuition fee within the week so I can already start processing my student visa :) Thank you Lord for all the favors :)
hello. May I know how can one process he's student visa? I mean our we the ones who will process it or is there an agency who can help us.thanks! :)
I just received my assessment from QNC,unfortunately,it is incomplete and the council requires me to resend certified copies of all the requirements(the notary public did not include their telephone no. because there's none =) ),course descriptors and an EVIDENCE OF RECENCY OF PRACTICE,AND FITNESS AND COMPETENCE TO PRACTICE.
To those who got a complete assessment,what did you send on your application?As far as i remember i answered "no" on Have you practiced as a nurse or midwife since completing your qualification? because my hospital experience was only as a volunteer nurse.
thanks for the info, forumjunkie...so, are they going to accept and process applications submitted after january 2010 as long as it's before july 2010? have you submitted yours already?
no, not yet. but probably this year. im not sure if they will process after january 2010. to be sure, just pass before dec 2009 ends. that's what i will do
not yet , it's still too early to look for a place... maybe sometime december is a good time, early december.where are you from? we can become flatmates too :) pm me your facebook account.
my gf's mom works in philippine airlines. she said we can get 1 way ticket only if we have a student visa. im still not yet sure if im taking pal or qantas. i am waiting for my tita's response bec we will be leaving together. my gf is going with me also...
i'll pm you as soon as i get to 15 posts..hehe..anyway, from manila, currently working in the middle east as a staff nurse for almost 2 years now so i'm processing everything from here..
the univ actually quoted me $160aud/week for their accommodation, i think that already covers for water and electricity, anyways.. if you will be able to find a cheaper deal, then i'm up for it..that is..if your gf will also agree.
your lucky you'll be able to bring her..hope i can do the same for my bf..."sigh"

you can process it on your own. all the info you will need is in the website www.immi.gov.au . you can search for non-award student visa and see the requirements and application form.

why don't your bring your bf? it's funny how my nick sounds like a girl but im really a guy while yours sound like a guy and yet your a girl... this is actually both mine and my gf's account and chabeli is a name we like...
160aud/week is not bad, for my case i will have to look for off-campus accomodation since my gf will be with me.

This is sad, the council/board is really strict about the certification of documents, that is why you should really look for a notary public that can provide all the necessary information. Get the course descriptors from your nursing school, it is more than 10 pages, i think, submit a certified copy (notarized) together with the other docs. As for evidence of recency of practice, they accept volunteer nurse experience. Good luck.

Thanks Sashi for replying,I am actually expecting that i need re-do the whole notarization process again,i was aware that i miss the telephone no. but it was too late.I asked already my school to make an course description, and by this week i'll be sending the additional requirements.Overall,it is still a positve assessment.
