New grad Filipino nurse wanting to work in Australia/New Zealand Part 2

Published

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.

Oh God! What am I gonna do now. I think I fail my IHNA interview. I cant think of my alternative step to take my BP in OZ. Oh God help me :confused:

Hi. WHy dont you try to have you BP here in SA instead? If u got 2 years work experience as an RN, applying in university of south aus for their arntp program isnt that bad... Actually, they are not that strict when it comes to requirements. No interviews, you just have to submit the necessary documents and thats it. Besides, living here in adelaide is much more cheaper than in any other state....

i have friends who got their business visa for BP and they didnt send an IELTS result.. how about that? when did you process your visa mhai? coz my friend got her visa last august..

i processed my visa september2.. got it sept15... =) i was asked to submit my IELTS sept7....

Im also considering UNISA. But i am not sure if they are offering BP in their institution.. Did you take your BP in UNISA? if so, how much is their BP costs?

There are only two institutions offering BP here in SA which is approved by ahpra. One is unisa and the other is flinders university. unisa call their program as AUSTRALIAN REGISTERED NURSE TRAINING PROG which is 18 weeks in duration. Tuition fee cost me 13800. Im starting my BP on this coming october.

I just wanted to ask... Why did u take an 18week course which cost 13,800 instead of a 10-12week course( the usual duration in most of BP schools) and at a cheaper price??

hi guys! im back! ehehehe.. just got my eligibility letter yesterday after a year of waiting.. well, i guess, good things come to those who wait,eh?:nurse:

so, thank God finally its here..now on to my next step..anyone knows if ACFE has a Manila office ? or do we have to send our applications ACFE OZ address?

I think it will depend on your circumstances. Leeross might have relatives or friends who live in Adelaide. I know someone who works in the public hospital who brought her son over to do the BP here in Adelaide. The tuition might cost more and the course might take longer than other BP providers but also consider the cost of living (accommodation, food, transport, etc). While doing his BP, he worked as a carer in a nursing home for 1-2 shifts a week. He eventually found an employer who sponsored him for work in Canberra.

Congratulations on the eligibility letter. It's so nice to hear from you after a long time. :yeah::yeah:

Yup, i submitted my ielts test report in unisa but not in immigration anymore because the visa which i applied for is non award sector which is assessment level 1. I applied onshore for that visa

Hi. Bobby123 is right. In my case, my husband is here in adelaide so there its impractical for me take up my bp in other states. Every school in every state differs in bp duration and tuition fee. Im just thankful that in unisa, i didnt have to go through some nerve racking process.
