lets just clean this thread guys and continue to create a positive atmosphere here...
just remember this, ive known a couple of nurses who dont have any experience at all in the philippines but now working in australia...lets just be innspired by them...
yes nursing experienc could be important HOWEVER, whats more important is to be a registered nurse in australia, after that everything will follow smoothly.
lets take your previous post as an example...can you give us concrete proof that CAS is really that easy as you say...
regarding the economy thing, you are not the miniser of finance nor the minister of health to tell us that the economy could be the hindrance why it is hard to find a job. you are not the ministero f health to tell us that it will be hard for the overseas nures to penetrate australia because of the reason that youve laid out...SO YOU ARE HAVING MISCONCEPTIONS AND INCORRECT MISLEADING INAPPROPRATE INFORMATIONS!!!
and again generalization isnt good...and dont cleanse yourself as you yoursef needs some orientation of what australia is and whats happening, youve been here for montths only right? have a thorough research dear and you will know...and try to stand by corrected.
PS: interest rate in australa is sowly going higher indication that the economy is stable. in the next few months it wll rise again. do you think australia really dont need nurses? do you think it will be hard to find a job? if i may ask you how many hospitals are there in melbourne and in victoria as a whole? do you think that the on going construction and expansion of some of the hospitals dont require additional man power? how come it will be hard to find job? and do you agree that people who will have a hard time finding jobs are the ones discouraged by some discouraging and misleading people in here?

yup i have already received my letter but i think all the schools are closed for the january intake.. i thought you were in vic coz you said you will apply for the the jan intake..
hello ciao_88, so how are you doing with your QNC application? have you already taken the part a? or are you in australia already? :) :) i am thinking of applying by myself, however i know that australia will be changing requirements by 2010. i somehow feel pressed for time, if i decide to go about things myself, there's a bigger chance for mistakes, and i feel there is little time to correct them. what are your views on this? thank you so much for replying to my post :)
hi, I'm scheduled to take the Part A test this December, I did all the application myself and I had no regrets of getting an agency coz the CAS administrators and staffs are so accommodating and answers queries promptly and detailed. I couldn't wait until July 2010 coz chances are, the change on the national registration might be either tedious and tougher or the other way around so I decided to just move on with my CAS pathway application and see what happens. All hopes, prayers, determination and of course being optimistic Good luck to all of us..
