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.
(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)
Hi, funnybanana1989. I want to ask about the application process in ACN? Do they have a non-refundable application fee? Or are there fees even before you get accepted? Thank you in advance! :)

Why do aged care certificates when you have RN qualifications? Yes, you can do bridging program after doing TAFE if DIAC give you student visa for this, but you will still need the okay from AHPRA unless you do a conversion course from a university.
You will not qualify for the 2 year graduate visa doing the cert in aged care first.

I didn't make it in IELTS exam. My plan is that if I'm in Australia studying for a year with Certificate III then, there would be a possibility that my english will improve since majority of them speak english and I would learn a lot about Australian culture. Thank you for the reply.
This is a mistake if you think your English will improve. Many have fallen before you including those who attend 2 year university courses in the hope of improving English. You need to attend English courses.
.Most of the other students in cert 3 aged care courses especially in the cities, have been organised by agencies overseas with the same speil...do an aged care course, get into Australia first, your english will improve..blah..blah...all lies, then do bridging course yet and all of your class mates, will not be English first language speakers and most of the time the tutors are just ring in for a few hours that just let poor English slide as it is easier to get through the curriculum.
Meanwhile you have spent thousands of dollars living and for the course, for one year, one you could have done an english course in 3-4 months, past ielts or OET applied to AHPRA have the Loe and conpleted a bridiging course in the time and for the same money that you have spent on aged care course and living expenses.
You will gravitate to fellow countrymen for support and homesickness and therefore will not be speaking Australian English it's only natural..Do a proper English course first at a recognised facility.
There is also indications the AHPRA are going to lower the standard of english at the moment to getting 7 in IELTS in several sittings.....
Hi to all! kristine25 and Jackelyne RN. I am also for IHNA Melbourne 14 Feb intake to 21 Apr 2014. Currently, I am waiting for the result of evaluation of my requirements for my clinical placement; hopefully I will declared as full compliance. I passed my requirementd on the night of 2 Jan 2014. How long does it usually take for IHNA-Melbourne to evaluate completeness for clinical placement requirements? and any tips as to where I can safely browse travel guide for entering Australia or laws regarding what is safe to bring into Australia? I browse diac.gov.au, I'm confused as to what keyword I will use for searching.
