my documents were received last March 16, 2010 and my verification a week before; however, I have not heard from them since they e-mailed me to acknowledge my sent files. I see that a handful are in favor of enrolling at ETEA. Is ETEA better than VCHN? what do you guys think?

hey, girlashh...i applied at both vchn and etea. i already have a letter of offer from vchn while i am still waiting for etea's decision on my application (i just submitted it yesterday). i think both are good bridging course providers. and both are located in heidelberg, vic. the fees at vchn is just higher (due to the acommodation package) than that of etea. so, i guess your decision on which of the two you will choose will depend on your budget. wish you best of luck on your nbv application.:yeah:

I don't have my NBV letter yet :crying2: They just received my docs 23rd of Feb and I am still waiting for the much-anticipated board certificate to come (coz im June09 passer).. And now, I fuss upon the idea that my application would be affected by the July 1st happening in Aussie..

just my suggestion. go for vchn...it would be better for you not to worry anymore with your accomodation once you have reached oz...

either of the two institutions pwede! :D

and bear in mind that vchn might give your offered position to someone else so be quick and be wise in making decisions..anyway, whatever your decision is, it's always correct ;) but for me, the opportunity is already there, waiting to be grabbed, so why wait when it is already there :redpinkhe

thanks so much! i read from the other thread that job in perth as of the moment is really hard for overseas nurses. so should i opt to ETEA instead or choose VCHN since they can help me find a job after?

Terday answered my question, though not directly. "By mutual recognition. But by the time you graduate natl registration is on effect already so it won't matter anymore where you take your course"
