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)

hello everyone im new here i already passed my online interview in IHNA and they already send me offer letter and other documents to pass. I need to pay AUD1500 so they can start processing my application. so I called my agency for my loan as I cannot afford the BP fees. I told them I got offered by IHNA but to my surprise they told me that they are not sending nurses to IHNA because the IRON program in IHNA is in inactive status in the AHPRA website. I checked and yes it was written inactive since january 2013 up to 2018, I got scared because this is the only chance I get for my AHPRA will expire on Oct this year. I had a chat with my friend who is already in Aus and asked him if the person he met who took the BP in IHNA had already his or her registration and he said yes, less than 2 weeks.I need help to those who are taking BP in IHNA, I emailed AHPRA about my concerns but no response yet. Hope to hear from anyone who know about this things. very mush confused...Thank you! =)[/quote']
