Hey Kathniss, do u know where the clinical placements are with ACN?

Hi bonzi21, I am not sure. I asked ACN but they couldn't tell me the general area of these placements.

Perhaps someone in the forum has an idea?

Hi Bonzi21,

MCIE offered me some different options for accommodation and I chose the one for 1500. This is for the whole time of the placement in Horsham.

thanks vicky.

i've got free accom in melbourne, so I prefer to do the placement there.

but it looks like most of the schools offering the program has the placement in regional Victoria.

the only school i've heard having placements in melbourne is Deakin.

[COLOR=#003366]@ldvc Thanks. Oh ok, I didn't realise you can apply to ACN before the LOE? Do you know where the clinical placements are?

@kathniss i was able to speak with the one incharge last month and i was told that i could send in my documents but it wont be reviewed until i send them a copy of the loe. as for the placements Im not really sure but i dont think it will be as far as the regional area. Ive had friends who did the bridging before and did placements in hospitals in the city im just not sure how it is now.

[vickynurse003]

That is very lucky that you have free accommodation in the city! Agreed from my research most clinical placements are regional, althugh some schools were unable to say where the placement would be, this made planning hard.

Deakins intake is only in June so i preferred to start sooner the wait has already been so long.

Hi! Yes that's the form i used.. Visitor visa: business stream

[KenChi18]

Hi! Anyone here who just had her/his visa (subclass600-business stream) approved? How long did it take for your visa to arrive? Thank you!

[Ba5ty]

It would depend. I processed it online Dec. 29. Had my medical examination Jan. 9 and got it this afternoon, Jan 21 They would say it would take a minimum (I think) of 6 weeks but I got mine in 3 weeks+

Thank you! I just lodged my app this morning via VFS-walk in. Some got their visa in 6 days. Anyhow, hoping things will be just in time. Thank you for your reply
