Oh sure... You're very much welcomed here. Start gathering your moolahs as early as now
Really? Thanks! BUt I just want to clarify..I've been consulting different agencies here, both at office and online, and most of them require at least 1-2 years of experience in a tertiary hospital, which means paid work. I have to present a proof of employment before I become eligible to enrol in a BP, but if I'm not mistaken, I've read some posts here in the forum that a few months will do.. I am quite confused.
hi everyone! im a newbie in this forum...my first time to be exact... guys, i just would like to ask.... i had my phone interview with VCHN last wednesday (June 23). When are they going to send their feedback? or offer letter? (if ever il be accepted)... I'm targetting the august 2010 intake...
i appreciate it so much if you could give me a short information about this... thanks

hey, ianina.. you can do the applications on your own...while it may be helpful, it is not really necessary to get an agent just to file an application for bp. a number of posts have discussed the steps to applying for a bp, but in a nutshell:
1. you have to apply to the nursing council of your choice, i guess since your mother is in melbourne you'd be applying to nurses board of victoria..however, come july 1, there will be one nursing body for the entire australia and you'd have to apply there.. i am not very familiar with it , though..but im sure you can gather info on it easily through research;
2. once you get a letter of eligibility to take the bp from the nursing council..you can apply to any of the accredited bridging course providers;
3. once accepted...apply for the appropriate visa ( in my case i am applying for a 456 visa)... do the medicals... and for bp, complete the immunisation requirements.
as for the work requirement, i know of several who have undertaken their bps or are going to take their bps who have no work experience yet and some others have had volunteer or training work experience only and they did well with their applications.. so i reckon, you can apply now. im just not sure about the new nursing policies though..although, if im not mistaken, cerdwyn posted a few pages back on information on the required nursing work experience.
i hope i was able to help you even if some of my points are a little vague..hehehe..but as with everything else, nothing beats reasearch research research... go go go, ianina:yeah:
@drednag having lots of options... -im not really sure if that's good! if it rains moolah today or tomorrow then everything should be fine! i've found a way to address the vaccine and medical reqt. :)
goodluck with the visa application! :)
hey, newmac.. lots of options is better than no option..hehehehehe..if it rains moolah on your end of the rainbow, do give me a call and id be there in a heartbeat...
hey, how did you address the vaccine and medical requirements? i've had my medical (for the visa) last friday, hopefully all is well so i can lodge my visa application already. but im having a hard time with the immunisations..care to share some tips?

anyways, best of luck to us, bro...:up:
i sure will!... but no weather report yet on when it will happen.
vaccines & medicals. im currently outside the philippines. the approved panel doctor in my location processes medicals in a day or two plus 3 days for delivery. cost is probably almost the same as st. luke's (not sure). nothin's cheap nowadays anyway, right? vaccines. i'll opt for serology bec. it is not that costly here. in fact some of the vaccines listed are given for free. i'm just hoping all my anti-bodies will be present! otherwise, it's another thing to address. but i will still send my 456 visa application in manila as they only take 3-4 working days ("if all is well") to arrive at a decision. i could have lodged my application and do the above by next week. but im havin trouble satisfying the moolah requirement. it's just a bit tough doin everything on my own. where would a 23-year old get all those moolahsss in 30 days or less?!... but, hey, i'm still hopeful! i can do this! we all can!.
i hope everything will be fine with your medical! for vaccines, are you having them re-done or you're doin the blood test which i heard is really bloody costly?
