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!
hi everybody! do you know how to be a registered mental health nurse in australia? How to do about the registration to become one? aelith, do you know if you could study this in a university and earn registration after graduating? thanks!
As far as I know, you would need to study a postgraduate course - graduate certificate/diploma/masters of Mental Health. These courses are provided by Universities in Australia. You would need to have a current practicing license as RN in Australia to be able to enroll in such programs.
Hi friends, can anybody tell me if I work in Aged Care work in Australia, will the time I worked be credited if I apply later for registration as a nurse in any Nursing Board in Australia? Thanks.
I would assume you are referring to AIN or PCA jobs and not Aged Care RN. If it is AIN, then it will not be credited.
There is such a thing called Aged Care RN. Working in an Aged Care facility doesn't necessarily mean you are only going to work as a PCA or an AIN.
Hello Can anyone tell me if there are changes in the required ielts score in QNC? I am a bit confused coz the CQU is requiring those who would like to take the challenge tests to have a score of 7.0 on each module..please help..:nuke:
Are you sure they are asking for a minimum band of 7.0 for all bands and not 7.0 Overall Band Score (OBS)? Hmm.. if that is the case then maybe CQU upped its requirements for English. This is possible since QNC and CQU are different - CQU being the bridging program provider and QNC as the registering body.
I have checked QNC's website and the IELTS requirement is still the same - 6.5 Reading/Listening, 7.0 Speaking/Writing & 7.0 OBS. Better double check with QNC and CQU again - they are the best person to ask.
Hello Aelith,
Thank you for your reply, yes, I read it on a certain website.. It was mentioned by Miss Jenny Anastasi of CQU.. They are planning to have a testing centre for the challenge tests here in iloilo and they chose the university where I graduated from. I called the educ. centre of our uni. and found out that it was true the CQU requires us to have a 7.0 in all modules and as for the challenge test here they are still waiting for the MOA..
