Yes, the fees are normally paid for before departing for there, as well as any of the other required expenses that will be needed.

That is excactly my point. There is no such thing as "BS Nursing for second coursers". Only, there are nurses who were able to finish nursing for 3 years because they are second coursers. There is no sense of repeating basic subjects which were already taken from the first course. For as long as nurse passess the NLE, NCLEX or bridging program, then I could say that her school has prepared her well. So please, stop saying that this nurse or that nurse is unacceptable. what you are doing wont work, blah blah blah. Being a negative person does not reflect the characteristic of a PROFESSIONAL NURSE. Are you? :nono:

I do not make the rules for other countries or even the US, but am only stating what is happening now.

Same way that those in the US that complete accelerated programs, they are accepted in this country, but do not meet the requirements for most other countries for licensure. Each country can set their own requirements and they do.

It is not a point of being a professional nurse, that has nothing to do with it, but immigration requirements do.

There are actually a number of programs in the Philippines that only offer programs for second coursers, not the entire four year BSN, which is now five years.

But there are specific programs just for those that already have degrees in other fields. And these schools do not offer the full training to others for the complete program.

But please get back to the topic that is being discussed here, and that is getting licensed in Victoria.

Thanks for your understanding on this.

Are you sure about that? Five years for nursing? Do you have the new curriculum coming from CHED to prove that? If there is, kindly show us here,.better prove it first before saying a thing as this may confuse everyone who will just be starting taking up nursing. I'm sure there's already a proposition about this but it hasn't been finalized.

They have all been just required to add in three semesters to all of the programs. The four year BSN is now five years and the two year second courser program is three years.

Much is already written about this on the Philippine Forum, and you can check with your own PRC to hear their take on it as well.

This has been discussed on the Philippine Forum for months and is not anything new.

And yes, it has been finalized.

Just take the time to do some reading on the Philippine Forum. Or better yet, check with CHED as well.

There is no such thing as a "Bachelor of Science in Nursing for Second Coursers" and "Bachelor of Science in Nursing for First Coursers". BS Nursing is all the same for 1st and 2nd coursers. It is not a different program. Im a 2nd courser who graduated years ago and took nursing for 3 years and not 2 years. I have hundreds of 2nd courser friends who took nursing ahead of me and also took it for 3 years, non-medical related first degree holders even took nursing for 3 1/2 years in our school. First and second coursers follow the same program "Bachelor of Science in Nursing" and completes the same curriculum in a University which is approved by CHED, the course syllabus is also the same. We have the same number of hours in our RLE and and were rotated in all areas. We have the same faculty and the same dean. You can check in ALL universities in the Philippines that the Bachelor of Science in Nursing is not divided into two colleges. Because if they were different, then they should be separated and have its own faculty, staff and dean.

The bottom line is, 2nd coursers just finished nusing a little shorter because basic subjects were credited. To make it simpler, If I was able to complete 6 religion (Theology) subjects on my first course, it would be too much if I'm going to take up another 6 religion subjects, unless I want to become a nun. If I have taken 4 P.E. on my first course, there is no need to take up another 4 P.E., unless I want to become an athlete.

If the Programs that you were saying were true, I think the school is doing illegal activities and the CHED doesnt know about it because if they do, then the school will have to be closed.

We never said that there was a specific degree for the second coursers, that is what you are assuming that I stated.

But there are quite a few IT schools there that have set up nursing programs and they are only open to second coursers, that is what we are speaking of. And the CHED is very aware of what is going on and that is the reason that they are in the process of closing down quite a few of these programs.

I have better things to do than to try to make up stories as to what is going on in your country. All of this is very well documented and has been for quite sometime.

But please, lets get back to the subject that is being discussed here and that is how to get registered for Victoria.

Even though you will have a work visa to work as a RN you will still have to meet what the state requires. Not sure if you have already started the process but if not would suggest you start it now by contacting the state board of nursing where ever in Australia you are going
