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)

It was only the interview result that was e-mailed to me and according to them they will send me the letter offer soon. I am still waiting for it, but I might consider accepting the offer of ETEA.

so u mean to say u applied not only to 1 school? i thought u applied to IHNA? im confused sorry..

I applied to two schools (IHNA and ETEA) and both schools interviewed within the same day... but the ETEA send the letter offer after 2 hours of my interview , while the IHNA just send my interview result... that is why I am considering to accept ETEA because I'm rest assured I have a slot for March intake.

Hi how're you?I was also offered a place for December IRON at AAON. However I've already made holiday plans and all. Was expecting Feb 2013 placement.. I rang AAON and was told that they're still waiting for approval if AAON will still be offering IRON next year.. Now that's a problem! :(What will you do?

Hello All,I am a neophite in here. Can anybody tell me if do we need a valid IELTS result up to the completion of the BP? I received my LOE last july 19 but until now i dont have a school yet. My IELTS will expire on May 28, 2013. I am desperate to enrol before the IELTS expire but I think there is only a tiny hope that I can get through this. Hope to receive ideas from you guys. Thanks in advance :-)

just to be sure. you should have a valid ielts until you finish your BP.

Yes. I have read from other threads that ielts should be valid until you complete your bp. You may ask" thai midwife in aus " about it.

hi dougers,

I haven't really made up my mind yet on whether to go for the Dec intake. I have to talk it over with the family. Did you apply to schools apart from aaon?
