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.

Part 1 thread New grad Filipino nurse wanting to work in Australia/New Zealand - Nursing for Nurses

An RN 1.9 normally gets about 39-40 AUD an hour. To remind our readers again, we normally have 9 years or more experience as RNs.

It is unlikely that you will get that rate if you are a new RN. You should google for entry level RN rates or RN 1.0? or 1.1 to get an idea of how much you might earn.

i think they get roughly on what I get. starting i guess was 27 or above... correct me if im wrong I asked few friends and thats what they get.

yup agreed that why i said RN in this company was getting a lot because most of them were OLDIES. =)

hi everyone, been reading the thread for a while and got some questions.

1. the procedure and skills checklist being asked for the cv, do i use my schools checklist ( which may be incomplete, tried comparing it with some i see on the net ) or should i used the ones i find in the internet?

[color=#990000]i combined both, to make it more comprehensive...

2. when sending my papers to an aphra territory, which address do i send the one with p.o. box or the building address.

i read somewhere here that if you're sending thru dhl or any expensive courier, you send it to the building address, because they ask for someone to receive it... if you use philipost, you can send it thru the po box...

i'm just left in finalizing my cv and the statement of service that needs to be redone because it doesn't say the details. i'm afraid might make mistakes and not get registered. would need some help. thanks.

please reread the start of this thread to learn more...

Ey-em... may I ask if you already had a flight for Australia? May I ask what airline you use? I was looking for the cheapest but I read in the older post you can have connecting flights (via kuala lumpur) to make your flight cheaper... but it sounds complicated...

@ Mr E-nigma and G3stalt . . :lol2: I'm sorry for that . . I thought It was Mr E-nigma's post . .phiew:p .. :nurse:

depends on where your going.. which state?

guys... guys.. i need your opinion on this. should I or should I not present a job offer if I have one? they said they will prioritize people with job offers? do you think other than the date it can alter the result?

In my opinion, having a job offer is to your advantage.
