How to work in Australia as a nurse? Im a registered nurse here in the philippine and currently working as a trainor in a caregiver school. Because its really diffucult to get a hospital experience here in our country. The caregiver school that I'm working with currently partnered with Metropolitan South Institute of Tafe.
Do australia only allow student working visa? It's too expensive to study in a foregin country. MSIT also offers diploma in nursing which cost $18,000. when converted to philippine peso, it would cost 700,000 Php. I have to pay other things like airfare, house, trnaspo, food..
What can you recommend for foreigh nurses like me? I've heard that Australia is much better that US. And with the retrogression still ongoing, i have to wait 5 or more years.

Competency based Assessments for Internationally Qualified Nurses otherwise known as The Bridging program to gain registration in the different states of Australia----please compare. Here is the link:
this is were you can start -- please check out Queensland and note that their program is the fastest and cheapest way to get a Nursing Registration in Australia. any questionS? just add to this thread...you cant PM me yet-- I need 11 more posts.heeeeheeeeeheee!
I wonder if the booklet that the council will send you upon approval of your application is enough to cover the exam? or do you have to research on your own? or are all the information avaiable in the QNC website? :)
The challenge exam for Queensland is quite simple. The questions for the nursing skills part is based on Division 1 nursing. which means the test will not ask you difficult questions like the CGFNS or NCLEX-RN tests. Simple questions like normal temp,basic bls, basic knowledge in the common disease. hmmm!nice to know!
Was reading up on the Competency Assessment for Internationally Qualified Nurses and was wondering something...do any of you know if the challenge tests can all be done here in the Philippines? including the clinical (simulated) part? And if it is not passed, can the clinical module be taken as distance learning as well?
:D:D
