Newly grad Filipino nurse wanting to work in Australia/New Zealand

hi ciao! thanks for the info. I'm still waiting for my assessment letter. I've sent my RLE, do you think i should ask my school for the BSN curriculum even though i haven't received the assessment letter yet? umm, just to save time in case they would require me to pass that document.. what do you think
guys? ^_^

You can actually get the eligibility letter without the IELTS result since you cannot enroll in any university for the bridging program without the IELTS score. And then when you pass the bridge course, you still need to show to NBV the IELTS results.

Farah, i will be applying for the non-award student visa like aelith explained.

hi 4vida..right, better to prepare it ahead of time..i'll make asikaso of these during my off next week...thanks very much...

Hi! terranova, are you gaining experience as of this time? I hope you don't mind for how long na? Me, I'm on my 6th month hopefully by the end of this month. But I'm aiming for at least one year. Hoping..before doing my bridging program. God willing..Good luck to all us.

yep..im on my 8th month of being a nurse volunteer. im also aiming for at least 1 year before i start the BP..ur applying for qnc too?..

One can get the eligibility letter without IELTS??? I never thought it was possible... I've always thought that the eligibility will always be given when all requirements have been met.. That's good to know then.

Thanks for this info Chabeli, so I am also expecting for my Eligibility Letter until July 22, since they received my amended application last June 22.

How many months would be the validity of the Non-award Visa? I'm afraid to get a very short visa, bacause I midgt end up going home in the Philippines after the BP, and I was not able to find an Employer to sponsor me for a subclass 457...I have only 6 months of work experience here...

What do you think?
Do you have enough experience Chabeli?
Don't you think its a bit risky?

Thanks...

Hi Aelith... I'm not sure about the others but for NBV, yes. I am guessing they might have given ownership to the accredited Universities in terms of the IELTS. Like Deakin has recently announced also that the bridge program requires 7.0 IELTS in all bands (one sitting) so that there requirements for enrollment are the eligibility letter and the IELTS score. they also mentioned that the 7.0 was based on the new NBV requirement.

I'm not sure if the rules vary per state. but based on info and email i received from the NBV and Deakin, that's how i understood it
