  1. Bridging Program in Australia

    iamnomad replied to michikoy's topic in Nurse Registration

    honestly, employment situation has been difficult for overseas nurses. Majority of those who got hired has many years of experience. So taking the BP is a risk. It's up to you whether you want to take...

    iamnomad replied to ann12E's topic in Nurse Registration

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

    iamnomad replied to Silverdragon102's topic in Nurse Registration

    you're welcome. but yeah, with the tightening of 457 (temporary work) visas and the difficulties of finding jobs (be it Australians or overseas RNs), a longer program (ARNTP) will not be of advantage...

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

    iamnomad replied to Silverdragon102's topic in Nurse Registration

    i actually don't know the entire process after BP or ARNTP since I didn't undergo through those. I think the ARNTP school will do some (if not most) of the processing. But I think the process is...

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

    iamnomad replied to Silverdragon102's topic in Nurse Registration

    i always advise prospective RN's to undergo the BP if they're qualified instead of doing a longer ARNTP / conversion program (or whatever they call it) for several reasons: 1. it's cheaper in the long...

  9. Nurses not on the Canada Skilled list this time around

    iamnomad replied to Silverdragon102's topic in Immigration Advice

  11. Immigration Requirements for Australia and New Zealand

    iamnomad replied to Silverdragon102's topic in Immigration Advice

  14. filipino nurse wishing to work abroad

    iamnomad replied to glenllan's topic in Immigration Advice

    if you pick a country based on your IELTS score, then I think only some states in the US will accept it. But be mindful of the employment and immigration difficulties you'll be facing. but if you...

    iamnomad replied to ekev12's topic in Nurse Registration

  17. Employment opportunities after AUS Bridge Program

    iamnomad replied to FranzSeno's topic in International Nursing

  18. Immigration Requirements for Australia and New Zealand

    iamnomad replied to Silverdragon102's topic in Immigration Advice

    I don't think it's the best option. The only "benefit" you will get from this is being able to work part-time while studying (or maybe added points for immigration). But i would like to point out that...

  19. Philippines, Canada. Career conflict: Pursuing education. Help, please?

    iamnomad replied to sntb_nrs's topic in International Nursing

    if I were you, I'd stay in Canada. Philippine education may be cheaper, but that doesn't mean it's a good deal for you based on your situation. I mean, if your intention is to go back to Canada after...

  22. I passed the IELTS, what should I do with it?

    iamnomad replied to marchonebus's topic in International Nursing

    you also have to do the CAP in NZ. It's a 6-8 weeks programme similar to that of the bridging program. The available slots are limited, though. And you have to have a slot within 18 months. I don't...
