APPLYING AS A NURSE IN AUSTRALIA

rosesandstitches · September 2018

Hi. I'm new here.

I would just like to know if there members here who had RPL certification? Would it be beneficial in applying work as a nurse?

I am thinking lang kasi if it would be worth it. Thank you

@Rose05081993 thats good then n mg bridging ka. may nagpapaloan din dito. u just need to have a job. kasi mnghihingi sila payslip

Hi ask ko lang opinion nyo if ok na ba kumuha ng COGS as early as now kasi yung papers ko naforward ko na sa agency and they advised me na saka nalang daw ako kumuha ng cogs kapag hiningi na ng AHPRA. Is it better na kumuha na ako as early as now to avoid delays na din? Thank you po

cucci · September 2018

@skinnyjoyce COGS are valid only for 3 months so it is advisable na kumuha pag processing na for AHPRA registration. Baka waiting pa ang agency mo for a more opportune time to submit your documents dahil medyo hindi pa clear kung ano ang magiging process ng BP for next year kaya hindi ka muna pinapakuha ng COGS... pwede pa rin naman kumuha ngayon at kung sakaling mag-lapse na ang validity pwede naman mag execute ng statutory declaration.

hello guys! magandang araw po. mag tatanong lang po sana ako ng mga kelangan kong hingin sa employer ko bukod sa COE. Magsasara na po kasi company namin bec of bankruptcy by the end of this month. Company nurse po ako for almost 6 years. planning to do the BP but di ko pa po maipasa ang english requirement, huhu..nag try mag IELTS, nka 7 nmn OBS pero 6 sa writing. tried PTE too, shocked ako kasi kung tutuusin mas mtaas pa IELTS scores ko in each band kesa sa PTE. nabigla po cguro ako naisp kong mas mdali sya, nawala sa isip kong exam pa nga din po pala yun,hehe. Problema ko din yung professional reference na sinasabi ng ANMAC na:

official hospital email address (ANMAC will not accept emails that are sent from free web-based email accounts)

since mag close na kami(although later part pa ito,like after BP), patulong naman po.
maraming salamat!

Hello po. Good day everyone! I hope you're in good mood while reading this.

I'm new here. And I tried to read as much as I can to at least have some background about s thread na ito. Pero na excite na ako kaya ito po't napa post na ako. Currently, I'm working as OPD nurse here in Dubai. But before that I had 2 years ER nurse exp back home (PH) and had another 4 years exp in homecare here in Dubai.

I'm here po to seek advice and insights. Mag 6 years n po ako dito s Dubai by the end of this year. Thankful nmn po ako at npadpad ako dito at least hnd po ako nging tambay sa pinas. (I have nothing against sa mga tambay, alam ko hnd lahat gnusto yan, mnsan dhl lang po tlga s sitwasyon ng profession ntn s pinas.) Lalo po't tga probinsya po ako e, napaka hirap po tlga mkpg hanap ng trbaho at mkapasok s mga hosp without "kapit" dun sa amin. I'm sure some could relate to that.

In my 5 years here in Dubai, I'm proud na napagtapos ko po yong sumunod na kapatid ko ng kolehiyo and if truth be told, without my job here (UAE) I would have not... And also being employed here, somehow I became capable of backing up our family financially—especially at desperate times. Pero sa kabila ng asa Dubai po ako hnd prin po nging madali ang klase ng aming pammuhay. Hirap parin po ako sa pagbbudget, na mkpag laan ng pansarili at kung paano ko pa po sila lalo matutulongan.

Fast forward po, lately e, prng na-ddepress na po ako dhl prang naiisip ko wala po ako growth s career ko, khit may 6 years exp na ako both homecare at hosp dito imbes tumaas sahod ko lalo pa po bumaba.

( Nagging positibo prin po ako sa kabila ng lahat ng nangyayari at nghhanap ng ibang paraan at ngpplano. Kaya po ako ngayon narito para humingi ng advice.

I really don't know where to start and what's the first step to take. To any fellow overseas nurses out there who had succesfully landed a job or migrated in Australia paano po kayo nag umpisa? Ano po una niyo inasikaso? Please share your story. A lot, for sure, would be very thankful to read it.

Pasensya po na naging ganito kahaba po itong post ko. Nadala po ako ng emosyon ko. Salamat sa pag intindi. $:\$ ">

@renzairtsua take english test first (ielts, pte or oet). aim all 7 equivalent then you can apply for bridging program

skinnyjoyce · October 2018

@renzairtsua hello! You need to take English test muna. And then the rest will follow. Dati I tried IELTS para sa apply ko sana sa UK that was 2015 pero hindi talaga ako maka 7 lahat. I took the exam twice na. And then I decided to try Au instead tapos sabi mas madali daw PTE so i took the exam and luckily I passed naman sa first take.

Nakakainspire lang po story nyo kaya napa reply ako hahaha Goodluck sa atin!!

@skinnyjoyce & @kymme Salamat po! $:\$ ">

Sige po. Magttake po ako ng English proficiency test, and I'll let you know of the result.

Your response is deeply appreciated. >:D<

Hello po may alam po ba kau na institutions offering certificate of aged care here in sydney australia o kaya po nursing homes na d nagrerequire ng cert? Thank you po

cucci · October 2018

@Rose05081993 Check out TAFE NSW.
Jobs having contact with vulnerable population (children, disabled, elderly) requires a certain level of certification to get into. This is to ensure that the person taking responsibility for that vulnerable person is deemed qualified to handle any situation that may arise. Kung meron man sigurong tumatanggap ng walang certification eh malamang di rin magandang employer yun.

Rose05081993 · October 2018

@cucci how about po online cert iii for aged care may nahanap po ako offering it for 990 aud for the entire course, would it be accepted po ng mga nursing homes?

cucci · October 2018

@Rose05081993 Accepting or not accepting credentials of applicants is an employer prerogative. Before enrolling, do make some investigating whether the course is legit or not. I do not have inside information about the aged care industry so I cannot make specific suggestions and/or information.

shemenorthing · October 2018

Hello my fellow nurses! We’re on our 2nd month here sa Adelaide. I received an email regarding the outcome of my overseas qualifications assessment, it is assessed as comparable to the educational level of Australian diploma, may I know po if I can process my initial registration sa Ahpra as enrolled nurse? Thank you in advance!

@Cassey hi po. dpat po tlaga mgbridging or student visa sa AU bago makapag-pa-assess sa APHRA?

Cassey · December 2018

@Soleng AHPRA Assessment is needed before you can enrol in a Bridging Course. You may not need prior AHPRA Assessment if you will enrol in a Conversion course though.

But If you meant AHPRA registration, you definitely need to study here in Au to register as an Australian Nurse.

dy3p · December 2018

@Soleng Pwede ka naman mag pa assess sa ahpra kahit walang bridging. Actually, that is the first step, ang mag pa assess. Pero if hindi at par nursing education mo with Au's, then idedeny nila application mo saka ka nila irerefer for Bridging.

Soleng · December 2018

@Cassey Ano po ung conversion program na sinasabe nyo po?

What do you mean po sa PAR NURSING EDUC?

Cassey · December 2018

@Soleng Shortened Bachelor’s of Nursing Course. Usually, kapag may experience ka, it’s only a year of study. Hindi mo na kailangan ng Eligibility Letter from AHPRA to enrol in that course. After finishing this course, pwede ka ng magregister as a nurse sa AHPRA.

dy3p · December 2018

@Soleng "at par" - "equivalent to" or "same as"

Soleng · December 2018

@Cassey THANK YOU SO MUCH po mam.

moogz02 · January 2019

Ask lang po, pano po ba kung wala pang CPD points since naregister last year? may repercussions ba? nasa PH kasi ako ngayon wala padin employer. Yung ibang employer kasi naghahanap ng evidence ng CPD compliance. And worry ko din is mageexpire na yung license ko, wala padin ako points. Paano po kaya yun? I don't know kung tama po yung thread, wla po kasi ako makita, ito po yung pinaka close. salamat po.
