Hi. Just a querry, is your nursing job description there a primary one?
Please expound about a primary one as far as i know ( 2544 Registered nurses listed on the specialized occupation and in the critical job list which usually receives priority processing when it comes to migration applications . As a paediatric nurse initial employment it is not my specialize field since i am a NICU nurse but i have the option to undertake a specialize training in paediatrics in the future.
can anyone help me out on deciding whether to take a bridging program or a bachelor's degree?you see, i'm aiming for sydney.i've actually asked for assistance from idp about the bachelor's degree and boy, was it pricey! and not to mention, way time consuming!
i've read on this thread that the bridging program is way cheaper.also, a friend of mine told me that the list of the in-demand professions in australia now excludes nurses.is this true?

SKILLS AUSTRALIA TO PROVIDE ADVICE ON NEW SKILLED MIGRATION OCCUPATION LIST
The Australian Government has asked Skills Australia to provide advice on the development of a revised list of skilled occupations to be used for general migration purposes.
The new Skilled Occupation List (SOL) will be published by 30 April 2010 and will come into effect from mid 2010. The new SOL will streamline arrangements by having in place one skills list to replace the current skilled occupation list, the Migration Occupations in Demand List and the Critical Skills List.
Skills Australia (http://www.skillsaustralia.gov.au) is an independent board comprised of experts from industry, economics and education. Its role is to provide advice to the Federal Government on Australia's current, emerging and future workforce development and skills needs.
The Chair of Skills Australia, Mr Philip Bullock said "A targeted skilled migration program is, and will continue to be, very important in ensuring Australia has the skilled workforce it needs for our future economic and social development and prosperity. The request of Skills Australia to provide advice on the Skilled Occupation List brings general skilled migration into the fold of national workforce planning. This will better ensure that skilled migration complements the efforts to develop Australia's existing and future workforce-through the provision of high quality education and training for new and existing employees, the effective use of the skills in the workplace and a holistic approach to workforce development in Australia."
The new Skilled Occupation List (SOL) for migration purposes will be developed by Skills Australia. It will focus on specialised occupations that require a long lead time of formal education and training and where the economic impact of not having those skills is significant.
Skills Australia will use the latest industry, education and employment statistics and trends and information supplied by the Department of Immigration and Citizenship and the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations. The final advice to the Government will be considered within a broader context of Australia's ongoing and future workforce development and skills requirements.
The new list will aim to ensure Australia's General Skilled Migration program is focused on high value skills that will help address future skills needs.

thanks again RNoz1! I'm really exited about the bridging program! In fact, I'm gonna tell my friend about it. Btw, is the IELTS score requirement all 7 for this program? Can my friend and I apply anytime? When does the next batch start?sorry for asking too much questions.I'm trying to make a final decision by this week because the deadline for the bachelor's degree program requirements is on April 16.
No worries, If you are an RN in the Philippines please have your credentials assess with the NBV. UNISA will not offer the ARNTP
for 2010 since their accreditation to offer the program is under review by the NBSA.

Perth takes 1 year, Adelaide 6 mos, Melbourne 2-3.5 mos
Why can't Perth be 6 mos too???
Do you already know that for July all courses leading to registration in all states will all be recognized? LOL... They should start making a unified one like all 3 mos or all 6 mos coz this is really a mess. What would be the standard then?
