To upgrade into BN an overseas RN can study for 2 years full time. If one is exceptionally talented the MNS pathway can also lead to registration but this is only offered by some of the prestigious universities in Australia like University of Melbourne, University of Queensland and the University of Western Australia. The MNS is an intricate pathway for overseas RNs who doesn't have a clear picture of the Australian healthcare context.
are you sure? try to go to latrobe.edu.au search for master in nursing. i actually have contacted them a month ago. and its one year master in nursing program for overseas nurses. just jump on to their website and know it for yourself.. or better ring them...

or maybe you are right, since i have contacted them a month or a month and a half ago maybe things have changed...but for those who are interested, just go to their website or better ring them to confirm it for yourself...

how much is the cost for studying BN n nursing? pls give me any info on in matter.
thanks
hello jayBadette and Ryan,

Yes, Im a second courser too. I have only 6 months volunteer experience, so I opted the BN pathway, so no need to go back in PI after graduating as I am eligible to apply for Graduate Skilled Visa (because of 2 yrs study) then eventually PR Visa.

I spent $8,920 for 1 sem tuition. Quite expensive...

Hey jayBadette, you are working as PCA, right? Im also applying for a PCA position, but no luck yet. Can you PM me the Nursing Agency youre working for? It wll be a great help to me. Thanks in advance.

@Ryan, Ive called up the agency, and just told me that there's no vacancy for PCA's. Anyway, thanks...
Today is the Filipino Fiesta in VIC. I will be going there later.

hello all, ive been reading this thread searching for comments about ANSM- ASNC. i've read some, and this post made by ciao_88 last may 2009 has caught my attention.

"Right, ANSM is a legitimate consultancy/migration agent but it's not registered with POEA. One of the staff of POEA that I phoned explained that this firm is legitimate to do migration consultancies but not with offering jobs because they are not registered wih POEA to do so. That's the reason I and other 7 friends withdrawn from this firm because there is no job offer, as explained by POEA. But this is still an individualized decision, it varies per peson, but in the long run.... good luck to all of us"

i asked the agency about this and they replied that we are going to aus to study, and we are not leaving the Philippines on a job order or with a confirmed job so it is not with POEA.

Can anyone give me their views concerning this? i would like to know if such a reply is adequate to this concern. and if what the agency is doing is legal. hope to hear from anyone soon thank you

Hello anyad,

Just wanted to add a few info re your query since I am done with this process and fervently waiting for my visa approval..

You will qualify for the 6 months bridging program at Curtin Uni once you obtain a letter of eligibility from the NMBWA. Once you have this, you can apply at Curtin for the program but you must have a minimum of 6 months clinical experience. However, there's one member here in the forum (armiRN) who got accepted in the program without hospital experience. So I guess it is a case to case basis since I lodged my application thru IDP Cebu.

As for the tuition fee, I paid $11,690au inclusive of OSHC. Did this transaction thru credit card but you may also transact your payment via telegraphic transfer or bank draft however, the former is more convenient to use.

If you decide to pursue your Bridging course at Curtin then I would highly recommend that you seek the assistance of IDP Philippines. Service is absolutely FREE and saves you a lot of time and money as well

Ajah!
