i'm a filipino nurse searching thread about wa nurses here and i found out that the one and only post available was also mine.. hahaha.. so i thought of starting another one... most of threads are for the whole australia.. this is specifically for wa
this thread is intended for those who are seeking registration to nmbwa. wanurses are most welcome in this thread.. we want to hear from you and those who are currently undertaking bp...
I'm sorry but I got a little confused on which I should opt for-a bridging program or a conversion program?
you see, I have a year and 4 months volunteer nursing experience.would that suffice if I decided to take a bridging program? also, how much would that cost and what institutions are offering this program?I'm aiming for sydney btw, but of course I'd like to know the options available for me.

Curtin is requiring the letter of eligibilty. They told me so. But letter of eligibility from other states will do. Oh no now I'm on a very tight sked. Need to get that letter before May ends. This is stressing me out.
:up::up:Thanks. maybe it's a case-to-case basis.I'll confirm this; and if it is the case I'll go for the Bridging program in Victoria or maybe wait until National Registration commences on July and see if whether there will be new nursing pathway's or if other BP providers will open its program again such as Ramsay Health or maybe HPH will open more slot come early 2011.
Melbourne: etea, vchn, ballarat, la trobe, castlemaine health, deakin, many more
Perth: curtin, murdoch, edith cowan, rph, hollywood hosp

and yeah i do hope we'll both make it.. hehe
me too!i hope we can make it!:w00t:
omg!i asked a question from a friend in another thread and they just closed it..re-reading it..yeah i agree that it is sensitive and i sincerely apologize for having the audacity to ask.anyway, reflecting on it, we wouldn't be able to do so because the processing time for the bridging course would take long...
Ohh.. i reckon the staffs closed the thread not because of you enquiring for something... they did that to clean the threads, they're against personal attacks here, you see. Ive been lurking on that topic too. :)

yes,that's the prerequisite written in their website,i also had doubts like you before .those with nmbwa eligibility before were entitled six months of study instead of the whole year program. sadly, they don't offer it anymore even if you have the eligibility like yayey and others. sunchaser1019, who is currently studying at curtin with his/her cousin mentioned on the other thread that some of her classmates don't have eligibility from nmbwa but were able to go with the program; also ,i know a female indian from other forum who was able to enroll without eligibility letter. probably they changed their rules already but failed to update their website. hehehe
:) goodluck
confirmed..i just received an email from the marketing relations officer and this was her response.:up:
as we no longer offer the 6 months bridging program, you do not need the letter from nmbwa before you can start this course.
all you have to do is to send in your certified documents by post and pay your fees. once that is done, we will send you a confirmation of enrolment for you to apply for your visa and you can come in july 2010 to start your course.
