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
hello everyone!regarding the Course Description for AHPRA, would having the basic nursing subjects be enough for it? or should i have all the subjects be included ( minor subjects like english, math, chemistry, zoology, speech etc)?
My school only issued the nursing subjects' description
also, regarding the vaccinations, plz correct me if i'm wrong:
most schools usually require 2 shots of MMR, 2 shots of varicella, as well as Dtap which is only one shot.. Am i right? thanks everyone!
only nursing subjects :)
you got it right :) do all of it as soon as possible. it does take a lot of your time. Oh, PPD is included though it's not a vaccine. hehe

thank you so much! i got quite confused about it since i've read something in the earlier posts that it has to have both major ad minor subjects ( complete) from first to 4th year in college.

AHPRA usually do need all the subject descriptions for the whole of your 'nursing'degree, otherwise if all your nursing subjects do not add up to at best a 3 year full time nursing degree, you will not met the requirements of that of Australian nursing degree. Also if you are a 'second'' degree they must know the previous degree and how you were given credit for that degree.
They want to know about your whole degree, not just subjects taken from it...so yes in the past they have required more information on non nursing subjects.

thank you so much sr ceridwyn! you're right. it's safer to put everything together instead.
To Filipino nurses out there, does the Board cErtificate/ diploma actually need to be a certified true copy issued by PRC? or would a photocopy of it and notarized by a notary public be sufficient already? big thanks to everyone!
good day! i have been following this thread for quite a while now and thought of signing up so that i'd be able to be informed too of the latest updates on ahpra-wa approval. i sent my application in december of 2011 and received an e-mail (final approval) last february 22, 2012. i followed up but they only responded with the usual "[color=#454545]please be advised that your application is still in assessment. "
i have some friends who applied last september and october 2011 and haven't received their loe yet. i'm just wondering if there's anyone who had already received his/her loe this month.
this whole application process is indeed a test of patience for everyone but let's keep our hopes high. god's timing is perfect. =)

hello there! which specific school of AAON did you submit your requirements? They informed one of the forumers here that their next intake is on August/September. Was the interview easy? thanks =)
