not using ym..maybe once in a blue moon..just go to my facebook...type in my email address...ok... tell me everything, i want know your progress my dear...hehe... sorry for the OT guys...

OMG! where have you been miss? hehe.. how are you? hows your application going? im quitting from my job february next year as im doing a Post Graduate Study... have you worked out as to which state you are going?

good luck to you...so you will be in sunny queensland, do you know someone there? i would like to work interstate in the future...probably somewhere in the northern part of australia. i hope there will be a unifrom pay rates across australia now that the national registration has taken effect...if my memory serves me right the state of victoria has the lowest pay rates for nurses...

as far as i know most state department of health in each state of australia offers a scholarship program for overseas trained professionals...but im just not sure if non PR visa holders are eligible to it, just browse their websites..:) in victoria, ETEA, is offering study now pay later, you can contact them and ask further information regarding it.:) however if you will pay cash the only worry you have is where to get the money, but once youve completed the course and landed a job you can easily earn A$3,500 - $4,500 a month...and lets say the bridging program will cost you A$10,000.. you can easily earn the money you spent for the bridging program in few months time of working... and if you need to borrow money from the bank or from someone, dont worry too much about it, whats important is you need to get an australian registration, once you have it, you can take it from there, you will be reaping the benefits guys...:)you can pay back your debts.

hi nurses, this is nice...however, it should state if you need to be a PR before you can avail this...but worth trying...

cleaned! done!you can mess it up now lol no worries...no im not gay, i just have a lawyer friend who is expert about family visa and partner visa...visa laws in australia easily change :) and she has handled a lot of these visa issues before so im a little bit oriented.

i really thought @gliobastoma is a female...anyway, same sex marriage in australia is not yet allowed however, people like @gliob..has an alternative option.if so happened that @gliob met an aussie guy they can always apply for a registered partnership just like a "de facto" relationship and that aussie guy can sponsor @gliob..to come to australia and be with him;) so @gliobastoma, you have got an option girl! hehe by the way nurses, i just saw filipino nurses today at The Alfred Hospital where im currently working, they had their orientation and all of them came from the UK working as UK nurses of course, theyve decided to transfer to australia as the cost of living in the UK is really high...i was just thinking how cool it would it be if it was you:)...i hope this will serve as an inspiration to you, dont stop applying, there are a lot of vacancies out there its just a matter of perseverance

ohh thank you for the good words... honestly, being a PR now doesnt make any difference, as ive known a lot of non PR people who need sponsorhip and landed a job than those PR people..it really depends upon your performance in your interview and the content of your resume...:)what the employers are looking, is for the applicant to have that can-do attitude, trainable, good background among others.. again..a major major thank you and good luck! (nahawa na ako sa yo @cioman)

not really...what matters most is your registration as a australian RN..however, in my own opinion, i was very confident and proud to put it in my resume and impart it to my panel of interviewers...;)as having been graduated from a university..deakin university will always be a part of my resume starting now. i think the institution from where youve graduated is just like a back up added points factor for you during job application...but the main thing is how you did well in the interview e.g if youre employable, if youve got the right attitude, your learning, your experience, your performance in your clinicals and it also depends upon your referees thank you. until now i still cant believe that im already a part of The Alfred Hospital...my interview with them was just very smooth, i did expect a positive outcome after the interview but not that much until i was hired. :) and mind you one of the interview questions was: "what was the major mistake youve made and how did you make it right" my answer: of course i didnt say "i dont have a major major mistake"...hahaha...seriously i cant remember my answer anymore, i was mental blocked after the interview.

yes. after i finished my BSN my parents sponsored me to come to australia.i was already in australia when the results of the nursing exams in the philippines was released. i wasnt able to attend the oath taking ceremony, i wasnt able to celebrate with my friends neither... hope to see you all here...by the way, nursing in australia is no different, they differ only in ,medical terms, drugs (brand names), spelling, and the way they do nursing here...but the main concept of nursing is still the same.

im already living here in australia for 4 years :)

Hi, thank you i hope to see you all here..:) right now im enjoying my full time job at The Alfred (melbourne's leading tertiary hospital together with the Royal Melbourne hospital and Austin Hospital ) i personally recommend VCHN and ETEA as ive known a couple of nurses who took their BP in these institutions and they told me that its easier there compared to Universities. beacuse we have compared it all. Universities have their standards to follow!!!im not scaring you guys,after all ive made it through to the gradution day at Deakin University, it can be managed however if theres a way that you could finish your BP without too much stress, then why not?! yes youre right! ive got $2,000 from the Dept. of Human services and $8,000 from the Australian Goverment.

hi, i think it depends upon the education provider you choose..if you all still remember ive posted here before the schools that ive recommended. ETEA or VCHN... if youre eyeing Deakin University,where i also did my BP, you have to review your pathophysiology and journal writing, as you will be doing these things at deakin. by the way, im already working at The (Royal Prince) Alfred Hospital in Melbourne...Acute Assessment and Acute Medical Unitsss...good luck to all of us

good on you donna...so staying there for good? like what weve talked before? good luck, i hope the USA is kind to you :) try wikipedia or askjeeves :) oh and they have different drug brand names here.some doctors still uses brand names. vacation will be on the 28th of this month. looking forward to seeing the south pacific, myself deserves a relaxation good luck cioman.

wow, youve included my alma mater in your 1st class nursing school list.. im a DDCian batch 2005. :) my fellow nurses, for you to have an idea hows the vacancies being posted in some of the health care facilities in victoria you can visit these following websites. www.westernhealth.mhr.com.au, www.southernhealth.mhr.com.au, www.barwonhealth.mhr.com.au at least you will have an idea on how they formulate position descriptions and that in the future you can prepare for it specially during interview. :okaY: and to all nurses who are preparing for the BP, google some australian medical terms as they have diffferent medical terms and spelling s.
