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.

Hi imjem,

I am also interested to have my BP in ACFE this April. Do you have any idea if there are still slots for that intake? Can you share about the application process? I heard they are going to interview their applicants through skype. How was your interview? I hope to hear from you about this.

Hi everyone! :)

I submitted my application to AHPRA VIC last january 20, and I got my eligibility letter yesterday. The assessment was really fast. :) Anyway, does anyone here know if La Trobe still has a slot for this May?

really? . congratulations. . .wow you are so lucky . . i passed my application to AHPRA-WA . .but it's taking so long . .it's 4 months already . .

Hi. I came from Philippines. I will have my conversion course in Australia this year. It's a 1 year program. But I have this question, after the conversion program, do I need to enroll for a bridging course? After the conversion what would be other requirements to register as a nurse?

really? . congratulations. . .wow you are so lucky . . i passed my application to AHPRA-WA . .but it's taking so long . .it's 4 months already . .

Thanks! :) Keep your hopes up, I'm sure your LOE will come anytime soon. In my case, I kept on sending emails to AHPRA regarding my application. Haha. Now I have to face another challenge--finding a school. It gets so tiring as to I don't know what facilities have vacant slots for this year's intake.

Does anyone here know any BP schools who are still accepting applicants for this year?

We are in the same situation now. School hunting. I think IHNA is still accepting applicants. They have several intake dates.

I'm thinking about maybe ACFE or Mercy Health. I'll check out IHNA too. Thanks a lot minja :)
