    @abbygailmbn Pwede mong increase yung score mo sa English Test, magaral uli at habang nagaaral, pwede kang magwork para yung magkaroon ka ng experience as RN dito sa Au. Pwede ka ring take nung NAATI Test.

    Nakakatuwa ang daming nagreply, pasensya na po sa lahat. Naffrustrate na po kasi ako kung may pag asa pa ba ako or wala na. pag nag birthday po ako next year 60 points nalang po ako eh. November.

    @aj.skywalker pareho po tayo. I only have 65 pts. Only difference is just starting my BP this month sa ACN. Based on my few readings, few of them kumuha ng Leadership and Management.. Yan din plan ko after BP incase hindi maka kuha ng sponsorship.. Better kasi if onshore ka while job hunting for work sponsorship. Hay nko nakaka stress yung changes sa immigration, hope we could still get a TSS/482 sponsorship..

    Incase may better na course for student VISA after registration, kindly share with us po..

    Yan nga din po tinitignan ko ngayon maam, Leadership and Management, yan ata pinakamura and may payment plans eh, sa tingin ko po ah. pinag aaralan ko pa po hehe
    Cassey said:

    @aj.skywalker Occupational Safety is another course that you can look into. Try to get a course na hindi masydong expensive. Submit resume to Agencies as well like Sugarman, etc.

    Sige po maam, pag aralan ko po yan, thank you po, yung sa agencies po kasi tingin ko po Company nurse kasi experience ko kaya baka ayawan po nila ako :(
    dy3p said:

    @aj.skywalker Kung RN kana dito, why dont you try and look for a hospital na magssponsor sayo? 482 that is. That way, you can work for a year or two then plus points yun sa points tested. May iba din way yung 186 which is yung facility mo magssponsor sayo after that period. Sa mga regional nga lang most of the sponsorships, but hey, if it works. Why not.

    Na max mo naba yung points mo pwede makuha sa english test (IELTS, PTE)?

    Naghahanap po ako sir kaso either magrereply po sila na hindi daw sila nagssponsor or hindi magrereply at all po. Gusto ko nga po sana ng sponsorship kaso po wala talaga eh. Iniisip ko po bumalik dyan to look for work kaso po natatakot ako na baka wala ako makuha po.

    Sa totoo nga po mas gusto ko sa regional kesa sa City eh. Wala po talaga ako makuha eh. nakakalungkot.

    Yes po, max score na din po ako sa english exam eh.
    Marie said:

    @aj.skywalker,
    RN currently where? If you are in AU, as @dy3p mentioned, look for an employer na mag-sponsor. And correct din sya, na mostly ay nasa regional ang nagbibigay ng sponsorship, here in QLD, there is a hospital(s) in Brisbane who sponsored some students who graduated in QUT

    Nasa PH po ako ngayon eh, pero anytime naman po pwede ako bumalik ng Australia pag may sinabe na gusto nila ako makausap face to face basta po eh masponsoran lang. Regional din po talga gusto ko kaso wala po ako makuha. kailangan po ba andyan ako pag nag apply?

    @abbygailmbn Kelan ba matatapos ang conversion program mo?

    While hindi naman assurance talaga pero since mas matagal ang conversion program compared to BP you have more chances to expose yourself to the work environment dyan. I suppose mas mahaba din ang clinical exposures ninyo so mas maraming opportunities to be noticed by prospective employers.

    Of course you have the option to get another course/program and extend your student visa if budget is not a problem.

    Pero for the meantime, assuming na matatapos mo na ang conversion this year, start sending out your CVs.

    @drnc_13 If you have free time, pwede ng maghanap as early as now. Though most hospitals would prefer applicants who are AHPRA registered, you’ll never know especially if you have a good overseas experience and baka makatsamba ka rin ng hospital na in dire need of nurse/s.

    @aj.skywalker Don’t lose hope, :) Isipin mo na lang na at least RN ka na rito. Nakaone step ka na towards your Au goal. Kung hindi ka makakahanap ng magsponsor sayo pwede kang magaral uli and work part time as a Nurse, that way makakagain ka ng Au experience mo. Try to take the naati test, 5points din yun.

    To meet this requirement, you must have completed in no less than 16 calendar months either:
    a single qualification requiring at least two academic years study (92weeks)
    more than one qualification resulting in a total period of at least two academic years study.
    be either a degree (a bachelor or any higher degree), a diploma, an advanced diploma, or a trade qualification


    Is Leadership and Management a diploma course?

    @danjoe03 There must be a compelling reason why you cannot get COGS from the agency there. AHPRA may accept a statutory declaration/affidavit but you must have exhausted all means to be able to acquire the COGS.

    I think, they are aware of the difficulty of getting COGS from gulf countries specially if you have already left but in all cases, that is dependent on the registration officer who will be handling your case.

    @danjoe03 Hi! I am also working in Oman and before I use to work in a previous hospital who is not under MOH. Usually good standing you can get it from the HR and just get a supporting letter from MOH that they are not releasing the said document. Ganun kasi ginawa ko before sa HAAD application. Baka sakali maka lusot khit na hindi sa for bridging un gnawa ko baka sakali lang.. hehehe
