Bridging Program in Australia

World Registration

Published

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. :clown:

(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)

I want to ask what type of visa that was given to you? are you allowed to work?

I did the online interview with IHNA. It states that I passed it. I dont know if I need to go through skype interview.

please help:(

IHNA requires the visitor's visa subclass 600, multiple entry, maximum stay of 3 months per entry.. legally, a person who holds a visitor's visa is not allowed to work.

Im on my clinical placement now. I did not push through with IHNA because I got an earlier offer from Univ of Ballarat.

I have 1 yr medsurg and 2 yrs of haemodialysis experience from the Philippines. I have finished the bridging program in Oct 2012, offered a job as a dialysis nurse late March 2013.

Hi Teyang,

Thanks for sharing. If I may ask, where did you take your BP, how long did you get your registration. Which AHPRA did you apply to, queensland? melbourne? NSW? and How is the job market for hemodialysis?

Hopingfor your reply.

Thank you!
