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)

    Hi!Could anyone tell me a safe budget for food items in victoria that's good for 3 months for the whole course duration? Thanks!

    4000AUD is safe.

    Thanks annie_v2g. I'm a little bit confused with AHPRA's requirements in assessing overseas trained nurses.

    Australian Police Check is required upon arrival in oz. not when you are still in the Phil. :)

    that is what i thought, but then CON emailed me that I still need to submit one even though I am here in the Phil.

    Yes I'm still in Australia. Im just so.. So happy coz i didn't have to wait that long.. I was quiet furious because they say that ETEA studs don't get their registration as fast as others do.. Got mine in 10 days! (Counting the days including holy week and weekends).

    Will exit Australia this weekend then come back after few weeks. For job hunting!

    Congratulations annie! What is your visa? Is it possible to exit Australia after BP and come back for job hunting? I heard that they are only giving 3month visa for the BP students. How true is that? Thanks!
