Philippine registered nurse to australian enrolled nurse

Published

I am a registered nurse from the Philippines and I dont really want to take the bridging program because I lack the financial capacity to support it. I am planning to register to as an Enrolled Nurse in Australia. Do I somehow qualify?

According to AHPRA no RN education does not equal EN scope of practise. You can be tedt case I suppose, biggest question is: how will you have a work permit? If approved. If PR great, but for others thinking this may bd z cheaper way into Australia, getting registration as an EN will not get you sponsorship nor A pR visa as yoh would be considered an EN with no EN experience, no points for a degree no points for oversess experience, EN, skill does not qualify for regional sponsorship and if any employer tried to sponsor it would questioned highly by everyobe I woulc imagine.

EN went on thd sol lust to capturd experienced LPN from US and equivalent qual from Canada, these can get PR status as the have experience as an EN. not RN qual that want easier registrTion with AHPRA.
