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)

    Can u plz guide about immunization evidence of Hepatitis B.

    For Hepatitis B, if you haven't done it before (you need to provide evidence if yes), you need to follow the 6 months period of vaccination since NSW health requirements clearly states "Not accelerated course". In my case, I was able to get records of my immunization done when I was still a child plus I submitted a Hep B test done recently at the Hospital I'm currently working.

    If one is not having record that means he will have to wait for 6 months to be eligible for admission to ACN?? Or any other way means can he apply after tsking two doses stating that one dose is pending at 6 month???

    M confused what to do... Plz suggest and i will try to ask from college also

    Most schools who offered Bridging programs from what I understand are quite strict on their Immunization requirements. But in your case, you can try to ask ACN. They can be contacted through [email protected] or +61 2 9745 7534. Goodluck! :)
