Hi fellow nurses. Is there anyone here who's already done with the online course at IHNA's website? Please let me know as I have some questions. Help me :)

[patringrn]

To everyone who took their BP in IHNA,Did you attend their orientation program? I am scheduled for 8th October and there is an orientation on 5th October. Thus this mean that I've to reach Australia by 4th October?

yes. you are going to do a lot of things during the orientation day like opening an account, police clearance and finalizing the immunization. :) good luck!!

[patringrn]

hello there, i would like to ask if you already have a visa, whn did you submit it?? i think you should be there a week before your bp starts...

IHNA would give you a deadline for the visa.. once your visa arrives, scan it and send it to them.. as proof that you have the visa already.. you better do this asap once you have the visa, come the deadline without the visa, they will give your slot to another applicant (with the complete documents) and you will be moved to a later intake... good luck!

yes. you are going to do a lot of things during the orientation day like opening an account, police clearance and finalizing the immunization. :) good luck!!

Hi can i ask you about the online course? Do we need to finish it first before they can give us the confirmation letter or admission letter? The online course is stressful it's so long!

Ah so it's fine even if you were not able to finish the online course. That's cool then. Will just email them to ask for the conf letter. Did you just print all their letters to you or did they send you physical mails too? Btw i messaged you

To ajlynx16 Are you also going to for the same intake(8th October) at IHNA?

why is it that you sent your visa that late? when was the slot given to you? actually, im for jan intake in perth, but i already sent my visa application... i was just wondering if how long will we be able to receive our visa, are you done with your medicals already?

[ajlynx16]

No I dont have a visa yet.I applied on 15th August so hoping to have it till 3rd week of September. Ya since there is an orientation on 5th October I guess we must be there before 5th although the program starts from 8th October.

a friend of mine who is undergoing her bp now in perth, went there on a monday and her orientation is on friday that same week..
