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!
to chabeli:i just want to confirm sumthin..
my agency told me that i needed first to finish my pre-visa assessment before i send my acceptance form and pay to la trobe? is that so?
i was not asked a pre-visa assessement. it is only on certain countries. i have accepted my offer already. i am just waiting for the payment to be posted in my credit card because international transactions takes 3-5 days to be posted and then the uni can give you the o.r. and ecoe to use in your student visa application.
we should be seeing each other in la trobe. aud moved up to 43.21 today from last week's 42.2.
for nbv, i know you can pass without ielts because i didn't pass my ielts. notice that in their application checklist, an ielts result is not yet needed. submit only what's in the checklist.[/quote@chabeli
so you mean u havent pass ur ielts to nbv and yet you can enroll to latrobe without your ielts?
am i right? correct me if im wrong.
thanks
nope, what i mean is, nbv doesn't require us to send an ielts results when we apply. it is only needed when you enroll for the bp. so before i could enroll in la trobe, i had an ielts result already.
@ryan so expect it around dec 1? but reading back on the forum it seems that you sent yours it long time ago . Is the processing time still the same time frame now?
Do they like i read on the forum send an acknowledgement letter like QNC and is that what i am waiting for ? Or is it the assessment they send right ahead ?
