RN Jobs for PR and Citizens only?

louie017 · May 2013

New grad nurses on student visa cant find a job?

li_i_ren · May 2013

U need to take a bridging course first then get a rn license with aphra. Also required 7 in all for ielts. If u do not havean aphra rn license.. No one will even entertain u. No need to be a p.r or citizen just need an active aphra rn license.

Rn jobs are hard to find though as tough competition from brits. In our unit about 80% of our nurses are british.. Kunti lng nga ozzie, asians just 7 of us.

Done all that.... Tpos kna ba?

Ive been working in icu since last year. But im from nz icu still pero pinas educated and pinoy passport/ nz p.r:) And our hospital just accepted a pinay in our unit last april.. pinas educated din but may 1 year au nicu experience na. My sister's friends jjust got a job last feb and march at gosford... All no au experience just 3 yrs pinas nursing.

Another pinoy also from this forum is starting this may at p.o.w.

Must be the experience then?;)

We all have at least 5-7 years experience the nurses in sydney kids and p.o.w;)

I am not aware cause know alot of my younger sister's friends who just got jobs as nurses here in nsw just this year:) ... All straight from cebu and just finished bridging in melbourne;)

So maybe you are the one who is not aware where the jobs are?;)

but if u are referring to the new graduate program of most public hospitals as in meaning zero experience nurses. yes THAT is just for au educated nurses and it is only for 1 year paid experience hence only for p.r. and citizens para maka bayad sila ng student loans.

it not for zero experience foreign educated nurses who has r.n. licenses. kaya even before i do not advocate coming to au or any other foreign country without at least 3 years experience back home.

jobs are there but for those with experience kasi one will be competing with uk based nurses who are more experience and have the same health system. also with other nationalities.

try age care..puti dont like it there. most asians start with age care then apply elsewhere pag may experience na. i do not know how or why a foreign new grad thought it will be easy to find a job in au.

but again if foreign new grad ka.. not eligible for the new graduate program. 1 year paid experience lng yan and most do not get permanent jobs after the 1 yr. pang bayad lng yan ng student loan and for them to gain experience.

Hindi naman po yata. Kasi sa ospital kung saan ako nag-ta-trabaho ngayon, always po nag-advertise vacancies for nurses and midwives. Lagi po yan. Wala naman po sinasabi na kailangan PR ka. Willing mag-sponsor ng 457 yung ospital naman. Ibig po sabihin, may actual need.

As to level of competition, hindi ko rin po alam. But I have to be with @li_i_ren with this one. Madami Pinoy nurses dito. Ang sasaya nga nila kasama. Pero ang hahaba na po ng level of experience nila.

@louie017 hi. hindi totoo un na PR or citizen lang ung new grad. I applied my new grad program tinanggap nman nila ako when I was still a holder of a student visa, then naging invalid ung visa ko, nag offer sila ng sponsorship. mas mataas ung chances mo siguro na ma-offeran ng sponsorship try mo aged care, mas konti nag apply, or yet regional - rural areas, for sure meron yan. di mawawalan ng employment for nurses. pati sa mga agencies ang hirap makakuha ng RN !!

revsky · February 2017

@lori87 hi..better to retake again sa PTE. Once makuha mo yung required scores. Apply for AHPRA registration..

gsont0t · March 2017

@Cassey Hello kabayan, kinkabahan ako na excited na pumunta ng oz,RN ako dito pinas 3yrs exp lang as NDP wala akong exp sa clinical, ung wife ko kc ang principal my visa na rin kmi class 190. Ang iniicp ko ngayon ay kung anong unang hakbang ang gagawin ko pra makapagtrabaho as nurse in d future? Kailangan ko po ng advice/comento or any suggestion sa pathway na gagawin ko, salamat po mga kabayan,godbless

kymme · March 2017

@gsont0t once you're here, pwede ka pa assess sa ahpra for bridging program.

Cassey · March 2017

@gsont0t Hi, Mas madali na lang yan pagdating mo rito kasi very accessible naman lahat, makakatawag ka anytime sa AHPRA pag may tanong ka. Bring all your documents with you. Normal lang na kabahan ka kasi hindi mo alam kung ano daratnan mo rito but you'll be fine. Una mong gagawin is to have an English test then kung okay yung result mo for bridging, have an Assessment from Ahpra kung iaallow ka nila to do it kung hindi naman you can do conversion course. Mas madali na nga for you kasi wala kang iisiping visa unlike pag student ka na may duration lang yung stay mo rito. Kaya mo yan kabayan.

Godbless.
