Is it risky to read a nursing visa in Australia?

With the announcement of the good news in July 1, 2065438 that the requirements for registered English for Australian nurses have been lowered, many domestic nurses have regained their dream of going abroad. I found that many domestic nurses are limited by their English level, unable to read and fully understand English materials related to studying in Australia, immigration and nurse registration, and also subject to the false propaganda of some domestic intermediaries, and have many misunderstandings about nurses going abroad. This paper summarizes and clarifies two common misconceptions about1of China nurses studying, working and settling in Australia. At the same time, all nurses are welcome to ask questions at any time, and they are very happy to answer all kinds of questions about nurses going abroad. Not much to say, let's share the dry goods of Australian nurses going abroad!

Question 1: Is it true that some intermediaries promote the project that nurses can work without studying in Australia? What programs can nurses work in Australia and immigrate to settle down?

Those programs that advertise that you can be an Australian registered nurse without studying in Australia are all false propaganda. They will send nurses from China to Australian nursing homes to earn high salaries under the banner of deception. In fact, they just send nurses to Australia to attend vocational education courses (TAFE), and then work part-time as nursing homes, that is, apply for student study visas, not work visas for domestic nurses. Due to the restrictions of Australian immigration regulations, it is extremely risky for junior college and undergraduate nurses in China to apply for such visas. Once the Immigration Bureau finds out that they cheated, they will not be able to get an Australian visa for ten years. In addition, care workers are low-tech jobs and never belong to Australian immigrant occupations. Here is a brief introduction to the main types of Australian nurses: Australian nurses are divided into AIN (Nursing Assistant), EN (Registered Nurse) and RN (Registered Nurse).

AIN is what we call a care worker, including simple work such as caring for the elderly and caring for children. Take the elderly care as an example. The elderly care is mainly responsible for the mental health, daily life care, medication, health care, diseases and nursing of the elderly. The medical staff engaged in this work received primary certificate training and university-level course training in the Vocational Education Department and TAFE College.

Registered Nurses Registered nurses are guided and managed by registered nurses and are responsible for registered nurses and patients they care for themselves. These nurses received primary certificate training and junior college-level course training in the Ministry of Vocational Education and TAFE College.

A registered nurse is a person with the qualification of registered nurse, who is responsible for guiding the daily work of registered nurses and evaluating their qualifications. They also have the responsibility to provide safe and reliable care. Registered nurses must have a college degree and a bachelor's degree.

Generally speaking, you can get AIN qualification with three or four degree certificates, EN qualification with a one-and-a-half-year nursing diploma course, and RN qualification with a bachelor's or master's degree course in nursing. At present, only eight schools in Australia have a master's degree in nursing recognized by the Nursing Council. Please note that only registered nurses are eligible for immigration (immigration occupation code: 2544 12-254425). Some domestic intermediaries claim that they can study aged care for half a year and then transfer to work visas or even employers sponsor immigrants, which is totally false propaganda.

Question 2: I know that if I want to be a registered nurse in Australia, I must meet the English requirements (I got four 7s in IELTS and four Bs in OET). 20 15 What are the specific changes in the new registered English requirements? What conditions can exempt this requirement? When Australian nurses register, the language requirements of IELTS four sevens or OET four B are very high. What if they think they can't pass the exam at all? Is there any hope for Australian nurses to go abroad?

The latest good news: 2065438+July 2005 1, the English requirements for Australian nurses' registration have changed recently, and the IELTS or OET scores can be pieced together twice, which can be said to be very good news for nurses who want to study, work and settle in Australia, greatly reducing the pressure on domestic nurses to take IELTS or OET exams!

From July 2005 1 2065438, when applying for registration, Australian nurses need to complete any of the following four examinations:

IELTS: pass 7 at a time, with a minimum of 7 points for each item; Or two exams in half a year, with a minimum score of 7, and the total score of the two exams is not less than 7, and the items cannot be less than 6.5.

OET: pass the lowest score of all B at one time; Or two exams in half a year, patched together the lowest score of B, and the lowest item in the two exams should not be lower than C.

PTE academic: one-time over 65, with a minimum score of 65; Or two exams in half a year, with a minimum score of 65, and the minimum score of the two exams is not less than 58.

TOEFL IBT: Pass the total score of 94, listening 24, reading 24, writing 27 and speaking 23 at one time. Or two exams in half a year, and the above scores are patched together, but in the two exams, listening should not be less than 20, reading should not be less than 19, writing should not be less than 24, and speaking should not be less than 20.

The above results must be submitted within the validity period (the general English test is valid for two years, and the validity period is marked on the transcript). If you submit a patchwork version of two transcripts, the time will be counted from the first transcript. If it is overdue, you need to submit proof that the applicant has been studying or working in English after the English score expires, and the score can be regarded as continuing to be valid.

Two exams in half a year means that the time of two exams cannot exceed half a year. For example, if the first exam is held on March 1 day, then the time for the second exam should be no later than August 30th.

The conditions for Australian nurses to be exempted from the requirement of registered English are as follows: if the applicant has received English courses for more than five years in a specific country, which must include at least two years of nursing education, the specific countries are as follows: Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Ireland, South Africa, Britain and the United States.

If a nurse friend has the idea that she can't think four sevens, can't get four B's in OET (two scores can be pieced together) and has little hope of going abroad to work and settle down, please give up the idea of going abroad as soon as possible. Nothing for nothing. As we all know, Australian nurses have high income (it is easy to get an annual income of 60,000 Australian dollars according to the length of service and scheduling) and good welfare (except weekends, they can enjoy 77 days of paid vacation a year). Compared with your peers, compared with domestic nurses, it is a natural requirement to think 7 points. In addition, from a professional point of view, Australian registered nurses can't fully adapt to the job requirements without IELTS 4-7 English level. Professional medical terminology, patients' different accents and doctors' quick explanations all require nurses to have good language skills. Instead of complaining repeatedly, instead of expecting Australian nurses to lower their registration requirements, it is better to learn from those nurses who have broken through English difficulties and settled in Australia, pick up IELTS books and prepare early!

Tip: OET has a professional English exam for nurses. After the scope of the exam is limited, it will be relatively easy to prepare. If you have a good listening foundation, it is recommended that nurses take the OET after graduation from Australia.

Question 3: If you have successfully completed the nursing course in Australia (undergraduate or master), how can you become a registered nurse in Australia? Do you need an exam?

For nursing graduates, registering as an Australian nurse is mainly divided into five steps:

1. Students can apply for registration 4-6 weeks before completing the courses required by the Australian Registration Association.

2. The applicant fills in the online application (if qualified) or downloads the application form. All applicants must mail some documents to the Australian Medical Practitioners Registration Association.

3. The school will inform AHPRA applicants when they are eligible to graduate.

4.AHPRA completes the evaluation, confirms the registration, announces the names of new graduates on the list of registered employees, and then issues the registration qualification certificate.

From the moment the names of new graduates are published on the list of registered practitioners, they are eligible to register for professional work.

Question 4: It is said that it is difficult for Australian nurses to find jobs at present. What if they are worried that they can't find a job after going to Australia? What is the future employment situation of Australian nurses? Is there a more authoritative statement?

There is a shortage of nurses in both public and private hospitals in Australia, which leads to an increase in medical costs in Australian hospitals. Only by constantly raising the salary of nurses can the existing nurses not leave their posts, and even so, it cannot alleviate the current shortage of nurses. In recent years, the role of Australian nurses has gradually changed, and the number of independent nurses has gradually increased. Most of them are engaged in nursing consultation, nursing education and consulting work of government agencies. Some nurses also work in the Ministry of National Defense, nurses' intermediary centers, nurses' legislative units, international rescue units and royal flying medical services, which is also an important reason for the shortage of clinical nurses. Nurses have always been a popular occupation for Australian immigrants (20 15-20 16 registered nurse immigrant quota 13872, accounting quota 2525, civil engineer 2970, kindergarten teacher 1980, software application programmer 5364), so the Australian government wants to attract more overseas. As long as you get a nurse's license, you are not afraid of not finding a job in Australia. Australian Government official website described the current situation and future trend of nurses' employment as follows.

1. In the five years to 20 18 1 1 month, the number of vacancies for registered nurses is expected to be high (more than 50,000).

By 20 18, the number of registered nurses in Australia is expected to continue to grow (it will exceed 50 thousand).

2. The employment growth of this profession has been very strong in the past five years, and the long-term (ten years) growth is strong. Looking forward to the future, the employment of registered nurses is expected to grow strongly by 20 181month.

In the past five years or even 10 years, the number of registered nurses in Australia has been growing strongly, which shows that the number of registered nurses in Australia will continue to grow strongly in the future.

3. This is a very large occupation (240,700 people in 20 13 years1month), which shows that there are opportunities in most areas.

There are many employment opportunities for registered nurses in most parts of Australia (2065438+240700 jobs in 2003).

4. There are 52. 1% full-time nurses among registered nurses. The average weekly working hours of full-time registered nurses are 35. 1 (in contrast, the average weekly working hours of all occupations are 4 1. 1), and their income is above average. The unemployment rate of registered nurses is below average.

Full-time nurses account for 52. 1% of registered nurses (others are part-time registered nurses); The average working time of full-time registered nurses is 35. 1 hour (the average working time of all full-time occupations is 4 1. 1 hour); The weekly salary of registered nurses is also higher than the average weekly salary in Australia; Its unemployment rate is lower than the average unemployment rate in Australia.

5. Registered nurses are mainly employed in health care and social assistance, public management and safety, and administrative and support services.

Registered nurses in Australia generally work in social care institutions, public or private hospitals in various regions, national public health institutions and medical and health service centers.
