  1. Help me decide on going to New Zealand, Im from Philippines.

    iamnomad replied to treeztuhn's topic in Nurse Registration

    I think you'd only be exempted for the two-year work experience requirement if you do the whole nursing program in NZ, and not just some sort of bridging

  2. Meeting AHPRA requirements as a International Trained Nurse from the Philippines

    iamnomad replied to Silverdragon102's topic in Nurse Registration

    I know everyone would want to be exempted from the bridging program because it is just expensive. However, realistically speaking, it may not be the case for most overseas nurses even with the change...

    iamnomad replied to Silverdragon102's topic in Nurse Registration

  4. Meeting AHPRA requirements as a International Trained Nurse from the Philippines

    iamnomad replied to Silverdragon102's topic in Nurse Registration

    actually, since mtruzan17 has a PR, she is eligible for FEE-HELP loan. You just have to make sure that you study in an approved provider. See this link: FEE-HELP - Study

  5. need your advice

    iamnomad replied to red_caviar's topic in Australia, New Zealand

  6. Nurse Practitioner in Australia?

    iamnomad replied to ShalomRN's topic in Australia, New Zealand

    The definition of "advanced practice" is somewhat broad. According to the NMBA: Advanced practice nursing, while potentially remaining clinical to some extent, may not purely be confined to clinical...

  7. Places that still use Nurse Uniforms?

  8. best credential evaluation service

    iamnomad replied to sanarn's topic in General World

    You should follow whatever the school requires. If the assessment of your education is equivalent to only that of an LPN, then you have to comply with the deficiency (e.g units of study, etc)....

    WES. They're widely accepted as well. But check the universities that you want to apply

  10. advices in studying nursing in Australia

    iamnomad replied to zuiqingfeng's topic in Australia, New Zealand

    I have been visiting NSW Health's website since at least August 2013. It's very rare that I see vacancies that can accommodate new grads. Most of the ads require some sort of experience before they...

  11. Phil grad nurse in the UK , moving to Australia

    iamnomad replied to ordoghaz's topic in Immigration Advice

    Based on AHPRA's past assessments, you won't be required to do a bridging course. I know nurses from Ireland and UK and they didn't have to go through the bridging program. I have a US RN licence and...

    iamnomad replied to pogzRN's topic in Immigration Advice

    glad to hear. whereabouts in Sydney, pogzRN? just a little bit of info. In addressing the selection criteria, they would want you to actually specify the: a. relevance and/or importance of the...

  13. Chances of getting a nursing job after bridging. What are the factors?

    iamnomad replied to Idealscholar's topic in International Nursing

    I don't think the warnings are racist in nature. I am a Filipino nurse and naturally, I would have empathy and support for my fellow Filipino nurses and would encourage them to try their "Aussie...

  14. Undergrad work experience

    iamnomad replied to Dara-mfon's topic in General World

    You mean internship as early as now (your 2nd year BSN) or after your studies? I suggest you focus on your studies for now. It is very hard to find internships for international students especially in...

    iamnomad replied to Silverdragon102's topic in Nurse Registration

    iamnomad replied to jhon niño's topic in Philippines

    if your main goal for taking up nursing is to work abroad, think again, unless you have permanent residency or citizenship abroad. you probably know by now the unemployment of nurses in the...

  17. Employment in Australia as a Registered Nurse?

    iamnomad replied to boheme_jenne's topic in General World

    The demand for nurses in NZ is probably not as great as the demand in Australia. I have colleagues from my country (Philippines) who went first to NZ as a nurse and ended up working here in Australia....

  18. Where a BSN,RN nurse would be welcomed as an worker immigrant easily ?

    iamnomad replied to asddas's topic in Immigration Advice

    All those countries require you to be proficient on their own language. I think you can practice in Singapore with just the English language, but I could be wrong. I believe you also need to do...

  20. Where a BSN,RN nurse would be welcomed as an worker immigrant easily ?

    iamnomad replied to asddas's topic in Immigration Advice

    New Zealand? Well, it's not easy really since you have to do some sort of bridging program, just like in Australia. And NZ's immigration and employment condition is somewhat comparable to Australia...

  23. Postgraduate Degrees

    iamnomad replied to iamnomad's topic in Australia, New Zealand

    thanks Ceridwyn. I believe Flinders' program has an on-campus attendance (e.g 3 days a semester, etc). It wouldn't suit me as I live in Wollongong and works 2 jobs. But I will look into it. I also...
