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)

@Jisha C what happened to your ACN acceptance? Hopefully we will get an update soon.

@Eds Waiting for college's response. Fingers crossed. I am happy to see you so positive ?

@Jisha C no news still even from

other schools which is really unfortunate. i do not know what is going to happen. Did you contact your AHPRA officer regarding another pathway?

@Laime They might be having so many applications to look. I had checked with the RO long back if I fail to secure a seat in the one year period. She said, we have to apply for the extension but there is no sure thing that we may get the extension. It will depend on the case and the case officer. I guess, we need to be patient because nothing else can be done. Have you tried in CQ QLD. They have a distance learning program.

@J Pink I also worried sometimes but all we can do now is to wait and pray?

Hi @J Pink How is that distance learning program by the way?

thanks @J Pink I will update you if something comes up. what about distance learning in CQU? will it also lead to registration? have you enrolled in this course?

@Laime Thank you. Spoke to the customer services at ACN. They say that those who has met the complete eligibility criteria are invited first, as the course is offered on first come and first served basis. So, we dont have any other option other than waiting.

CQ offers online course for domestic students and on campus for International students. We may get the registration after completing the course but the period of the course is 6 months.

@Laime @Eds Any updates?
