hello everyone, im also a filipina nurse from cebu city. I sent my application to NBV last july and haven't received any reply if im eligible to start their bridging program. I wrote them an email twice and said that my application is under the case officer..should i start worrying now or not?its already october and 3 months from the date i sent them my application...an agency is also offering me for perth. is it ok to tie up with them even though i already sent an application in victoria? like be eligible in both board of nusing? my agent told me that the bridging program in perth is way cheaper than in victoria...i badly need help on this dilemma guys...=(

hi to ziggyldy! i cannot send u a private message so here i am posting my reply on the forum..hope you'll read this..lol

i got a reply from nbv last week! but sad to say i need to pass an additional requirement. The thing is i already sent them a certification from my employer but it seems that they are not satisfied with it and asked for a proper work statement. Im really trying to work this out this week because i was hoping that i could join the batch for february. maybe you'd ask what's going to happen on feb. From what i've heard, the schools for bridging programs for nurses usually starts on the month of february and may. Hope your friend got a reply sooner than i got mine. hope i've answered your questions..=)

Hi shinggay..i was wondering when you sent your application to NBV since i am waiting on my assessment. Did you send them a certification from your employer with the details they put on their website? like your position, status wheter full time or not and follow the details to the dot.? was wondering why they weren't satisfied with the one you sent..

[shinggay]

nbv wants a satisfactory work statement and should be very detailed. Its should have a date, on company letterhead, confirm the registered nursing capacity of the company, confirm the dates and mode of employment, provide the total number of hours and date of last shift, and should be signed by a more senior administrative manager. The signatories must also provide their full name, title, contact details and direct email address. You should also note that abbreviated titles of these signatories is a big no no.

[shinggay]

that is really a good question countmein. I sent them an employment certificate which also includes the proviisions they set on their websiite. To be totally honest, i really dont have any idea why they are not satisfied with it. im planning to call them one of these days regarding my work statement. Im still hoping that all will be well after i'll send them a more detailed one, hehe

Hi shinggay.. Im also about to lodge my application in NBV, however, I only have 9 months of volunteer experience, should i declare it in Work Experience Post Registration? What if the signatory have no email address? Because I tried asking our unit manager about her email add but sad to said she doesnt have an email add.

thanks!!
