New grad Filipino nurse wanting to work in Australia/New Zealand

[rnrn07]

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!

Hi,

Does Australia consider being an auxillary nurse as hospital work experience? I currently undergoing a volunteer nurse program in a secondary hospital. Recently been accepted as an auxillary nurse in St. Luke's Hospital. I'm confused on which one I should pursue. I'm more concerned about which one would be recognized as "work experience" abroad.

curtin's vaccine form included MRSA on the list of vaccine spec if you are working in a hosp. for 12mos prior to travel to aus. maybe i have to confirm it.. thanks for the info.:)

@ yayey & ARMIRN what are the vaccines required by Curtin? thanks

[dgreat80]

MRSA is not a vaccine. It's a swab test. There is one in St lukes and the other one in Makati Med. Just ask for a doctor's order. :)

Hi ArmiRN. what vaccines did you have for curtin reqts? thanks.
