NURSES: What you need to know

zballesteros · October 2017

good evening po sa lahat dito sa forum, hihingi po sana ko ng advice sa lahat.
i'm a civil engineer planning to lodge visa 189.
my girlfriend is a registered nurse in the philippines with 2 yrs clinic nurse exp without hosp experience.
gusto ko po sana sya isama sa au as my de facto with partner visa.
tpos i'm thinking na pakuhain sya ng bridging while in australia so she could also work there.
ang question ko po is ano mas ok, kunin ko sya as defacto partner visa at isama sken sa au,
or apply sya ng sarili with visa 189 or other types of visas applicable?

di ko po kasi alam ang mga pwedeng maging circumstances. maraming salamat po sa sasagot!

@zballesteros Pwede mo siyang ideclare sa 189 Visa and put her name in the application para kapag nagrant, both of you are already Permanent Residents. Just make sure that you have a lot of evidences supporting your relationship.

@Cassey thank you for your reply, what do you mean 189 visa mam? ang problema di pa sya nkakapag bridging kaya di pa pwede 189 visa diba? or you are referring to partner visa?

zballesteros · October 2017

@Cassey sorry mam newbee po ako pagdating sa partner visa.

Cassey · October 2017

@zballesteros Di ba you’re planning to lodge 189? You can add her to your 189 application as your de facto partner. She can study nursing later on when she gets the PR Visa. It’ll save you some money, effort and time. It’s gonna be easier for her as well because she won’t need to apply for another visa.

@Cassey thank you po mam sa inyong reply! ask ko lang din po when you say study nurse, do you mean in a university or bridging? ano po ba mas ok sa 2? may 2 years exp po sya as clinic nurse and registered po sya sa pinas, at ano po mas mura? thank you!

Cassey · October 2017

@zballesteros Kung may experience siya, she can do a bridging course so that she can register here as a Nurse. Ang advantage lang ng bridging is that it’s shorter in duration but other than that pareho namang maglelead to registration.

zballesteros · October 2017

@Cassey thank you po sa reply, ask ko n din po sana ano mas mura sa 2?

Cassey · October 2017

@zballesteros Depende sa Uni, Yung bridging is around $12-13k up, yung conversion ang pinakamurang narinig ko is around that amount din but some schools like Deakin ang fee is nasa $28k.

@Cassey salamat po sa reply nyo! nagkaron po ako ng idea. godbless po sa inyo.

Cassey · October 2017

@zballesteros No worries, All the best sa inyo.

@sunshineee28

you think pag around december 2017 ko nareceive yung LOE ko, makaahabol ako sa February 2018 intake. San schoool ka pala?

sunshineee28 · October 2017

I'm not sure. When I asked them last august, january intake na yung earliest nila. And nung ngpass ako ng requirements early september, feb 26-may 11 intake na yung availbale.

ACN po. You can ask them anytime na man po about available intakes. Nagrereply naman cla agad. @KevinDavidson

@Cassey like kelangan po ba na magpabooster ng recently sa mga vaccinations required for school? or accepted nila ung mga booster shots mo nung gradeschool or college?

Cassey · October 2017

@ishtar Do you have immunization records? If not, you’ll have to do serology test. Before doing so, you’ll have to ask your Uni whether they will accept immunization/serology test from the Philippines if you want to do it in Ph.

Hello po mag ask lang po ako about sa reference letter in case hindi po nagproprovide ang company or even ang mga bosses is hesitated din? Anu po kaya ang alternative? Anybody po na ngfile recently na khit wlang ref letter? Slamat po

Cassey · October 2017

@Raeji Please check the first page of this thread for the requirements. Thanks.

Cassey · October 2017

@greenapple Hi, have you told your superiors that there is a template to follow which I suppose would make it much easier for them. What are you using it for? Is it to claim points for migration? Reference letter is actually vital for your application so try your best to get it.

greenapple · October 2017

It’s for migration thankyou @Cassey will try but just in case anu po kaya alternative? Its for anmac

Cassey · October 2017

@greenapple They’re pretty strict with reference letter because they use it to know your competencies
and at the same time use it as a basis in reference to the ANZSCO that you’re applying for.

Taken from ANMAC website: “Please note: pay slips, tax certificates and service and human resource statements are not acceptable in lieu of a professional reference.”

greenapple · October 2017

@Cassey thankyou po sa info

kymme · October 2017

@greenapple yung ginawa ko ako ang gumawa ng recerence ko based sa anmac template tas pina check ko lng sa manager kung ok s knila so ayun ok tas pirma agad. less hassle both sides

Raeji · October 2017

@Cassey
Thank you po.

Cassey · October 2017

@Raeji You’re welcome, check mo rin yung isang visa, you may be eligible for that. I’m not sure though kung gaano kabilis/katagal yung processing. All the best.

Raeji · October 2017

@Cassey yes po, nabanggit ko po kay mama. Mukhang pwede po yung visa na yun.

greenapple · October 2017

@kymme thanks sis!

Hello po magandang araw sa inyo ask ko lng po sana, im a registered nurse and is currently working here in the UAE pano po ba ang process ng educational and skills assessment? And according to the school category list under po yung school ko sa category 2. And pano po malaman if wat level ng australian education magfafall yung education qualifications ko? Thanks po sa makahelp. God bless

Cassey · October 2017

@giyaneelee Hi, If I may ask, why do you need to know which category your school falls into? To practice as a Nurse here in Au (and before you can apply for PR), you have to study and register here first. If you have a work experience for 3mos within the last 5 years, you can do a bridging course (shorter duration). Or there’s another option which is the conversion course.

If you decide to do a bridging course, you’ll have to get a Letter Of Eligibility (LOE) from AHPRA before you can enroll. Skills assessment is for migration purposes and will only be needed after you get your registration here in Au.

ishtar · October 2017

@Cassey i have po pero its way back like 5 yrs or more difference po ung mga last shots. Flu vaccine lang po ung recent kasi annually given.. do i need to get booster shots again? Or enought na po serology tests?
