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)

been to Australia under 600 subclass visa for 3 months. consulted friends and advised to take ETEA rather than ACN. They said do not pressure yourself unless you opt for challenges, and, when the program will end you are all the same.
you can have the student visa or the tourist visa, your choice.
student visa has longer months and need to apply for an insurance plus a chance to work( i doubt if you can if the sched is 9-5 daily during weekdays). i forgot the specific subclass for student visa.
Tourist Visa has 3 months stay and no need to pay for insurance. however, applicant under this VISA cannot work unless you go cash on hand.(I doubt if you can also with same reason above)
Hello there! My niece is currently doing the conversion program here in Australia, she graduated in the Philippines (BSN) with no clinical /work experience so she ended up doing a 2 year program. She went through Fortrust i believe their office is in Makati. I myself is an RN with more than 10 years of experience in USA, AHPRA refused my application for registration instead offered me to do a 3 month bridging program. You can only apply for bridging program with AhPRa's referral letter and should only be NMBA approved program of study. You can check their AHPRA's website. For Bridging program In Sydney there's ETEA (IRON) AUS $13000 and ACN(EPIQ) $11500.
