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!
Have a question on the AHPRA application form.
I am married but have chosen to keep my name as is. Never changed it, like it this way and hubby is mature enough to not care :)
My question is, on the name, I still tick on the Miss and not the Mrs?
Also about the question #3 regarding the passport, do you submit the original with your initial application, meaning prior to bp, or just a copy? from what I understand from AHPRA website, you submit the original right before registration, because even the Australian visa should be in it already. If so I just tick No and not provide my passport details? If yes, will they mail me back my passport?
Thanks for the help

If you're married, then you should tick Mrs since because the family name dat will be seen in your marriage contract would be your husband's. That's just what I think.. heheh
Regarding question #3, I think you dont have to provide your original passport since it has a checklist on the last page of the application form which states certified photocopy of your passport. ^_^
oops, forgot to read the last page, hihihi, yup, says certified copy, thanks headz. got confused by NewMacs and Gemini Stars posts. I think they were talking about the visa application, not for the AHPRA.
I don't use my husbands last name, and all my legal documents, including passport, driver's license and PRC card are still under my maiden name, which I intend to use for eternity hahaha. I'll probably just tick on Miss and then provide the marriage contract later on.
Thanks for the reply :)

Are there new documents required by AHPRA not included in the past requirements?
