Can anyone do a breakdown of the living expenses in NSW? I'm trying to decide which state to apply to and nursemavi's breakdown is such a big help. Anyone in Sydney who can do the same? THanks!
hello. does anyone know if i can apply to a state then wait til im ready to do the bridging program? is there a time limit to the application for the state? Let's say i applied to WA then i ended up getting experience for 7 months. I'll finish it to one year so I can apply to HPH. Is that possible? or since the state NMB saw that i don't have experience, they'll only recommend me to Curtin. Can i apply first then gain the experience? Thank you all!

I think western australia does not require you to have experience to qualify you for the bridging. Only HPH requires that to make sure that you are already well equipped and to survive the course. The department of health would require you 2 years of hospital experience. Curtin will accept fresh graduates without experience but you have to shell out Au$10,000 for the course and duration is 1 term which starts January, I think. The tuition fluctuates because of inflation and other circumstances. You must also take into consideration that you will have to rent and eat during this term so might as well scout for the least lucrative space. But with Curtin, you are allowed to work because you will be coming to Australia as a student.
hi aelith i am so happy about your replies and i learned a lot about it.. my question is what is your course regarding nursing?? I already asked the Australian CAtholic University and they said i need about 1 year to be called Bachelor of Nursing is it a good choice for me to be registered in the sydney??

ah yes. but i was hoping to do the experience for a year and apply to HPH so i don't need to pay so much. Is it possible to apply to the state first and wait to apply to the school for the program? Also, since Curtin only accepts entries in January, I feel like I would be wasting another year waiting for that to come around so I thought might as well train now then ill have a year's experience and I can apply to HPH. Is that possible? Thank you.
Wow this thread has gone a long way now. so many new faces :) anyway, is there someone here who plans of applying/currently doing his BP in NMBWA? Just need to ask something, thanks!

Hello mishi :)
I am still undecided with what I'm going to do. But as for the course, my option is University of Sydney's Master of Nursing (grad entry) program. It will take 2 years to finish that course. There are 2 types of degrees BSN grads in the Philippines can take in Australia - a 1 to 2 years BN program or a 2 years MN (grad entry) program. The difference between the 1 and 2 years program is the end scenario. Both will make you eligible for registration as RN (if there are no problems with the credits given by the Uni to you).
However, the 2 years program can apply for a 457 visa (temporary long stay visa), a skilled graduate visa (18 months visa for those who studied for at least 2 years in Australia), or a Skilled-Indepent (resident)/Skilled-Sponsored(resident) visa (both are Permanent Resident visas) after you have finished your course. On the other hand, the 1 year course will only qualify you to apply for a 457 visa and other temporary substantive visa after you've finished the course. After you get a year or two experience, you can apply for the PR status. There are other pros and cons for this pathway, most importantly the extra expenses.
