Hi guys! I've missed our thread , as I have been busy with reviewing for the NCLEX. Anyway, nope no news yet with regards to my application. When I followed up with the Council about a month ago they assured me that they haven't sent it to me yet (I was worried that it was lost because of the typhoons) and told me to just wait for my assessment. In a way I can view this as a blessing so that I can concentrate on the NCLEX first. It's probably God's way of telling me to take things one at a time . Hopefully I can receive my assessment before December so that I can still take the CAS on January.

Hang in there guys! God is good and He will surely reward us for our hard work and perseverance!

Hi drednag, sorry for not responding too soon

Armi and I applied at the NMBWA to obtain eligibility/approval for the Bridging Program before we submitted our application for enrollment at Curtin otherwise, we will not be able to reduce the duration of the program to 1 semester.

On the contrary, you can still apply at Curtin without the NMBWAs approval but you will have to study the program for 1 year

I reckon that you must have to undergo NMBWAs assessment before enrolling in any course provider of your choice in WA. Goodluck drednag, aim HIGH!

Gurl, are you allowed to send pm?

I wish to add you in Facebook account if you have one but since posting email ad is prohibited in this forum so I guess I'll have to wait till you reach your 15th post

Arms, just want to clear some things re working conditions for student visa. Were you told by IDP that once obtaining your student visa you can work any state in OZ (unlimited hours)even before the BP commences?

Just want to be certain on this

Thanks heaps mate!

Thanks a lot, blinq! That clarified the matter for me. I will be submitting my application to the NMBWA within the week, wish me luck! And good luck on your bridging course as well.
