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

Updated:   Published

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!

wow!.... meet up! you guys enjoy! :):cheers::w00t:

hi everyone. has anybody here tried to apply at deakin uni for the registration program for overseas nurses?

hi guys, this thread is really helpful, thanks to all of you. I just passed my documents to NBV except the part from PRC, the certificate of good standing, is it ok if i pass an original one but dated decmeber '09, and send it thru dhl, the one inside PRC?,,or is it a must that I send them a new one?
