    iamnomad replied to Silverdragon102's topic in Nurse Registration

    no. they just asked me to write an essay on why should they hire me and why I want to work there. A bit unconventional way for an interview, huh? but there are employers that conduct their interviews...

    I don't know if they have a specific rules on who get exemptions other than the obvious - graduates of USA, UK, Ireland, Canada, NZ. They did not say why I got the exemptions but I'm pretty positive...

    iamnomad replied to Silverdragon102's topic in Nurse Registration

    if I go to Australia for work, it will not be my first time to leave the country either. I work in the US and I'm on vacation right now. But since POEA rules somewhat differ from those going to USA...

    iamnomad replied to Silverdragon102's topic in Nurse Registration

    hi. IF I apply for a job and subsequently given a 457 visa, do I still need an OEC from POEA? I hope there are ways to bypass this process. I had a VERY TERRiBLE experience from them the last time I...

    iamnomad replied to Silverdragon102's topic in Nurse Registration

    marcopol, it's not AHPRA's fault whether some applications are delayed, or jobs are limited, and most of all - giving overseas nurses a sense of false hope. Remember that registration as a nurse in...

    iamnomad replied to Silverdragon102's topic in Nurse Registration

    mbtaRN 1. Based on my understanding and from what I've been reading, the experience you gained should be within the capacity of a registered nurse. That's why they "accept" volunteer experience as...

    To be honest, I used AHPRA's CV instructions as a guide only. I still did my own format and all. I mean, as long as you put in your CV ALL the information that AHPRA is requiring on the CV, you'll be...
