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

[Silverdragon102]

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.

Hi glioblastoma!

yes the number of hours were indicated in my statement of service because i asked the nursing service to put it when i requested for the certificate. and yes, luckily i passed the IELTS last nov. 2009 with the following scores : Listening 8.5. Reading 7.5, Writing 7, Speaking 7, Gen. Average 7.5. :)

AHPRA doesn't have a specific format, but they have specific entries there that need to be included in the one you make. I remember seeing that from their site, although I suggest you check again.

Wow, this new thread is 10 pages long already. Cioman, thanks for all the info:)

[nurseonduty17]

hi! we almost have the same # of volunteer exp and ielts grade too! ahihi. did you really volunteer 5x/week for 1 year? so that would be 1920 hours (8hours x 5days x 4 weeks x 12months = 1920 hours) if my computation is correct. that's amazing!

in your statement of service, what "role" is indicated? when i e-mailed AHPRA, 3 people replied. the first one is on leave, the second one said that "role" means if you are RN or EN, but the third one said that "role" means the job description itself. so which is which? (can i also see your SoS? ahihi, it's ok if you don't want to)

you are so diligent! i only have 9 months volunteer exp but it's still continues so i think it'll reach 1 year come BP. but i'm too busy with facebook to attend everyday ahihi. maybe i'll ask them to "doctor" it since i'm not being paid. ahihi!

btw, can i ask where did you volunteer? it's uncommon for hospitals to allow more than 3 months of volunteer work. but i think PGH has minimum of 6 months. and in ospital ng muntinlupa (hospital of muntinlupa), where i volunteer, it's unlimited. ahihi!

whenever i think of going on volunteer duty, i feel lazy (because i'm not paid) just thinking of the pinoy henyo (guessing game) i have to do with patients who can't speak because their intubated, the suctioning, OF and "pukpok" or smashing (?) of tablets, be at risk of verbal abuse by doctors, and urethras that won't allow entry of catheters. ahihi!

btw, i'm also looking for a sample CV, if you want, let's exchange our CV (minus the personal details for privacy purposes) so we can compare what's missing or what's not to put.
