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.

This is the REFERENCE LETTER issued me by my headnurse. Some details were changed
To Whom It May Concern:
Re: Ms. Juana dela Cruz
Registered Nurse
Date: May 2, 2012
This certifies that Ms. Dela Cruz joined the staff of King Johnson Hospital from March 1, 2001 to March 30, 2012 on a full time basis.
King Johnson Hospital has 450 beds.
She was assigned at the Medical Unit.
She was a safe practitioner and a hard worker with a good attendance record.
She is very professional and was one of our Charge Nurses.
Please do not hesitate to call me if I can be of any more assistance.
I wish Ms. Delacruz all the best in her future endeavours.

NOTE THAT THE LETTER DID NOT INCLUDE "detail the experience gained in the role e.g. clinical, education, research, management" so I guess prior to the endorsement, you may want to add:
As a staff, she was required to attend bi-monthly continuing education on hospital policies and issues, like medication administration, infection control, etc. She also represented the unit in the "Symposium on New Trends in Diabetes Mellitus." Likewise, her skills were enhanced by doing rotation duties in other wards at least once a month.
hello fellow nurses, I am scheduled for interview in IHNA nextweek and I am very anxious about the possible questions they will give. Is there anyone here who had already the interview for the bridging program? What are some of the questions? What should I do to impress them and get selected as one of their students? Thank you.
