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!

Hey guys I'm sorry I wasn't able to meet up with you though I did really want to. I was just hitching a ride so I can't control the schedule. Anyway, I will still be here in Manila until the 22nd so if you are still planning another before I leave, that'd be awesome! If not, we'll just see each other somewhere in Victoria sometime :)

@ryan09 NICE PICS!

My status....

Good News: I heard something from NBV [via email].

Bad News: They sent a letter last 02/03/2010 asking me for "further requirements". I haven't received the letter. I hope it doesn't get lost or something.

Me: I don't know if I should be happy or sad. ...further requirements???
