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!
good luck to all applicants especially to the davaoenos nurses.. i just recently received a "temporary" registration.. the "final" registration will be made or decided on the next official nursing board meeting.. im praying that the nursing board will give their "final" approval on my application... im presently undergoing my DMC nursing training, and hopefully if given "final" approval/registration then i will apply for nursing job via online or agency in Melbourne (after my DMC training).. ive been a member of this thread since @ page 20 of this 300+ pages thread.. thanks to all who helped me.. pray always, it greatly helps..
hi, im just confused...why do they have to make a final decision? is it always like that? are you applying for a registration in victoria? youve done the BP why cant they just register you straight away?
(sorry for so many questions)
hi Ryan, would u mind giving your email or Phone no.? I just want to have some ideas with the set up here in Victoria. I don't know anybody here who is a RN in the Philippines. May I have also contacts of nursing homes here.I really need your help Ryan.... not so easy here.
Thanks
hi Farah, how are you? how are you coping with the heat of the summer

by the way, where are you planning to do the BP and when? hope to see you on November 28 next saturday at the Philippine Fiesta in Melbourne a lot of filipinos and filipino celebrities will be there its an annual event for the filipino community in victoria partnered by ABS-CBN...
CONGRATS cioman! fellow davaoena nurse here. I am still awaiting the results of the assessment since I was asked to submit additional docs. I received an email last week informing me the board would be convening this Nov20 to decide on pending applications. I'm praying they'd still allow me and all others with pending applications to go on with the bridging program.... Goodluck to all of us!

Thanks for the info Ryan,
Im in Maidstone, just near Footscray.
YES, I will be going to the Filipino Fiesta here in Victoria. Im longing to see fellow Filipino RNs here.
I had some revision of my plans re doing BP here, I opted to study Bachelor in Nursing in ACU Melbourne, anyway they do credit many of my subjects from the Philippines. I did this because I have no experience and afraid to go back to the Philippines after doing 3 months BP and no sponsored me for a work.
I plan to apply for PR after 2 yrs studies, anyway I can work as PCA here while studying. The problem is, I cant still find work here.
Best of luck guys...
Hi Farah, So you did not continue your BP anymore? How much is the tuition fee for you new degree?
So its not true that it is easy for one to get work after getting registered? This information got me worried. I hope that this is not the case. What type of work are looking into ? Will it be nursing related?
I pray that your plan brings you success and hope for those wishing to follow and eventually end up in NBV
background, if a company is hiring a manager and a supervisor, it is better to apply for manager, they will not hire as manager then they will hire you as supervisor, but if you are lucky then they will hire you as manager..
i sent my applications, "beautifully|, cleanly, orderly, specially, with the intention of applying for a license without the need the of undergoing BP.. The context of my application documents and application letter was to convince them that i am a competent nurse; i presented to them all my credentials (exams, topnotcher, high grades, etc., references) anything that you would help persuade them to grant me immediate license..
Initially, they had positive reply subject to final decision of the nursing board.. As i have mentioned in my previous post, i am presently having my nursing training at DMC (Davao Medical Center in Davao City).. yes, i have not yet been in Australia, i am just here in Davao City, waiting for the final decision on my nursing license, through prayers they will approve, hence i will receive my aus. license sometime in December 2009..
im crossing my fingers and continue my prayers..
