Know everything about bridging course in sydney

[hotchicgrace]

hi! Ive applied for an assessment for RN in NSW. I can say that I know very much on the how to's in applying for bridging course in Australia since I did it on my own. I got the recommendation letter from the board and was advised to undergo a competence assessment program in the college of nursing in Burwood.

to make it short: (If u want to apply in NSW)

1. Take IELTS first, all 7 on all the components

2. Read the instructions on the website--www.nmb.nsw.gov.au

basically here are the most Important things:

a. go to PRC, request for verification of registration to be sent directly to the board

b. go to your university or college, request for transcript and nursing course description to be sent directly to the board

c. go to IDP or British Council, request for a copy of your all 7 each in all components of your report grade to be sent directly to the board

d. fill up the application form-http://www.nmb.nsw.gov.au/please-proceed-RN/default.aspx

(with the application form, you need to have it notarised, and pay $105 through credit card or money order etc)

that's basically the initial requirements to be sent to the nursing board

here is the information booklet that will guide you/checklist in filing your application:

http://www.nmb.nsw.gov.au/Info-Booklet/default.aspx

Assessment is a case to case basis but basically Overseas nurses are recommended to undergo the bridging course.

You will receive a recommendation letter from the nursing board stating the Nursing school that provides the bridging course or the school that you have to go to to get your registration training

Example of the recommendation letter:

If you get such letter,

Application process

1. Complete application form

2. Forward completed application form (and non-refundable application fee) along with the following documents:

* original letter of referral from the Nurses and Midwives Board of New South Wales

* a certified copy of your English language test result (Internationally educated nurses/midwives)

* a certified copy of your visa*(Internationally educated nurses/midwives)

* Applicants who will be applying for a short stay visa in order to undertake the program may be issued with a letter from the College that can be used to support their application for a visa when all other entry requirements have been met.

Note: Applications that are incomplete are unable to be processed.

3. Successful applicants will be notified by mail.

Applicants are advised not to finalise any personal arrangements until confirmation of a place in the program is received from The College of Nursing.

4. Confirmed applicants are required to attend the program enrolment session where all original documentation is to be presented for verification and proof of identity established. Applicants will be excluded from the program if the original documentation and eligibility cannot be verified. Outstanding fees are to be finalised at this time.

regarding your visa, you can get the student visa or visa 456 or if u have relatives, you can ask them to sponsor you (family sponsored)

regarding your schedule, the school will be the one to give you the date so u can apply the appropriate date of your travel.

If you have questions, feel free to ask

is there a huge difference between nbv and nbnsw?a friend of mine told me that he's been hearing negative comments about the former.

Yes there's a HUGE difference. Can you expound more on the negative comment your friend is saying?

[Julia heartily]

He says that there has always been problems with the applicants' documents in nbv..like some are not being received or are missing...I was a little doubtful about that though.he's the same friend who was discouraged in applying for oz.

Missing documents are caused by the courier services not by nbv misplacing them because postbox of nbv is centralized. If it's not there, the docu didn't make it there. If you file a complain with the courier (fedex, lbc, etc), they can resend your docu for free. What else is your friend's problem concerning aus? If he doesn't want aus don't force him. That's his own problem and own falacies. But I tell you, he sure was brainwashed. Hehe

You're absolutely right about that..It is his own decision..I did my part as his friend to aid him so I think the rest is up to him.I really don't know what else his sister has told him about oz but all I can say is that it is still up to him to either prove her wrong or just give up on his plans because of what he heard..I on the other hand am willing to pursue it...I got this feeling that I have to. No guts, no glory right? I ain't givin' up that easy!haha!

[Julia heartily]

Hi Julia, thanks for the encouragement, though I've prepared myself already ...

Nope, no post registration experience. That is why I seldom visit out thread; coz I've been busy nowadays . Been (unsuccessfully) trying to find work and practice our oh, very dear profession

Good luck and God bless on all our applications!

You can try applying at Capitol Medical Center, Victor Potenciano and Asian Hospital as a staff nurse. Or maybe you can do volunteer work at Quirino Memorial Medical Center or Pasay Gen? I also heard that Camp Crame is also accepting volunteers.

Cheer up! everything will fall into the right place!God bless!

@Julia_heartily, miks and others who are about to or already sent their applications

guys, have you secured all the requirements you need from your school? i just want to confirm if it's just the TOR, copy of diploma/cerificates and course description that are needed to be obtained from the uni you graduated from. and how abt the evidence of good character, where and whom should i get it from? i have read the information booklet but i just want to know what the others already did. :)

I understand it's only the TOR and Course Syllabus/Description that they require the school to send directly to them. For the Diploma it should be a Certified True Copy that you yourself will send along with your application form and other documents. As for the evidence of good character, you can use the form attached in the Information Booklet, next to the form you can see a list of people who are supposed to fill up that form (eg. registered nurse, teacher-5 years above, govt. employee with a certain number of experience, etc).. just refer to it, i think its page 19 of the booklet, you should provide 2 for that.

Goodluck to you! As for me I hope to finish everything by next week...whether or not its a good thing to lodge in my application now I've decided to just go for it and hope for the best, at least I gave it a try :)

I agree with miks103. I think that part about the evidence of good character is more like a recommendation. I've actually secured three of these before but just to be sure I'll have them fill out the forms in the booklet. My co-trainee and I are going to submit the license verification next week when it's ready. As for the forms and school documents we'll just have to finalize those and submit it either by the end of this month or early may because we still have to take the IELTS.I sure do hope we can get an all 7!

Thanks so much, miks. I, myself is uncertain about this thing but I'll give it a go as well. As of now, I want to take chances and I'll see what is in store for me. Im on the process of securing documents and stuffs... and will still need to work on my IELTS... God bless us! :)

Thanks, julia. Ill probably do the same, ask for their personal recommendations and will let them fill up the form. I just started securing the required documents. and just like you, i still need to work on my IELTS. God is good, He will hear our prayers.
