APPLYING AS A NURSE IN AUSTRALIA

Milo_Doggoe · May 2021

Hi just wonder if you can shed a light on the road blocked we encountered recently, regarding COGS. papano nyo po nagawa ang process na to? cause nung nagpunta po ang pinsan ko sa PRC binigyan lang po sya ng sealed envelope with COGS inside then sinabihan po syang sya na daw magpadala via dhl sa AHPRA so I wonder if this is correct procedure? parang mali po kasi as stated sa AHPRA it has to be directly from the PRC to them so papano po nyo nagawa yung sa inyo? thank you po sa makakapagbigay ng info.

Am not sure about HR field and its PR pathway... but it would seem that your hubby would have the best chances of being the principal applicant as long as he is willing to undergo the process of being an RN here in Au.

I think the best option will depend on your financial capacity. Generally, it will be your husband who will undergo process of getting a nursing license via bridging course (if i'm correct).

Hello,

I'm wondering if anyone here is studying for OSCE for their OBA? I need a study buddy as I cannot afford any review programs.

Need nya magpa-register with AHPRA inorder to practice as a nurse. Much discussed ang process starting with page 1 although napalitan na ng OBA ang bridging program.

Hi po. Asking po sana ng any idea and advise for nurse pathway sa Cairns Australia. I'm a company nurse dito po sa PH. Graduate po ako 2010 pa. Pwed pa din po ba mag apply for conversion or need na po ba mag bachelor? May nakita po ko CQU QL - Rockhampton pero 3 years for Bachelor. Also sa IELTS po 7 band score po ba talaga pag mag aaral sa school? My sister po ako sa Cairns na pwed po ako tulungan sa pag aaral. yung CQU rockhampton po ang malapit na school na possible ko po applayan for schooling. Thank you in advance po. God Bless

Hello po!
I’m trying to reguster with AHPRA on my own. I’m a nurse here in UAE, anybody who has done the same recently?
what documents did you need to get certified? & where did you take your NCLEX?

Hello po. My wife started his application for Aphra po po. I'm just wondering if you know any recruitment agency located or hospitals that offers sponsorship in Sydney po. Thanks po.

kategines · August 2022

Hello good day. Im new here po. Im planning to apply for NCLEX AU then after daw OSCE exam in Au. Ask ko lang po meron po ba nagsponsor ng visa or pwede po applyan kht assistant lang habang waiting for result at magkalicense or may other option po ba. Para bago mag OSCE ksi sa Australia po ang exam and expensive. Im currently working here in Kuwait,more than 2 years med-surg nurse sa pinas, then operating room assistant for more than 2 years then 6 years nurse sa hair transplant clinic until now po. Thank yoy

Hi. I'm an offshore nurse currently registered with Aphra and waiting for my PR visa.

Mas maganda po bang mag engage ako ng isang nursing agency para makahanap ng employer or magtry na mag apply direct sa hospitals?

Thank you.

Hi. Do you mean nursing agencies here in Aus?

Both have their pros and cons.

Applying directly to hospitals can be better for you coz you engage with the hospital firsthand. You just have to work harder on your application lang kasi from start til finish you do it yourself.

If you go through an agency to find employment, they can give you a list of work opportunities. They can also help with the application process, like how to arrange your cover letter/resume, or prepare you for the possible questions the interviewer may ask. The downside is that the list may be limited, maybe your skillset won't be suitable to the job offers, and you may have difficulty adjusting to the new workplace, or if you do not like the city that you will be living in, then you would try and move out of your place ASAP.

For me, it wouldn't matter. As long as you start working here. But try doing it yourself first.
