  1. Saw this post from 2010. New Zealand nursing?

    YeXinZhi replied to Guttercat's topic in International Nursing

    Hello, The current RN salary scale gives an RN with at least 4 years experience an annual salary of NZD66,750.00 for a full time equivalent (80 hours/fortnightly). That's roughly NZD32/hour. This, by...

  2. Help! Moving to Melbourne, Australia

    YeXinZhi replied to maryhadalittleann's topic in Australia, New Zealand

    I think some states and hospitals are transitioning towards electronic charting. 12-hour shifts are the exception, not the norm in Australia. Areas like ICU and ED do 12 hour shifts but not medical...

  3. Help! Moving to Melbourne, Australia

    YeXinZhi replied to maryhadalittleann's topic in Australia, New Zealand

    I don't think there is a skills portion of the registration process unless AHPRA requires you to sit a bridging program. Nursing in Australia - generally RNs do holistic work, meaning you do all...

    YeXinZhi replied to Britnursecalibound's topic in International Nursing

    How did your journey to the US

  6. Quebec integration program for nurses

    YeXinZhi replied to Remnant_89's topic in Immigration Advice

    Whatever people's motivations are to go into nursing, it is not anyone's business as long as you are a competent and safe nurse. A lot of people go into nursing for greener pastures, whether it be a...

  7. PICC/IV RN

    YeXinZhi replied to jcanonizado's topic in Australia, New Zealand

    Congrats on your specialty training. I doubt if that practice is widespread in Australia. If it is, I would imagine a theatre ICU, or interventional radiology setting. You can probably put a case...

  8. Where to work abroad

    YeXinZhi replied to das729's topic in International Nursing

    How about

  9. FILIPINO UK RN to AU RN

    YeXinZhi replied to chrstna's topic in International Nursing

    The only sure way to find out about whether or not you need to go through the bridging program is to apply for registration with AHPRA. They assess applications on an individual basis. I worked with...

  10. IV Cannulation Courses - Melbourne - Recommendations?

    YeXinZhi replied to phoebe2020's topic in Australia, New Zealand

    Hi nursiebean, IV cannulation and phlebotomy training is usually work-specific (work trains and certifies your competency). I say this because I'm not sure if an external course would be accepted as...

  11. Any hospital recruiting international nurses in New York

    YeXinZhi replied to pjsrav's topic in International Nursing

    I agree. PinayUSA's comments should be taken with a grain of salt. Some immigrants have this attitude called 'crab mentality' and sadly they hate the fact that other immigrants can make it big in the...

  12. why can't nurses get safe staffing laws passed

    YeXinZhi replied to lee1's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I don't know about the numbers but I can guess that the US does not have high union membership rates. I've worked in both Australia and NZ and union membership rates are very high. It is hard to come...

  13. Rn's grading and leveling in Australia

    YeXinZhi replied to dy3p's topic in Australia, New Zealand

    There's really not much of a difference in your case. You'll be paid the highest pay point as an RN coz of your experience and between that and the first CN paypoint is about $1.20 difference per...

  14. Rn's grading and leveling in Australia

    YeXinZhi replied to dy3p's topic in Australia, New Zealand

    I'm Filipino too. Have you looked at Prince Charles Hospital in Brisbane? They do cardiothoracic surgeries there. Also Gold Coast University Hospital has been recruiting ICU nurses for months now. If...

  15. Australia or Canada for nursing?

    YeXinZhi replied to Plarsise's topic in Nurse Registration

    I agree with dishes. I worked and lived in Australia for 5 years. The term unionized wasn't used because all hospitals are unionized. Australia has a very high union membership rate, and the nursing...

  16. Rn's grading and leveling in Australia

    YeXinZhi replied to dy3p's topic in Australia, New Zealand

    Congratulations in the job! Where are you from if you don't mind me asking? I was a clinical nurse at the royal Brisbane hospital for 5 years. Clinical Nurse is nurse grade 06 on the grading system....

    YeXinZhi replied to azirr05's topic in Nurse Registration

    Hi, I just wanna ask you a question. I am in similar situation as you were before. I am a graduate of the Philippines (2004) and I passed my NCLEX in 2008 through California but never got licensed...

  19. Any Canadian RNs going to Australia?

    Yes, check out the AHPRA website. You will need your qualifications assessed you determine eligibility for registration. The process can take months so I suggest you get started

  21. HIV positive Filipino nurses

    YeXinZhi replied to Cruisome_RN's topic in Immigration Advice

    The other important thing is that each hospital or institution will have different policies and attitudes towards HIV. Even states differ from each other in this regard. It would be wise to check...

  22. HIV positive Filipino nurses

    YeXinZhi replied to Cruisome_RN's topic in Immigration Advice
