Hi everyone,

I just received my refusal letter and referral letter to bridging program from the National Processing Team email add 12 days from the Board consideration.

Good luck to all of us. See you in Australia. Haha.

Congratulations my friend! I am very happy for you. Give us an update when you plan to do the BP.

Here's a response I received from Deakin University when I asked about their bridging program:

----

Our next intake for the Return to Practice and Initial Registration (Overseas Nurses) Course will be conducted from 26 June 2015 until 4 September, 2015 at our Burwood Melbourne Campus.

You can submit an application along with the following supporting documents to us by post.

*

-******** Certified copies of approval letter from AHPRA

-******** Certified copies of IELTS results with minimum band 7.0 no band less than 7.0 (Academic module) OR OET test with all 'B' in one sitting. NOTE: IETLS and OET results only valid for two years, and it must valid until the commencement date at Deakin.

Congratulations!

This is the silver lining everyone has been waiting for. The cue is moving indeed. God bless your registration! Best of luck on your BP.

I applied last May 2014.

I fully read my refusal letter and guess what, I also did not meet criteria 6 and 8 aside from 2 and 3.

Criterion 6: The curriculum of your program of study focused on the various aspects of nursing practice.

Criterion 8: Pharmacology

My Pharma subject is fully explained on my course description and I made sure that my school also provided for a certification of comprehensive explanation for the subject. Of course, our nursing curriculum is not focused on nursing since we have gen. education subjects.

So there, almost. 4/8. HAHA!

What is more interesting to take note is that the registration manager of Western Australia signed the letters. I applied in Queensland.

I wish to apply at Deakins too but its too costly and I am eager to start my BP by the first quarter of 2015 except January. I cannot resign from my job by December or January. For personal preference I wish to do my BP in a university, La Trobe or Monash. But LTU has a very early January intake and Monash is also very expensive and no known start date yet. ACN is my next choice, least expensive (although still expensive) and has an intake on March 2.

I still need to complete my vaccinations and NBI, endure school scouting and application plus visa application also.

Long process still. But thankful for a horrible wait that is now over.

Official02.

Youre one lucky mate.. To begin you have 4 out of 8. And jst submitted early this year!

Did u however applied by yourself or with an agency?

[JasnaDes]

When is your ielts expiring by the way?

So its probably true that we cant really rely on them saying they prioritise applications according to the date of receipt, ey?

[maine1987]

There's also IHNA in Victoria although I would classify the institution as TAFE but heck, what we need is a registration eh? Hahaha They run the program for 10900 I think and they have an intake on March 30. I'm most likely to join this one but hey, keep you options open. Which one works best for you is what you should go for.

Congrats @official02! May 2014, is that the time you actually paid for your assessment or is the time you completed your requirements?

@jmolina1985 can you share your list of everyone with their application date and approval/refusal date or maybe if you can start a thread for it?

[official02]

Receipt of completed requirements: May 26, 2014.
