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.

Part 1 thread New grad Filipino nurse wanting to work in Australia/New Zealand - Nursing for Nurses
after 7 months of waiting (and I'd say it's worth it), I finally have my "in-principle registration!just a little bit of background about me:
-Filipino citizen
-earned my BSN 2008 in the Philippines
-did not take NLE, took NCLEX right away
-granted H1B visa
-been working in the US since 2009
now, my AHPRA timeline:
-July 27, 2011 - sent my application to AHPRA - ACT
-August 2, 2011 - they received my documents. it took awhile because I sent it to the GPO address and not the physical address so postal service had to reroute the package
-November 22, 2011 - received an email saying my documents are complete and will be finalised
-late December - i emailed them for updates but my case officer was on-leave but the registration officer told me that my application is complete and is referred to the Director of Registrations for "approval consideration"
-January 31, 2012 - received an email saying that the Director of Registrations referred my application to the NMBA board meeting.
-February 16, 2012 - the meeting was held
-February 27, 2012 - received an email from the Director of Registrations saying that my application meets the standard of registrations, no bridging program required, just need to present myself to any AHPRA office and provide identification and original copies of documents.

[color=#333333]2. in section d pertaining to registration history the form asks for a category of registration - i dont really know what this means :-(
i wrote professional--- i really am not sue if it was correct, i haven't received any feedback regarding that part.
this should have the answer that you were a registered nurse (that is the category)what profession - 'nursing'' this pertains to your practise in your own country.
