Due to recent changes regarding applications for International nurses to Australia and the combining of the nursing boards to one central nursing board in Australia AHPRA I have started a new thread for people to discuss the new process on working in Australia.
Currently New Zealand is not accepting new applicants from International trained nurses except those that meet the Trans Tasman Mutual Recognition Agreement {TTMR} this will be updated once the New Zealand nursing board reopen their books to International nurses.

- 'guarantee' was alive 2 years ago, just passed away this year..
- the appropriate question you should ask is: what is your probability of getting a job after BP?
answer is.... it DEPENDS.... 10 year experience as an ICU nurse in St. Luke's, whew, i will guarantee you that..
1-2 years paid Philippine hospital experience...errrrr...no comment....
- are you 'choosy' in looking for work/institution?? ...then i will not guarantee you will find job...
- are you a very lucky person... yes, i will guarantee, if you say you are a lucky person..
it depends, times change...
Thanks cioman this really help me a lot.Sorry for my mistake I cannot find the right word during that time. Well I dont have that work experience actually I just recently finish my IVT and bls training. I guess that is the answer for my question my probability to find a job in Australia is slim.
No I'am not choosy I will do anything just to practice my nursing career.
If I'am a lucky person hmmmm 60/40 hahaha!!..
For my plans now I just will not to rush things out hehe..I have to stick for my original plan again hehe..Wish you luck guys and godbless!
Have heard hospitals are no longer able to advertise for grad overseas nurses as these positions are government sponsored.
does not means no hospital will employ anybody without a grad year though, it may be difficult,one might be in the right place at the right time, I do know of 5 nurses here in Vic that are desperate to get into an acute Melbourne hospital, any of them, and are having no luck even though these hospitals are advertising for RN's for any location, looks like experience or specialty or being at the right place at the right time is the key.
BTW these nurses are Australian. that could not get into a grad year at home and have been working in aged care and therefore were not eligible to go into a grad year in Melbourne as the had worked over the hours allowed to be considered a new graduate.
what if you didnt get OAB of 7 in the IELTS? is there any alternative?
the last time i check there are schools where if you will enrol in a "certain conversion course" or whatever they call it (not a BP course) which still will make you an RN, do accept lower than the flat 7 ielts requirements.. but the course is longer and much more expensive, and just the same when you apply for registration, you will still be asked for the flat 7 score..
as nurses, accept the reality of flat 7, many countries are now adapting that score level... as ive shared here, i dont fear any nursing licensure exams, bring it on!!! ....., i fear the ielts..
can someone please enlighten me about the graduate nursing program and other programs similar to this? is this the answer to OS inexperienced nurses? okay i'm not taking this away from Au/NZ grad RNs okay? just asking...
- applicable to "new" graduates.. "new" has a technical definition...
- slim chances of being accepted, if Oz new grads find it hard to compete among themselves for a slot, how much more for OS nurses.. moreover, the slots are decreasing.. some advertised such program but actually have only 2 slots offered...
- if AHPRA paper requirements are tedious, multiply that by 3, more tedious docu requirements for grad program..
- so far, havent heard of filipino RN who was accepted in such program..
- said program are offered by government and private institutions..

hi! i've read the "standards for assessment of OS nurses" in the AHPRA website. but they didn't include there why an OS nurse should take BP/conversion/2yr course...
i have a college classmate who's also a Phil RN but when he went to australia, he took the 3yr BN. i'm just curious, why did he take up Phil BSN + NLE then go to Au and retake the whole nsg curriculum again which is the 3yr BN in University of Technology in Sydney (UTS)?
the GNP news is very depressing...huhuhuhuhu! :crying2: :crying2:
do you know any universities offering conversion course in victoria? and how much? thanks!
no, but you can read page 01 of this thread and google and inquire the skuls mentioned in page 01... tuition costs above $25,000 plus 6-12 mos. cost of living during the program....
just a thought, i would rather hire an exclusive english ielts tutor for 1-3 months to be able to prepare well for ielts, than spend $25,000++++ for that conversion program... at the end of the day, i will save hundreds of thousands (in phil peso) despite hiring such an exclusive tutor, and even if i will take the ielts 20x, still i will save a lot..

did you remember the case of haydeeting as shared to us regarding IDP cebu?? its basically the same thing.. and remember what ive been whining here, which you are asking now?? just like you, im mesmerized why do you have to take the long route when there is a short route...
it hurts to say this, but i think its about time to say this frankly.... 99% of our classmates spend more time in facebook or gaming or caring for their farmville, than researching about opportunities of nursing abroad, ask your classmate what they do and you know im correct (same with my classmates)..... compare that to what i did, again as ive mentioned before, at one point of my life ive spent 6-9 hours daily for 3 weeks in the internet reading researching about nursing opportunities, and i never regretted it becoz i got my australian license for less than Php10,000.... perhaps your cellphone is more expensive than my aus license, :)...
we need to read and research to get ahead... this is the information age.. information is power... with information, you will arrive to a logical decision (e.g. 3 mos. bp instead of 1-3 years schooling)..
