Thanks. So, we are now allowed to take the bridging program once we have the referral letter? We don't have to submit anything to AHPRA after receiving the referral letter? What's the next thing that we should do? Some of my friends told me to ask IDP's assistance..thank you..

No need to submit anything to AHPRA. I don't think IDP can help you because they are not connected to any bridging schools.

I'm opting for ACN April batch.

As per the admissions officer who emailed me yesterday, La Trobe University's IRON June 2015 intake is still a go. :) Is there anyone going on the same date? :)

@Ayanami: relax dear. All we need to do is complete the BP within the specified date and re-apply using an updated AGOS-40 coupled with an updated Certificate of Good Standing, Updated IELTS/OET if it expired, the BP docs, and the new police check through fit2work. Don't forget to ask for yiur refund. :)

Majai: All schools will lead to registration providing the candidate satisfies the requirements. Take note of the placement locations, and all other salient factors which are important to you. IMO though, if its's all the same and you are not price sensitive, I'd go for Deakin or Monash.

* I have a classmate in IHNA who went for the March intake because her first choice (ACN-March) was full. For those aiming for the intake, go ask ACN for verification.

Hehe..thanks..by the way I got my offer letter from IHNA. I also want to try ACN since I have a relative near this school. How can I apply there and how long does it take before one can get an offer letter from ACN? thanks again..

Hi! How did you apply in ACN? How long did it take before you got your offer letter? thanks..

Hi ayanami. I got it after 1 week because they asked for an xray. But after i passed the xray result, they sent the offer letter immediately.

hi

i have a question:

for those people who worked outside philippines (e.g middle east)

after the bridging program we're required to submit again an updated good standing certificate.. are we still going to submit a good standing cert from that country?

philippines good standing plus the from the country we worked before.

because its really difficult to get hold of the cert if we already resigned from that country/hosp.

any idea about this?

thank you.

May I know who will be joining the Mar 30 intake with IHNA? I know of only 1 so far and she's not here with us in Allnurses.

Hello jmolina. I will be joining march 30 intake in melbourne inha. Hope to see you there

[Emcee.a]

Just wondering if you took inha's accommodation? And have you already submitted all the requirements needed by inha?

hi jois! I have worked in middle east. I am not sure if we need to resubmit all requrements/documents . My friend who did the bridging course said there is no need to resubmit documents we only have to send some proof of identification to be registered and the education provider (BP) will send certificates /dovuments about us passing the course.

regarding on securing a good standing cert. if you came from saudi arabia you can do it online. I can teach you the step if you want. Just pm me your e add.
