enlighten me please..

Moved to the International forum as nothing to do with actual nursing in Australia

Have you checked out the huge thread discussing Australia and from the Philippines?

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.
