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)

You need to provide evidence that you have undertaken sufficient practice

within the past 5 years for a period equivalent to a minimum of 3 months full

time.

It's still 3 months since I filed for registration in PRC Philippines and PRC will be releasing the license card this May 2012 . @.@ I hope there is remedy for this circumstance.

Q9. What happens if I am unable to meet the ROP requirements?

A. You will need to provide evidence of:

a. Successful completion of a program or assessment approved by the

Board, or

b. Successful completion of a supervised practice experience approved by

the Board.

I wonder what programs these are.

Thank you for the link bobby123

Good Day!

I went to PRC Philippines to get my certificate of good standing or registration status(Registered Nurse) which is required by AHPRA for my eligibilty. However, they won't issue the certificate unless I have my license card and they are yet to release the license card this March 2012.

In the absence of this, what must I submit to AHPRA?

Thank you!

Hi everyone! Just have some questions. I submitted my application with all the requirements last july 27,2011 and it's been four months already but the only letter i received from them via email was just the acknowledgment itself. i called them today and they said that it's still under processing and there's no timeframe.

My questions are:

1.how long does it really take for the result to come out for international applicants?

2.do they really call your employers?

3.what else should i do while waiting?

4.how difficult is the bridging program? what should be the preparation?

Thanks. hope you'll be able to help me :)

Nope, you can take it at any approved Bridging program providers.

Congrats to you. you know what, i submitted mine last july in NSW but until now, i havent received the eligibility letter. Why was yours fast? it's been four months already since i lodged my application.
