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

    iamnomad replied to Silverdragon102's topic in Nurse Registration

    if we base it on AHPRA's rule, then you are not eligible for registration. And I think AHPRA sent you a letter requiring you to provide proof of recency of practice? Then I assume if you don't have...

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

    iamnomad replied to Silverdragon102's topic in Nurse Registration

    Hi to all! What's the rate of approval for a tourist visa application if you're an RN and the main purpose of travel is not only for holiday but to get my registration personally? Will DIAC accept a...

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

    iamnomad replied to Silverdragon102's topic in Nurse Registration

    Hi. I don't think there's really a priority for those with experience in "first world" countries. I have US work experience and still I waited 7 months for the approval (AHPRA-ACT). From what they...

    iamnomad replied to missmfhc's topic in Immigration Advice

    by the way, you live in Kansas but you are registered under CA BRN? Are you gonna move there or endorse your license here in

    Welcome to good ol'

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

    iamnomad replied to Silverdragon102's topic in Nurse Registration

    No, I'm still looking for a job. I guess that's one of the disadvantage of not having to do a bridging program. Because those who did the BP (or who are doing it) were lucky (will be) enough to be...

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

    iamnomad replied to Silverdragon102's topic in Nurse Registration

    i guess guys (and gals) you need to be patient. I was very impatient when I was waiting for my registration but I think the more I email and contact them, the more my application got "side-tracked"...

  8. Aged Care Certificate, anyone knows this?

    iamnomad replied to rhose_30's topic in International Nursing

    you know what, your fear on taking the IELTS will not take you anywhere. You'd rather study something that's totally unnecessary and would cost a lot of money than invest your efforts and time...

    Hi. Yes, I passed NCLEX-RN back in 2008 and I'm currently working here in the US. I did not take TOEFL, but I took

    iamnomad replied to stacey05's topic in Immigration Advice

    what most people do is apply for CGFNS first (since it takes 4-6 months for them to process the CES after receiving all the requirements), then take English exam while waiting for the CES. Although...

  11. Help! Foreign Nurse affected with retrogression since 2006

    iamnomad replied to FredJr's topic in Immigration Advice

    I really don't know. Oregon was my initial state of licensure so I'm not aware of the endorsement processing times. But back when I applied for my license, it took them just 4 weeks to process the...

    iamnomad replied to stacey05's topic in Immigration Advice

    No, I am already an RN here and I am not based in WA. During my time (2008-2009), the popular destination for RN licensure is New Mexico because they are not as strict with the other states. My...

    iamnomad replied to stacey05's topic in Immigration Advice

    simple internet search will lead you to this: -they require TOEFL (and I can't remember if my friend took TOEFL or not) -you need a CGFNS Credential Evaluation Service -some sort of AIDS training...

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

    iamnomad replied to Silverdragon102's topic in Nurse Registration

    i'm not a cgfns exam passer, but i did submit my cgfns ces to ahpra. i just had mine photocopied and certified by a notary. ahpra did not ask for cgfns to send it directly. i think ahpra doesn't give...

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

    iamnomad replied to Silverdragon102's topic in Nurse Registration

    I think so, because it is considered an original document from the source. AHPRA - ACT took a while to finalize my application - 7 months in total. But that's because my application went from the case...

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

    iamnomad replied to Silverdragon102's topic in Nurse Registration

    They have the format. I think it's the Certificate of Good Standing (?). I asked AHPRA before if we have to use it since not all areas in there are applicable to overseas nurses. They said that it was...

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

    iamnomad replied to Silverdragon102's topic in Nurse Registration

    i think the inclusion of course description depends on what is written in your TOR. Others are requested to provide such because their TOR's aren't enough to tell whether you have enough hours or...

  18. Visa Screen

    iamnomad replied to tinytealc's topic in International Nursing

    information or documents you already sent to CGFNS may be used again by CGFNS to process your Visa Screen. All other documents not included should be sent directly from the source. You may find that...

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

    iamnomad replied to Silverdragon102's topic in Nurse Registration

    in Question 5 (principal place of practice) - i'm pretty sure I didn't put an Australian address in here simply because I am not in Australia. I just wrote "USA". Question 11 (qualifications) - I...

  20. U.S. Citizen Educated in Philippines Want to Take the NCLEX

    iamnomad replied to Lanze's topic in International Nursing

    it's not the CGFNS Exam. What most states need is the CGFNS CES, which is an evaluation of your nursing education's comparability / equivalency to US

  21. Help! Foreign Nurse affected with retrogression since 2006

    iamnomad replied to FredJr's topic in Immigration Advice

    You need to re-take your IELTS but not the NCLEX. Also, I don't think you need to renew your VisaScreen right away. Just be sure it's not expired by the time you need to show it to the immigration....

  22. U.S. Citizen Educated in Philippines Want to Take the NCLEX

    iamnomad replied to Lanze's topic in International Nursing

    I don't think ISO certification will make a difference. My school in Morayta is ISO-certified as well but that doesn't make me any greater or lesser than the rest of the applicants, or did it make a...

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

    iamnomad replied to Silverdragon102's topic in Nurse Registration

    I submitted all the documents I can possibly think of. I included my CGFNS CES, several ER training (PALS, TNCC, EKG), continuing education, etc. The reason why they waived the bridging program for me...

  24. EB3b greencard for nurses

    iamnomad replied to bsnwnab's topic in International Nursing

    Nurses can be sponsored through the EB-3 category. Nurses are even listed as a Schedule A workers - which means there's an absolute shortage and processing is "expedited". (which is not the case...

  25. CGFNS' Credential Evaluation Service

    iamnomad replied to rgm07's topic in Nurse Registration

    oh, I forgot. CGFNS told me not to include the licensure verification in my application. and on my CES report, it's stated that I'm not a Philippine RN license
