Hi everyone! I'd like to ask if the IELTS results are still needed after the bridging program(say for example in job applications). Mine is to expire right after I finish the course. Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone! Anyone here for September intake at College of Nursing?

Thank you very much for the quick response guys.

Ive read in the 2nd part of this topic way back 2 years ago, that even if you have 5 or 10 years experience you still need to take the BP to become a registered nurse in Australia. Does this rule still apply? My husband has been working for 2 years in the ICU in thePhil, and 5 years in the CCU in Kuwait, Iam still in page 504 of part 2 of this topic so Ive got a thousand more pages before I can catch-up. Has there been any instances recently where in AHPRA would not require BP for nurses with extensive experience. Hope you can help, BP is just really expensive Thank you very much once again.

Yes. You still need to undergo the bp unless you are trained in Uk for example. There are othet countries as well but phililpines and middle east is not included
