Yes, you can pretty much gain whatever you've paid for the program.
You can get any job as long as you're qualified. You can try and work in a hospital or in a home care facility as an AIN. You can also apply for other jobs like odd jobs or admin jobs etc.

Oh yes yes lol. I meant Assessment level 2 for higher and 3 for VEt lol :P Thanks for the correction... I'm still sleepy at that time.

Actually, I know of one person who applied for a VET course and had the visa after a few weeks - really lucky because his pva was issued after 5 days

Show money good for 2 years only for assessment level 3. What is needed is the full tuition fee and living expenses for 2 years plus airfare.

Thanks...
Yes it does. It is a pre-registration MN degree. Only 2 Universities in Australia offer this: University of Sydney and University of Melbourne. The Course is called Master of Nursing ((graduate entry) in USyd and Master of Nursing Science ( I think) in University of Melbourne.

Hi! I just wanna share my good news that is I have already received my assessment result from QNC and I just need to forward my IELTS score although I have done that after I submitted my documents to them. I have emailed them about this and still waiting for their reply. I was so worried with my documents -- the lawyer's notarization were stamped at the back of all my papers, I have zero experience and to think I graduated 2007. Thank God everything went well.. By the way, I snail mailed my documents sometime first week of March, got their receipt first week of April, and submitted my PRC good standing cert on April 23 and I received their letter today. =) Thank you for all the people who helped and continues to share their knowledge.

Hi to all...esp those who are patiently waiting for their luck to come...
congrats Ziggy!!!

I just want a confirmation in this idea (my neighbor told me) that if we want a
higher score in IELTS esp writing part, choose to take it in Baguio City. Well, they are 3 who tried it and they all got 7.5 in writing...he said its because of the Korean Examiners there who are so generous in rating..

How true? Is it worth the travel to Baguio?
Haha, I sound so desperate...
