What are the OPTIONS for nurses

anoja · October 2016

@ tooties @bunnyhunter,thankyou po mam, morethan 5 yrs na hosp experience ko mam,yun nga lang baka magwork muna ko pagdating djan, if kaya ng budget agad..sabay yun work and school..ask ko lang ulit,pwede ba OET kesa sa IELTS kung djan din ako mag rereview?kase sabi nila dapat daw ACAD un ielts and all 8 daw..tama ba?

tooties · October 2016

@anoja IELTS Acad all 7.0 although pag ielts all 8.0 k meron k additional 5pts but you dont need it naman eh kasi PR k its only useful sa mga mag apply p lng PR.

Go for PTE n lng easier price is higher but worth it. accepted by APHRA din. google m n lng what pte is.

as to work..frankly di k maka work sa nursing home kahit RN k n sa pinas kasi dapat may certificate 3 or 4 k in aged care so training ulit yan so pag ipunan m n lng for your bridging program. the reason is iba yung system nila dito you need to be trained sa mga lifting machines, no lift manual handling, legalities at yung mga mandatory reporting kaya i doubt you could work sa nursing home. Same with home care kasi mga carers dito meron din certificate 3 or 4 in disability and community service.

@ tooties thankyou mam,yun nga rin sabi ng mga kakilala ko na nauna..kaya work muna ng iba and ipon pra mkapag study ulit..

bunnyhunter · October 2016

@anoja yes tama si @tooties 7.0 ang required sa ielts acad. Yes pwede rin oet and pte.

Hello @anoja , Parehas kayo ng status ng wife ko. Ako and main applicant for 189 Visa and hopefully ma grant in the next few weeks. We were thinking and planning ahead whats the best way para maipagpatuloy ni wifey and kanyang profession sa AU. As I understand, kahit PR na anf visa and residing na sa AU, kailangan parin ng IELTS, PTE or OET equivalent sa7 on each module. tama po ba?
Thanks

anoja · October 2016

@ liam, same nga siguro kami sir ng wifey mo..kase c hubby ko pwede cia mkpag work as engr agad sa au..so ako tlga mag aadjust..kaya plan namin,ipon ng konti,then pag kaya na..aral ulit..sana lang months lang yun abutin..yun iba ko kaseng kilala years un inabot,kaya nagtatsnong ako ng difference..sir engr din po kayo?tapos na po kayo sa EOI?

anoja · October 2016

@bunnyhunter thanks po..hopefully maging okay na un EOI nmin..

tooties · October 2016

@liam Yes in answer to your question.

liam · October 2016

@anoja oo, engr din ako, as you can see on my sig. Nakapag lodge na kami ng VISA application and just waiting, hopefully ma-grant. It nice to have this kind of forum, it really helps a lot speacially sa ating mga baguhan. Lets keep sharing our experiences para makatulong din tau sa iba... Good luck sa atin.

liam · October 2016

@tooties thanks for the reply. Balak namin mag IELTS muna si wifey bago pumasok sa mga programs for nurses. Tama po ba maam Tooties? or are there any programs na pwedeng gawin while reviewing for ielts? Thanks... all the best.

tooties · November 2016

@liam Unfortunately IELTS or an equivalent english exam is a basic minimum requirements so you need it both to get in a nursing adaptation program and for APHRA registration. and your wife will find out why need atleast academic 7.0 kasi sa daming assessment,essay, reports n gagawin..

Good evening lang po. I have a few questions. Actually madami. Lol. Im a nurse in the philippines with 6yrs paid experience. Im planning to eventually migrate to australia with my husband. Questions... Ano dapat ko po gaein? Im actually here in sydney now visiting my . Tourist visa lang. Pwede ba ako pumunta sa aphra to ask questions and ano requirements nila. Another thing, wala pa ako ielts. Im planning to take ielts here na lang before i return to phils in december. Yung PTE ko kasi mababa speaking so most likely hndi nila yun icoconsider. Ano ba dapat ko gawin? Any suggestions or tips kung pano process.

Thanks in advance everyone!

Rmdee_1819261 · November 2016

Another quetion po. Mas maganda ba kung mag bridging program ako or mas okay kung kukuha ako ng bsn

bunnyhunter · November 2016

@Rmdee_1819261 yes pwede kang pumunta sa ahpra to ask pero lahat naman ng info nasa website pati yung form na kailangan mo ifill out. And yes dapat ok na english exam muna kasi kasama yun sa kelangan mo initially iprovide na evidence sa ahpra. much better kung bridging program na lang kasi it will just last for like 11 wks kaysa magtake ka ng uni na bsn. Masyado magastos bsn and sayang yung time kasi years mo yun i-take. And qualified ka naman for bridging,yung english exam lang talaga ang kulang.

Rmdee_1819261 · November 2016

@bunnyhunter sure po ba na 11wks lang? Yung visa ko kasi tourist sya pero pwede ako mag aral if less than 3months. Do you think okay yun kung sakali? Check ko website nila. Another thing db pag bridging program po parang mag lolodge ka application /papers then antantayin mo yung parang confirmation nila. Sorry hndi ko kasi alam po yung process. Salamat sa tulong!

bunnyhunter · November 2016

@Rmdee_1819261 depende sa school, yung iba nga shorter pa. And yes kelangan magprocess ka muna sa ahpra. Hintayin mo referral letter for bridging program bago ka maghanap ng school.

Rmdee_1819261 · November 2016

@bunnyhunter Okay medyo nakuha ko na. Super thank you po sa help. Matagal ba yung processing before ka mabigyan ngconfirmation ng ahpra? Mga gano po katagal kaya?yung sayo parang mga 8months eh. So ako pla maghahanap ng school as soon as may approval na ng ahpra. Ikaw po ba nag process ng sarili mong papers or nag agency or consult ka po sa mga migration agents?

anoja · November 2016

mam/sir, ask ko lang po..husband ko po kase un principal applicant..so hindi pako nirequire mag ielts.siya palang meron..and yun application namin visa 189..for eoi napo kami..siya kase makakapag work agad as engr..ako kase ang plan muna namin mag work muna ko ng kahit ano..ano po kaya pwede kong maging work dun sa au? kase sabi ng friend ko kahit daw homecare need parin mag bridging program..plan kase muna namin mag ipon..pero mag aaral din nman ako..pero di siguro agad..

TIA

bunnyhunter · November 2016

@Rmdee_1819261 yes ako lang, sariling sikap. Hehe! Naginquire lang ako sa mga agencies, then dun ako naliwanagan sa mgabprocess at requirements hehe

revsky · November 2016

@Rmdee_1819261 retake ka ulit ng PTE. concentrate ka sa speaking test at practice lang. meron din Occupational english test (OET). maybe may mga changes na naman sa ahpra requirement next year July 2017. kaya habulin mo lodge yung ahpra application before July 2017.
kaya yan mam/sir. dasal lang.

rejai_11 · November 2016

@anoja u can take cert in aged care, few weeks lessons nasa mga $800-900 aud yun then pag may cert kana pede kana work as AIN.
pero mas maganda parin start mo na ang english exam mo, apply for ahpra to get the referral for bridging and do bridging, sayang ang panahon, malaki kita pag RN na.

rejai_11 · November 2016

@Rmdee_1819261 kunting basa basa lang sa forum kaya mo mag diy sa process, madali lang naman. Madali na response ng ahpra lately mga 1-2mos the most.So try again with pte or ielts or whichever feel mo makuha mo ang score na need ng ahpra.As for bridging u can do it while on tourist visa,need mo lang ideclare sa immigration. And basahin mo na rin ang ahpra website andun guidelines and requirements sa mga internationally qualified RNs.
Goodluck.

anoja · November 2016

@ rejai_11 yes mam mag take din ako ng oet..medyo unahin lng nmin un nagastos..then ipon..hopefully makapag aral agad..sana makapag hanap lang ako ng work agad..

Rmdee_1819261 · November 2016

@bunnyhunter thanks soo much sa help! Will do that! Magtatanong tanong muna ako., hehehe. Thanks sobra! Atleast medyo may konting idea ako.

Rmdee_1819261 · November 2016

@revsky tinatanggap po ba ng aphra PtE? Sa website kasi nila ielts lang nakalagay. I took pte kasi mabilis lumabas result kumpara po sa ielts. Thanks for the advance info po! Tama! Samahan talaga ng dasal at cempre dapat pagsikapan talaga! Thanks po ulit!

Rmdee_1819261 · November 2016

Okay, salamat sa po sa info. Nagtatanong tanong nga po ako eh. Medyo mabilis din po pla. So sure po na okay lang mag bridging ka while on tourist visa as long as na fulfill mo requirements ng ahpra and may confirmation ka na you can do the bridging program? Thanks. Pasesnya da mi tanong. Lol

Rmdee_1819261 · November 2016

@rejai_11 sorry po that message was for you.

revsky · November 2016

@Rmdee_1819261 accepted ang PTE-academic sa AHPRA, Anmac at DIBP.

butterfly · November 2016

Hi po. Anyone here who lodge his/her ANMAC assessment last 2013 or prior? Were you also using the format for reference letter with the ANZSCO code and tasks info on it? My concern is that I have a reference letter from my previous employer dated 2013 and there is no ANZSCO code. I am planning to just insert the ANZSCO code to that letter because I cant request for a new one anymore since I am no longer connected in the hospital. Do you think the format for reference letter today is the same last 2013? With the needed ANZSCO code? I emailed ANMAC if a 2013 ref letter is still acceptable and they said it yes as long as with the needed info.

Thanks in advance for your response.

revsky · November 2016

@rejai_11 Hello mam. yung sa anmac skills assessment results,naka-indicate po ba kung ilang points para sa work experience? claim sana ng 15 points para sa 8 year work experience.
