Bridging Program in Australia

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 took me approximately 1 month before I received my LOE..Are you still going for ETEA in Sydney? Did you complete all your serology and vaccination requirements? Do you know where to get DPT serology tests?

    Hi! Just want to ask if you went for the EPIQ program of ACN? How was it? Some gave me a feedback that they're really having hard time compared to acfe and Etea. Thanks!

    - Vaccination records need not to be notarized. It will be checked by IHNA's nurse practitioner on the very first day of class.

    - The Australian police clearance (AFP) can be applied anywhere. I applied mines when I was in the UAE prior to the bridging program. It takes time so better secure it ahead of time.

    - Working with children check (WWCC) need not to be applied as of the moment. This will depend on where you are to be clinically placed. Each state has their own WWCC and some state don't accept WWCC's of other state. I.e IHNA Perth actually offer you to apply during the first day of class. It costs A$15. This is for WA only. I found out later on that I will be clinically placed in QLD. So I had to apply for another WWCC for QLD. Good thing it was for free.
