hi rv_phen,

I have relatives in OZ and they paid directly thru bank transfer. Upon receiving your offer from UniSA, there will be options on how you are to pay the tuition fee...

With regards to the vaccinations, I haven't started yet, still waiting for their instructions. :)

hi everyone!

Can someone assist with me this? I have received a response from APHRA and here it is:

We require an original, or correctly certified copy, of a Statement of Service from your employer Three Mary’s. It should specify if you have worked full-time, part-time or casual (and the number of contracted hours per week). It should also have the information already furnished in their letter enclosed with your application.

It is indicated in my certificate that I have worked full time. Do I really have to state the number of hours? I have consulted this with my employer and they told me that since it's Full time, it is understood that I worked for 8 hours for 5 days in one year.

What do you think? Help Please!! Thanks in advanced:)

Hello,

They just want to confirm it with the employer that's why you need to give specific details to them, whatever they ask you have to provide it.

Anyway, that is not a problem just include in the letter all the necessary details they need and even if you declare working full time you still need to put how many hours, since some hospital are in a 12-hr shift per day with a total of 48hrs/week, like mine;)

Hope this helps;)

hey guys! I'm a fresh graduate in the Philippines and I will not take the upcoming June 2013 PNLE. Can apply for the bridging program in AHPRA? Second question is I will be taking the NCLEX. If I passed it can that be enough for me to be eligible or should I be a Registered Nurse in the country where I studied?

If you want to take the bridging program here in Australia, you need to have atleast 1 year of experience as an RN from the country where you come from. It is one of the things that AHPRA requires.
