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!
@farah
was it really that hard looking for a job/sponsor/employer after doing the BP course?
for awhile i thought, after doin the BP and gettin the license, gettin a job wont be that tough, even if one doesnt have any experience. so i guess this isnt the case???
@drednag
i havent applied @ NBV, im still finalizing my docs. im just thinking if i apply this dec. and get the assessment [which will for sure ask me to do the BP as I dont have any work experience], then take a BP course -apply for second intake which are offered on may or june 2010, how is this situation going to be affected by the newly formed Nursing & Midwifery Board to effective on july 2010?
anybody havin any idea please share your thoughts! :)
yes for a year check the the www.immi.gov.au.
thats what it says,,,,
hope some other people here can share their real experiences with this one.
