hello guys. anyone here who knows the current standing of etea's accreditation to anmac for 2013 batches?

It is until nov.30,2012 at this moment. Don't be so worried about it. They will surely renew their accreditation status. This already happened before, ok? :)

hi @mindful1, you mentioned in previous threads re: "In-principle". can you lead me to the link where i can read the forumers who actually got exempted from BP because of NCLEX. I am very curious. Thank you. And where can you suggest I pass my application? NSW or VIC?

hello!

im planning to take the bridging course and do it by myself...( is it safer and easier compare to having an agency that is willing to lend you a certain amount of money and manage to find you a work after the course which is payable for two years, ofcourse with interest...WHAT DO YOU THINK?)

AND may i know the time frame(maximum) if for example, i pass all the requirements to APHRA, then how long will it take before i receive their confirmation and when is the right time to find school?(or is it easy to find one?usually what particular months do schools open for intake?).

sorry if i ask too much questions but i know that people here can help me...thanks for the reply...

[markmarkrn]

Is this true that Some applicants got exempted because of nclex?? I should have learned about this earlier. ?

But i have read in some threads that they got exempted because "these applicants were able to work in the US."

To beauexSame here. By the way, did you have to send physical docs to UniSA via courier or was the online application attachment enough?

Hello... Anybody from PI who got HP1N1 Influenza vaccine lately? I asked my MD and told me that HP1N1 Flu vaccine is not anymore available nowadays. Can somebody verify this?

Thanks for the help! :)

Hi marklouiemarco,

I know. Its really really weird. I had a very disappointing experience on my visa application here.

Date of issue: 12 Nov 2012

Entries: Multiple

Last Date of Arrival: 12 Jan 2013

I asked the officer why they gave me Multiple entry having 2 months validity only. I haven't receive any reply. I'll still wait for a short while for their explanation before I try to ask some clarification to other department. If only I knew that this will happen, I should have applied on the high commission in Manila. My declared travel date is Jan 3, 2013.

To sum it up, I was only been given 2 months from the date of my visa issue. And what was the most confusing and disappointing is that they have issued "MULTIPLE" that I could only use 1 week after my declared travel date.

hi everyone, im a newbie here. can i just ask what state in australia should i pass my application? which is the fastest to respond? and does anybody here know about cases that some applicants with nclex were exempted to take BP? i'll appreciate your answers. thanks.

Apply in QLD. They respond faster and they'll release your registration faster compared to other states. I got my registration after 3 days compared to my other batchmates who received theirs after a month or so. If you apply in WA, you need to achieve 80% passing mark as compared to other states which only requires 50%. It is just my 2cents.
