^I'm a third courser. EN is enrolled nurse? What are EENs?
Endorsed Enrolled Nurse. In Victoria it is called Division 2 medication qualified. Nurses assessed as such are qualified for 457 visa application with a sponsor but cannot proceed to permanent residency unless they upgrade in Australia. However, you cannot upgrade while on a 457 visa as you should be working full time, a requirement of your visa.
love this post! thanks for the encouragement kit25 :)
Thanks, stef. That's a word from the previous Program Manager but everything has change now as they have a new Program Manager. I would encourage applicants to take the clinical component of CAS instead of the Part B as there is so much to learn in the bedside.
after doing the BP course on student visa. The next step is to get a job/employer/sponsor, right? (a stage that may be hard for others but not for some, i suppose)
and the student visa will then be converted to residence permit, right? is this the procedure?
You need a sponsor to nominate your for 457 (long stay visa). This would take 2 weeks-3 months to complete. Without a sponsor you, you cannot commence work. ENS would take longer but suitable for experienced RNs with at least 3 years experience. For information about immigration please check www.immi.gov.au
Hi! im really interested in applying to NZ by march 2010. I have talked to one of the licensed immigration advisers by IAA, and was told that I should have at least 600 hours of post grad experience before I can apply to NZNC. Then continue working on getting experiences, since it would take some months before I can get to NZ, by then hopefully i have acquired one year experience or more. I have few thoughts in mind please help...
1. Should I go for a consultant agent, which I think is really reliable since its registered and licensed by IAA, PNZBC and UNITEC? I just want assurance that I would get a job in NZ right after CAP.
2. I know nurses arrive in NZ on a tourist visa, how many months are tourists legal to stay in NZ? I mean, if CAP lasts for 6-12 weeks then weeks again to get their work permit, would there be ample time to fix everything before their visa expires? or extension may be necessary?
3. Is it easy to find a nursing job in NZ, whether be it in a hospital or care home?
Thanks, stef. That's a word from the previous Program Manager but everything has change now as they have a new Program Manager. I would encourage applicants to take the clinical component of CAS instead of the Part B as there is so much to learn in the bedside.
Actually, the new program manager also said the same thing to me... "they are there to help us get registered not fail us"...
the staff of CAS are friendly and helpful... don't hesitate to approach them.
good luck to all those who are about to take test A.

Here's the mandatory criminal history check for all QNC applicants:

Overseas applicants are required to submit NBI clearance at the very start. Hope this helps.
