Best Visa Option for Bridging Program

Jun 15, 2009 06:55 AM

What's the best visa option for an overseas nurse undertaking the bridging program in Western Australia? Is it the tourist visa, short stay (business) visa or student visa? I have been advised to undertake a 12-week initial registration course for overseas nurses by the board. Also, is it easy to convert the initial visa (tourist, student, short stay) to work permit so I do not have to leave Australia? Thanks so much.
