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.

As for me, I try not to panic first because if experience is what they need, then I'll give it to them. Maybe not now but soon. My main goal is to get an OZ license and I'll start a new beginning from there.
Good. Let me put it this way. You know the saying "Don't count your chickens when your eggs hasn't hatched?" Well... It goes somewhat the same. I understand how some people may have fears regarding job hunting in Australia. But like I always say... It is hard but not that hard. So just get it from there.
I do not want to expound so much 'cause I do not like it when people starts to fret and panic and all without even knowing what the real scenario is (purely 2nd or 3rd hand information). All I am saying is yes it is a bonus if you've got the experience to boast... And it's good (really good) if you are confident with your written and oral English. And then just apply in the numerous nursing advertisement online all over Australia once you get your registration. For sure you will get a job. Just make sure you converse well so you do good during any interview. And your personality matters a lot during a face to face interview. That's all I can say.
Hello! Has anyone contacted College of Nursing in Burwood recently? Have you guys happened to fish out some info about their BP and the schedules for next year? havent got a reply from them since I sent an email last week. Prolly it just caught up with the holidays.
I got my endorsement letter/ eligibility letter last 22nd of dec., so I am basicallly on my school hunting phase now. Anyho, I wish everyone a prosperous 2011! :)
Awww.. So how are you going to do it then? I hope everything will be alright.
Hi glitz!
Sorry for taking so long to reply but I´ve been doubling shifts a lot lately,so no time to check msgs...
So, when the time comes,I´ll go to the brazilian Nursing Council with the AGOS form in my hand and tell them exactly what´s written in the form, and which things should contain in the letter that they´ll have to send directly to AHPRA.
Happy new year to all nurses still pursuing their Australian/New Zealand dream! God bless us always! May we all have a bountiful 2011 ahead of us! Go, fight, win guys! :)
:yeah:
are you going to take your BP in burwood? :)
