Pursuing Masters in Nursing :)

teachernino

Hello everyone! I really need your info if you have something to share. Here's my concern:

1) Graduated from Cebu Doctors University, passed the Board exams and undergone a training for first aid, Is it equivalent for Bachelor's degree in Australia?

My target is in UNE, Armidale... Thanks mga Pinoy! this site is the best!!!

Ask ko lang, bakit ka mag masters doon? Gusto mo bang maging RN doon? Or gusto mong mag masters para added qualification at bumalik sa Pinas? Or para maging permanent resident doon?

Hindi ko sure sa background ng Masters sa UNE pero usually hindi ka magiging RN doon with that. Check mo kung makaka qualify ka as RN after. Mostly kasi hindi talaga maliban na lang kung entry level masters iyan katulad sa UniMelb. Kung mag RN ka take bridging, conversion or bachelors.

Kung babalik ka ng Pinas, no problem.

Kung gusto mo maging PR, just make sure na two years ang course mopero yun nga, baka hindi ka maging RN.

I just read their website, may Master of Nursing Practice pala sila na entry level. 2.5 years which will lead to RN registration.

I think there are better, cheaper, shorter and more practical options than this.

Thank you very much Born for your suggestion, Yah that's really one of my major goal to be an RN that is qualified for international standard. Since I'm a graduate from Cebu Doctors University, Board passer as well. I really don't know if my credential belongs to Section 1 or section 2..

Got any ideas?

I will do my research on Master of Nursing.

Hi po! Yung sa unimelb na master of nursing sci will automatically lead to registration? Talked about this with my agent and sabi niya hindi daw pero sa website naman parang iniimply na pwede naman.

Born

Yes, I think so kasi may iba talaga silang Master courses. Yung Master of Nursing Science kasi ay para doon sa mga may previous degrees na or international graduates. Kung titignan mo kasi ang courses nila, wala na silang Bachelor sa nursing. Sariling understanding ko lang ito, pero most likely tama ako at tama ka rin sa intindi mo. Mas matalino ka pa sa agent mo. Madalas kasi yung gusto nilang ioffer ang ipipilit nila sa iyo. Doon kasi sila kikita. Haha.

Pero yun nga, sobrang mahal sa UniMelb.

Hi gold!!!! what's the name of your school that you've graduated when you took up your bachelor of nursing? is it equivalent of AUS degree?

Born

@teachernino Your bachelor's degree should be equivalent with Au bachelor's degree as per AHPRA/DIBP. Kapag board passer ka kasi, kahit anong section ka pa, equal ka.

teachernino

Wow.. Thanks @born ... That gives me an assurance.. What phase are you now in your application process?

Born

RN now.

@Born I just checked uinmelb's website regarding this. It states that the Master of Nursing Sci program is acceedited by AHPRA pero it did not say anything about being an eligible registrant upon completion of the course. So I guess tama naman ang advice sakin aince family friend din yun 🙂)

GoldSeeker

@teachernino Im not a nursing grad but I plan to be a registered nurse by doing a graduate entry course

teachernino

Thats good @Goldseeker.. are you from Cebu? sa IDP kasi ako.. ikaw?

Born

Oo nga noh. I asked my agent twice about this na kasi. I'll try to ask an agent from another company. Thank you for this. 🙂

Hindi po eh. Pathway ko to PR yung studies ko if ever.

Sabihin mo mag research kasi siyang mabuti. Haha. Grabe ang mahal ng course na iyan. Haha

Yup pero compared sa 3yr course, mas mura na siya. Considering na masteral pa 🙂) Pinaka mura sa Flinders naman graduate entry course sin

yup, may friend ako na Oz, nag Bachelor of Health Promotion siya dati at gusto niya maging Div 1 Nurse kaya nagenrol sa Masters in Nursing Science ng Melb Uni

tama at tsaka isa pa, may sariling process yung Melb Uni at tatanungin talaga nila kung bakit ka pa mag maMasters in Nursing Science, eh nurse ka na sa atin at may bridging course naman. Yan yung feedback sa akin, pero hindi ko naman ma-verify kasi hindi ako dun nagapply..
