I'm aiming for June 2013 at Melbourne campus.I got an email yesterday that my application was forwarded already to the department responsible for issuing an offer letter.What about you?Anay1 has reply to my doubts pls.read.

when is your intake in ihna?

i have the same problem regarding on accomdation.

[moonyen2012]

Thank you so much.Are you already in Aussie?Anyway,I still have enough time to think about it.I hope I can take the June 2013 intake at Melbourne campus.I'm waiting for my letter of offer.Once confirmed,I'll exhaust all means to find an accommodation that would suit me..

Yup! The accomodation fee is inclusive of the accomodation during clinicals. But even if you didnt take the school accommodation your clinical educator will help you find a place to stay during your clinicals. Some of the hospitals where my batchmates attended their clinicals even offered for a free accommodation or minimum fare(10AUD/week). Indeed! Getting their accomodation is hassle free. But, if you wanna save heaps money I suggest you arrange your own accommodation,imagine you can get your own accommodation for 150/week compared to IHNA's 250/week. Australian people are great, they'll help and very understanding with emmigrants. This is just my 2 cents, you still have to weight the pros and cons. BTW! What place are you attending your BP and when?

It is not only wise.It is a must prior to obtaining licensure in Aussie.Bridging Program is only one of the requirements to meet the standard of registration.You will be assessed first by APHRA.And based on their assessment,if you're eligible,they will recommend to take the Bridging Course.If you successfully passed,they will register you as an RN.

Thanks for that! I'm now starting to understand the process. Do you think that it would be wise to apply with AHPRA prior to embarking on a bridging program (even if the program does not require AHPRA?)

Hi Eyem8791, I deleted some messages already...

pm sent beauex, see you in FB.

Did you accept the June 2013 intake?Is it in Melbourne or Perth campus?I am waiting for my letter of offer and aiming for that schedule at Melbourne campus.I am also concerned about their accreditation.I emailed APHRA through their web inquiry few days back but I didn't receive reply until now.Hope this matter will be clarified before we'll get in trouble of enrolling into a program when it won't be recognized by APHRA later on.

hi! IHNA also offered me june 13 intake but i'm kinda hesitant to accept the offer because of their accreditation problems. Did you already pay the enrollment fee 1500? I'm also still waiting for reply from ETEA or AAon.
