Bridging Program in Australia

[michikoy]

Hi. I am new here. I don't know exactly where to go. I am a registered nurse here in the Philippines and I am interested in studying in Australia for a bridging course that will help me become a registered nurse there. I need some help on looking for a good school that offers a bridging course.

My aunt told me that a friend of her friend just went to AU to take up a test and in 6 months she's there for a bridging program. and I have this friend who has a friend who became a registered nurse in AU in 6 months time too. This agency is offering me to study for a certificate III aged care with occupational English test for 46 weeks in Einstein College but it costs too much. So now, I am trying to look for a school wherein I can apply by myself and hopefully get in. I am hoping I could leave for AU this June 2011. I am a bit lost on what to do. Can you help me, please? Any suggestions? ? Please help me. Thank you very much.

(Sydney area would be better since my parents are more familiar and in favor of that place... though other cities/areas will be great too)

Everything starts with ahpra :)

You need to have the ahpra eligibility letter before you can enroll in a bridging program

hi future classmate! i'd be sharing with you what i am currently accomplishing for immunization: Hep B (done), i've had this in school during our nursing days, MMR (2 doses) not yet done, Tetorifice Diptheria (Adult Formulation), done with it, ppd,not yet done, varicella (chicken pox)-this if you have a recollection during childhood, you can just ask your GP for a certification. Some of the immunizations are "must" but if you can its ok like the hep A, meninggo but i will no longer have the last two. I got my dTpa certification in our RHU...hope this helps

hello guys ive been reading threads from this forum for quite some time now and I hope that someone with very kind heart will enlighten me in filling up the new AGOS 40.

here's my queries:

1. In section C: proof of identity, what documents can be provided in Categories A, B and C (relative to Philippine setting)? I've checked their list as shown in the form and I can only provide my oversees passport and board registration certificate as pertinent documents. Can I provide them with the basic documents say NBI, SSS, GSIS or other government document to satisfy this?

2. Is the residential address synonymous to my permanent address (my provincial address in the Phil.) or my work address?

3. In section E, in satisfying the criteria 3 (i think it is a new mandate from the Board), it states there: The relevant nursing regulatory authority or agency should provide evidence directly to AHPRA that the program of study which led to registration was accredited by the nurse regulatory authority or agency in the country/state/jurisdiction where the program was delivered at the time you studied. What does it refer to? PRC or the BON?

4. In section E, criteria 4 (under AQF level 7- bachelor's degree), what specific document/s need to be provided in the Board? Do diploma/ TOR suffice?
