And BTW, the assessment from the Council is the first step. You can't proceed with the challenge test or even the education module if you don't get an approval from them.
is pre registered nursing degrees and migrant bridging program just the same??what are costs for taking CAS/challenge test??
is it true that they're conducting a challenge test somewhere in makati and anyone here that can give details of the agency who can provide reviews and guidelines for the program??
Pre-registration Nursing degree is different from a bridging program. The former are Nursing degrees (Bachelor of Nursing or Master of Nursing) while the latter is a Competency Assessment program - you don't get any award title from doing this one e.g. BN.
Nobody can post details for the agency you are asking here. And may I suggest also that you delete some mails on your inbox as it is already full. :)
I deleted some messages in my inbox, you can now send a PM. Aelith thank you so much for your quick response. it would be a great help if you will post all the options to be registered in Queensland
I have discussed a lot about QNC CAS program in my previous posts here. You can browse through the replies. If there's anything else that you don't understand or need clarification with, just tell me. I'll explain some more. :)
Hi aelith. If an applicant is denied by the nursing council would that mean he could not pursue any further application or would that mean the council would want you to take up the pre-registration course?
You can still be registered after you finish a pre-registration nursing degree. You can apply for any pre-registration Nursing degree in Australia. So, you are not really limited to Queensland alone. It is best to apply for degrees recognized by the relevant state regulating authority. That way, your registration will be expedited.
Should you need assistance with the pre-registration degrees, just tell me. :)
Thanks Aelith. One of the pre-registration requirements ive seen at Ballarat University does require a letter from the NBV that you are qualified for the course. Does that mean that one still has to apply for assessment and then wait for the decision of the council?
Hmm.. a letter from NBV? Could that course be a bridging program and not a Pre-registration Nursing degree? As far as I know, the degrees don't need anything from NBV. I'll double check for you.
UPDATE
Entry Requirements - Int
International students must meet the following basic entry requirements (see below):
At least 18 years of age at the time of the student’s proposed commencement of studies at the university
Level 1 First Aid Certificate is required prior to first clinical placements.

All students must obtain a Police Record Check (renewed annually)and a Working with Children Check (renewed every five years) and be prepared to present this when asked by an authorised staff member of a health care organisation. International students must apply for these checks six months after entry into Australia. The police record must be renewed annually and the working with children record is renewed every five years.
Extra Requirements - Int
In order to satisfy English language requirements of the Bachelor of Nursing, international students are required to obtain an IELTS overall band score of 6.5 with no sub-score less than 6.0.
I have a question about verification. I was told by the PRC that since no form from the NBV is supplied for verification of current registration then all they need is a letter of good standing. I told them that the NBV needs a verification but they insisted that applications from australia only need the good standing letter from them. Is this true?
