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!

Deakin is already accepting applications as early as now for the Jan intake. They need to meet the minimum number of students for the bp to proceed.

Castlemaine is a rural town. I was told that bp there is easy. It's not pass or fail in contrast with the unis which only put you on clinical placement if you pass the theoretical component. And the accomodations are just behind the hospital. That's easy living for the students.

I was planning on having my bp there but I won't make it in time so that's off my options.

Good luck to you.

Cheers

Hi, is there anyone considering to take the bridging program in Adelaide??? It is the same NBV approved 12 weeks program offered by Uni Balarath through William Light Institute in Adelaide. As I understand, the living expenses will be much cheaper in Adelaide.
