Hi everyone! I'm a newbie in this forum. I've been reading this thread for 2 months now, and I must say that all the info you guys have provided are very informative and useful. I actually have this thread automatically set to load whenever I open my browser daily, and I just keep on hitting refresh to see what new posts are made.
I've been planning to take the conversion program in Au to get registered, but seeing all the posts about bridging program is making me change my mind, with the financial factor being at the top of the list. I've actually submitted my applications to universities (Curtin, UQ to name a few), and I'm just waiting for their assessment. I prefer to begin the Au journey at the beginning of 2011.
Do you think I should go for bridging program instead? I have 3 months unpaid training at a tertiary hospital, and am currently on the process of getting hired as a casual employee for 5 months.
Hello people! I'm back. Now. I'm done with the IELTS and passport. What's the next best thing to do while waiting for my IELTS result. Until now I'm undecided what school to choose or if I'll take BP or conversion. Do I have to choose immediately so that I can do the next step. Or can I do something else for my application while waiting and thinking?
Hi wingcharm, I was wondering if you have decided which path you're gonna take -- conversion or BP? I'm stuck like you. Hoping you can share your thoughts with me. Thanks!
I need help. I received a letter of eligibility from NMBWA, and tried to reach the Victorian College of Health and Nursing through e-mail for information about their bp. But no answer. What should I do? Call them and clarify all the issues by phone? Fill out the application form and send it? What are the first steps?
I've been reading this thread for months now and I finally got my letter from the NBV this week.
I am interested for this year's intake for the BP, am considering ETEA and University of Ballrat WLI. I'm going to live in Caroline Springs by the way. Any suggestions which one is better?:)
And what are the requirements for ETEA and UB-WLI?:)
@Alexey VCHN Takes time to reply to queries. I suggest you should probably wait for a couple of days. You could also try to email the HCIG group of the VCHN.
@doza I believe we're on the same boat as I haven't submitted my application yet. have you taken IELTS already?
Budins, yes, I guess so:) havent taken the ielts yet. Wanted to make sure about the regulations first so I can keep my ielts validity for the longest possible time. IDP Manila has it 3x a month I think so I don't worry. Ill apply for it within the week already. What about you? Are you taking the BP or Conversion?

Hey Carla!
Just remember that if you decide to take the BP, you'll have to apply for approval with the AHPRA. With conversion, it's only the school that will approve you for the course. :)
i've already called them (vchn) and received answers to my questions. the only thing i forgot to ask is what kind of registration i'll get at the end: registration of wa (since wa has not accepted the health practitioner regulation national law bill yet) or national-wide??? any guess?
Or maybe I can just choose conversion then retake my IELTS. But It also means I've got to spend millions and spend two years studying again. Am I destined to take conversion? Yeah yeah... I'm being dramatic now.
