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

Yup, MMR comes in one shot. As for Tetanus, it is included in the Dtap as it pertains to Diphtheria tetanus and acellular pertussis. But technically, it really depends on the what the school requires. However, the most common required vaccines as what I know includes MMR, Dtap and Hep B.

hey guys! just a question. i haven't done my MMR shots yet coz i'm thinking if our baby book records will suffice? if yes, can we just have a medical certificate stating when these shots were given when were babies? do they really ask for the baby book record per se when we reach AUS?

Hello! I had been following this thread for some time now and it was so informative..thanks for posting everyone...

My application was received by AHPRA last Nov 2011 and I received a letter last Feb 27, 2012 saying that it's already in the final assessment. I was wondering if anybody knows how long does the final assessment take, because a friend told me it will take at least 6 weeks. Also, is there's anybody here that has the same timeline as me? Just curious to know who my "batch mates" are?

Hello. Has anyone had their visa approved without submitting an NBI clearance to the embassy? It's one of my problems right now coz I only got a police clearance.

Ychelle Anne..You need not come back to the Philippines anymore just apply to ahpra for assessment wait for your eligibility and apply for BP..While waiting for your eligibility apply for short courses like cert.in aged care 111 so you get a certificate and can earn higher pay..Then once your eligibility comes out enroll for BP and get your RN license.

I'm sorry. but based on experience, you dont get higher pay as RN even though you have cert in aged care. the only difference in RN pay is whether you have extensive previous work experience as RN or that you are going to be hired to work in a hospital or nursing home. hospitals pay more than nursing homes especially for new grads like us.

Thanks...where did you submit yours? Did you already got your approval? If yes, how long?
