Guys I surfed the net for a long time and luckily went through this very interesting forum. I did not go through any agency and did everything my own I mean it took time but I guess its just me very independent... I have recieved my confirmation for the NBV (nurses board of victoria) stating that I am assessed and I can go through the pre-registration course... since I did not go through any agency I am having problems and questions... please please please help me and seriously please? thanks!
My questions are
1. What type or (visa number) will I get in order to have my visa for the pre-registration? And what can I do so they will give me more than 3 months so after pre-registration I can get papers to work?
2. They have written in the letters schools which I can enroll in BUT I WANT YOUR HONEST OPINION ON THE CHEAPEST ONES> YOU KNOW NAMAN PINOY RITE?!?!?! Melbourne po sana na area
3. What are the things that I have to accomplish for the Visa I mean I passed IELTS over 7 lahat...what more
GUYS THANKS FOR READING THIS LONG MESSAGE.... I JUST PRAY THAT YOU HELP ME OUT HERE.. PEACE AND LOVE TO ALL.. MAY OUR DREAMS BE FULFILLED!!!
Most probably you'll be applying for a student visa. But you cannot have that much extension (3 months) especially if the course you are going to take is less than 10 months. Your visa will usually expire a month after the completion of the course. What you need to do is get your registration done right away before the visa expires and lodge you application for assessment in ANMC. You should also have an employer willing to sponsor you so you can do all the process simultaneously. And if you've done it correctly, you will be given a bridging visa so you can stay in Australia while you are waiting for your visa to be finished. If not, you will have to go back to Philippines and wait there.
The bridging courses in Melbourne are pretty expensive and you just have to email those universities in the list to check their current fees.
You can check visa requirements in the Australian immigration website.
1. If you are going to enroll in a Pre-registration Degree (not short course or bridging program/re-entry/return to practice), then you would not need to take any bridging course after. Upon completion of a pre-registration degree, you will be eligible for registration in the relevant state regulating authority. If you are enrolling in a pre-registration degree, you need not apply in the relevant state regulating authority also.
I have to ask also if the pre-registration course you are talking about is the degree or the re-entry or return to practice short courses. Some people are confused with the pre-registration degree and pre-registration short courses in Victoria.
2. Just to clarify, ANMC is for migration purposes only ( e.g. Skilled migration) whereas NBV, or any other state regulating authority, is for registration. You have to get your registration certificate first from NBV in your case, then have you documents assessed by ANMC. DIAC will require your documents to be assessed by ANMC. So, if you want to stay in Australia whilst processing your working visa or permanent visa, you wil have to lodge first to ANMC, and pass a copy of the receipt or the original receipt to DIAC when you lodge your application for the visa.
Thank you thank you!!! Whew!!! That answers a lot!! Thanks!!
I believe the pre-registration that I will take is the one given to first time nurses for us to be able to work as registered nurses in Australia and if I am not mistaken it's the pre-registration degree.
I don't have the luxury of checking my papers because i'm in the US rite now but I am sure it is pre-registration.
Thanks once again for you information. Just so can I e-mail you again if some questions arise?
Thank you thank you thank you!! Be well and God bless!!
I have a feeling that it is a pre-registration course especially if the duration is less than 1 year or in Victoria it will most probably be around 6 months. Because it Victoria the bridging program is also called a pre-registration course for Overseas nurses (first timers). You can always verify if its a degree or not, if there's an award after the course, for example, Bachelor of Nursing (BN) and if the duration is at least 1 year.
And yes you can message me anytime you want. I'll give you my contact just in case.

aelith, do you know anything or updates regarding australia's plan to "nationalize/centralize" their registration/accreditation system for nurses?? is there such plan?? that would mean there would be a uniform procedure for overseas nurses in applying for assessment and registration??

Pre-registration courses do not offer degrees, they are only training programs. Those that are going to Australia and from other SE Asia countries already will possess the BSN in order to get licensed there.

thank you as always..:)
I doubt it; just like the US as well as Canada have individual boards for licensure.

thanks suzanne4.. im just concern because my plans would be adversely affected if such would happen, as we know, each territory have their own system and im spending time and money for a certain procedure of a certain territory..

got this info from the seminar last sunday. i'd have to say that it wasn't really that much of a help. they introduced a review center/agency for the challenge test. but they're too much!! the whole program costs 7000 aus dollars. the package includes 1. cas review, 2. part a, 3. part b. that got me disheartened. i'll just prioritize my nclex first.
