guys why arent you enthusiastic in enrolling at Ramsay Health Care? they have the most cheap BP cost in victoria...and the possiblity of absorbing you in their workforce once you have completed the BP...
I was in contact with them the past weeks.. Need to send to them the original nbv letter and original ielts trf.. then u still have to wait for their affiliate hospital (which you nominate) to accept you for an interview.. as for etea, you will do the cllinicals at frankston hospital and there's a possiblity of early exit (9 weeks). The staff at etea are really accommodating, answers emails promptly and very nice to talk to.. You can send applications and required documents through email (saves a lot of time and money).

hi dudzy, why not a student visa ? the course IRCON will run for 13 weeks although there is possibility of early exit. if im not wrong, the short stay is 3 months only. yes im a nurse but got no experience yet.

thats what etea advised me to get, the business short stay visa.. they told me that is the visa their students got for the program..
i called etea regarding that matter.. they advise to be in australia just 2-3 days before the course commences.. the number of days for the course is 87 days only so adding up 3 days that totals to 90 days..hehehe
thank you for promt reply...its quite expensive....i am still thinking about it...it only means i have to spend half a million.all n all including the travel and accomodation..whewww...by the way are u a 2nd courser as well? didnt u have problems with the assesment... i am still waiting for my assessment as a 2nd courser.
oki doki! My gosh! its really that long huh?! I read a few threads back that the waiting time is around 2 1/2 months for those who submitted last year.. Gosh! I hope it will be that fast for us. I have not yet heard from them. My only concern is I sent my verification of license via snail mail (20 days accdng to PRC). I am banging my head now for not opting for FEDEX which costs 1200 I think. Argh!
Word of advice by the way for those who are applying for verification of license in PRC. If you are not from Manila, if you have some financial resources, better do your verification in PRC Manila. After applying for verification, they will ask you to return after one week. By then, everything is done and ready to be sent to OZ. They will ask you what mode of sending will you like to choose. Please choose the fast mode (i think its fedex). Don't be like me who is a tightwad.. hahahaha! Now I am suffering in anguish wishing I sent it via the fast way..
Hi Viamarie:
Thanks so much for your posts!
I am currently applying for CRNBC(canadian Registration nurses BC). The thing is, they also need my license verification which i filed last march 8 or 9, 2009 in PRC Cebu. (i was a Nov NLE 2008 passer) So of course when i applied for registration, much to my dismay (literally, my jaw dropped) they told me that i can get my license in 5-6 months. the License is a requirement for the "license verification form" (it's a 1-page form) that CRNBC has that must be filled up by PRC officials. After which , the PRC official will directly send it to CRNBC in Canada. T
Here lies my problem, 5-6 months for license to be release. in other words that form will be filled up after the 5-6 months? I feel, theres too much waste of my time ... You did mention that if one has the extra resources, do this license verifcation in manila. Is it appliable to my case? I don't mean the "board exam passer certification" with the ratings etc... Did you have such "license verification form" also from the Australian Nurses assoc. etc? Im just looking at all possibilities here to make the process faster...Youre right, smaller provinces takes sooooo much longer...
