Hello everyone!I am Rn in the Philippines with 10 mos experience. I just submitted my application for eligibility to AHPRA and I am bothered by what my friend who is already in OZ under student visa told me. She said that once I gain eligibility from AHpra i should look for a school and once I find a school where i can take the bridging program for overseas nurses, I would need to apply for visa. She said that the visa I can get is only for a duration of 3 months (the same duration for the bridging program). She then told me that after I'm done with the bridging program, I would have to go back in the Philippines because my visa would be expired by then already.
Please enlighten me if this is the reality.
Heaps of thanks :)
What your friend told you is true. That is usually the case.
