I have this HUGE problem fellow nurses...

INHA sent me an email saying that the deadline for the submission of the visa is TODAY.. but I still don't have my visa...

I don't know what to do next...I'm very nervous... The orientation is going to be on August 3, 2012 and I still have not resigned form work... :(

that is a HUGE problem...base from what I have read here and from what I gathered from friends who are now in Australia the releasing of VISA varies from person to person...my friend got his visa in just 2 weeks time and the other in about 1 and a half month...

why have you not resigned from work yet? i think the policy in rendering your resignation is give them a months notice that is the case here in my work place...i don't know about the other hospital...well at least you are doing something rather than staying at home waiting it keeps your mind off things...I REALLY HOPE you will receive your VISA soon...have you tried contacting the school and telling them about your dilemma? GOODLUCK ON YOUR BP!!!

Hi guys, I would like to know if there's anyone here who had their Eligibility Letter expired before they finish the bridging program? Please give me details on how you handle the situation. I will be taking January 2013 program but my LOE will expire on March 30, 2013. I asked AHPRA but they say they cannot provide any further extensions (even for just 1 or 2 weeks). I have read some of our members here, were able to apply extensions. How am going to do that on this case? :-(

Thank you very much.

hi pringxoxo! same here.. loe will expire on oct.2012, bp will be jan2013.. i asked for an extension from ahpra. sent them a copy of my offer. awaiting for their response now..

I just can't believe this.. just got an email from AHPRA.. and guess what guys.. I was approved for an extension of my eligibility! :)

I am so happy!

Is there anyone in the forums doing the ARNTP or planning to? Please let me know, I'd really like to get some feedback about the application process

HI LAMARISM . I tried sending my email address to you but it says you have disabled receiving private messages. . Application in UniSA for ARNTP is online. Here is the link University of South Australia > Program > Australian Registered Nurse Training Program . . . . .

hi ladydee-rn!

does ARNTP program require a student visa? is it possible to do part-time work if enrolled in such program?

just curious..im open to other options.. :yelclap:

To shiey

I don't think you need student visa for ARNTP you need the 456 VISA. If your course is less than 6 mos you need a 456 VISA. YOU CAN NOT WORK WHILE DOING THIS PROGRAM...you need to browse the thread on Australian Immigration there are lots of answers there just be patient...
