[chocokat79, BSN]

hi there reeta. Seems like you're lost. Maybe you can try checking out this tnread

https://allnurses.com/international-nursing/newly-grad-filipino-287930-page414.html#post4121873

Try skimming a few pages back. That's the thread where all info about BPs in Australia can be found. Posters are mainly from the Philippines like me. There's a recent post there saying that Deakin's next intake will be for January of next year already. Just a tip though, before posting questions try to read as much as you can first but I suggest you start from the more recent pages coz the old ones mainly discuss applications for QLD. Good luck on your info hunting

Cheers!

thx for helping, but there is an intake in May, I 've applied and haven't hear anything from them yet.

Have you applied to NBV for assessment? You're an overseas nurse I presume? Before a school or BP provider can accept you you have to have a referral letter from the board of nursing in that particular state or territory. Chances are, if you've just applied to the NBV recently, you won't hear from them until after 3-6 months.

Almost all info regarding BP in Victoria can be found in the thread I posted above. Better yet, try giving the school a ring.

Hi, yes got my referral letter from NBV and got my IELTS. Got everything needed.

That's good then. Maybe there's a long list or queue for slots left. Try ringing them. :)

Hi chocokat79, they didnt approve my application because my police check has expired. I sent the application 3 months ago and did the police check. The police check was done last year and they need a new police check for this year. So now I 'll have to hunt for another school.

Based on that alone? Hmmm... have you tried inquiring if they can re-consider your application provided that you can give them a renewed police check/clearance?

I'm actually not familiar with schools in Victoria providing the BP but you can check out the link I gave you earlier. It's a long thread but you can just read the last 20 or 30 pages. Majority of the posters there now are Victoria bound and a lot of information regarding NBV are exchanged there. I myself applied to QNC and NSW so I can't give you more info on NBV. Anyway good luck on your school hunting. I wish you well :)

[reeta]

Yes, I just sent them a new police check, and they said they ll place me on waiting list for january intake.
