Bridging Program in Australia

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)

@arakin hello, when do you plan to take the English test? I will also take the exam as soon as possible and have to go through the whole APHRA application.

Is a week or two booking of accommodation is accepted for the requirements in applying for the visa? Thank you

If I were to make an assumption, the very reason you are being granted a visa is because of the invitation by the school upon payment of fees to undergo a short course of study. It is understood that you will be staying at the very least close to that area. As such the exact place to stay does not really matter for the case officer who will be making the decision. Just my 2 cents.

Hello anyone here for ETEA April 2018 intake?

Positive PPD results are expected if coming from countries with high incidence of TB, plus given the fact that our profession puts us in an environment where exposure is normal. However, if your chest x-ray is given a clear reading, there should be no problem.

PPD Skin Test (Tuberculosis Test)

If that doesn't settle your mind or you're required to undergo prophylaxis, there is still enough time for prophylaxis treatment which usually last for 3 months. If you're from the Philippines, you can visit your nearest city or municipal health clinic/center and inquire about the Philhealth TB-DOTS Program.

Hi all,

I don't understand, how could international nurses apply for EPIQ/IRON course with ACN which is NOT registered with CRICOS? if so, how can you apply for a student visa ? thnx
