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)

    @Jisha C I didn’t try to call their landline. Glad to hear you’d got the application form already. From where are you btw?

    @Eds Thank You! Waiting for the offer letter. I am in Sydney. Hence, wanting to get it done asap. Hope you get to hear from them.

    Were you able to complete all the requirements? You can contact your reg officer if you have queries.

    Hi Eds,

    Just want to ask, were you able to get a response after the application from ACN? Do you know if there are other schools for BP? thanks in advance.

    Hi @Laime!

    I don’t have any updates from all the schools I had inquired up to this time especially ACN. When did you receive your ahpra referral? Any idea about the new pathway for registration?

    @Jisha C @Eds just be patient. Authorities are currently revising the program that is why waiting time takes a bit longer. Schools are waiting for the official publication Re: Revised program. Many people are waiting for slots for BP as well.

    Thank you for the info @mgjuanRN. Yeah maybe that’s one of the reason why till now schools are not accepting students for BP. Are you experiencing the same?

    I am working as an RN (Div 1) in OZ now. I took the BP mid 2017. All the best @Eds!
