Hello jb, i am also applying for bp in ACN, i am still awaiting to be notified as emailed "Your application is complete you will be notified when you are placed into a program", yet, 2 days ago, the administrative assistant asked for an AFP Police check, have you already secure that kind of police check? have you already been placed into a program? or still awaiting for vacant slot? thank you.

Hi!

They didn't ask AFP check during the time I lodged my application with ACN last Sept 2012. I think they are sending out the link for application of the AFP check thru email because my friend was asked to submit one.

I am for their May intake. They just informed me Feb 2013. It took me 5 mos to secure a slot with ACN.

Hi. To those who finished their BP and got their registration from AHPRA VIC, how many weeks or months does it usually take before one gets their registration from the time of finishing their BP? Thanks!

Hi jb_101

I lodged for a student visa yesterday. are you for Deakin University May intake as well? How's your vaccination requirement going? I'm having a hard time with the vaccinations since i lost my baby book with all my immunizations in there. And I'm in manila and I don't know where to have all these vaccinations at the same time get some discounts

Hi everyone,

I just want to ask if there is anyone here who is for May 13 intake of Mercy Health Training Institute? Or anyone here who had his/her IRON course at MHTI? I would really appreciate if you can share to me your experience about the course.

Thanks.. Bridging is fine, kinda stressful coz there are lots to do. No sponsorships yet. I need to find a job first before I gain sponsorship from the employer. And that's not an easy thing to do. Most employers are requiring 3 years hospital experience.. And agencies are looking for nurses who have experience in uk, nz, ireland, australia, singapore.

Hi Annie,

Congrats on finishing your bridging course. May I ask what hospitals did you apply to that requires 3 years hospital experience?

Hi gabby24,

How much did you pay for the student visa application? Did you have DIAC representatives pick it up or did you deliver it yourself? (Please click my username so you can see my email and send me a message through that. Still can't send PMs. Thank you.)

You may try Jacob's Ladder for your immunisations. It's located along UN Avenue.

Hi annie_v2g,

I had an experience in New zealand but as a nurse assistant only.. do you think they'll count that in? :)
