@tanbirsingh : Hi! Is that guy from IHNA Philippine branch in Ortigas?

[jmolinaRN]

In addition to that, my IELTS score result is only valid till December 2017

Awww that's tough mate. I had similar issues with my IELTS and the delays I encountered back in 2015. At end of it, I was asked to undergo another proficiency exam. I took the OET in favor of IELTS the second time around. In short, I used IELTS for the assessment back on 2013 but was required to take another exam in 2015.

I don't mean to sound glum or unsupportive but preparing an updated score will be advantageous for you. Regardless of what happens at least you've got peace of mind that you won't be delayed because of English proficiency requirements.

Cheers!

Good day mate, sorry for the late response, I had to ask someone who recently completed their BP since the process has changed from my time. Anyway, upon completion of your bridging course (with the certificate from your school released), you'll be completing a form called AGBP-40. The AGBP-40 would list all the documents you will need to support your complete application. See "Document Checklist" on http://www.nursingmidwiferyboard.gov.au/documents/default.aspx?record=WD15%2f17533&dbid=AP&chksum=piH7j3k7nrfFJ5e7SWyLAQ%3d%3d

Good luck!

Thank you! This helped alot

hi guys hope somebody who finished his BP at ETEA would be able to help me. i have + ppd but normal chest result. my doctor said that it expected to have + as we are healthcare providers and very much exposed to tb patients. now my question is, would I be having any problems with ETEA if i show + ppd?

dont worry about the PPD. Chest Xray is fine but it MUST be done in Australia.
