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!

thanks terdjay and RN oz for information and time you shared.. more than the "bayanihan" thing, it's good karma when we help others with their questions and concerns..

i'll be retaking my IELTS this May 20.. my existing one had expired.. hope to pass with scores of 7.0.. they say that getting 7.0 in writing is now recently very difficult..

good luck to all...
