The conversion program is for nurses currently qualified in Division Two of the Nurses' Act (ie division 2 nurses, formerly known as State Enrolled nurses, with a smaller scope of practice and requirement for closer supervision) to qualify as division one nurses (wider range of scope of practice, more autonomy, stronger and longer career path).

The conversion program is also for overseas educated registered nurses who are hospital trained and who wanted to upgrade their qualification to degree level.

so this one year conversion program is only for those who has work experience? is that it? and for how long should the work experience be? Because I still don't have any work experience. Is it different from the bridging program? What happens after 1 year? I have read somewhere in the forum that you have to study at least 2 years in australia to be qualified to apply for permanent residency...
