New grad Filipino nurse wanting to work in Australia/New Zealand Part 2

Published

Due to recent changes regarding applications for International nurses to Australia and the combining of the nursing boards to one central nursing board in Australia AHPRA I have started a new thread for people to discuss the new process on working in Australia.

Currently New Zealand is not accepting new applicants from International trained nurses except those that meet the Trans Tasman Mutual Recognition Agreement {TTMR} this will be updated once the New Zealand nursing board reopen their books to International nurses.

Me :)! Just issue an international bank draft payable to "University of Ballarat", OSHC and other materials to "Australian Academy of Nursing". Fill up the letter of acceptance form and send it together with the bank draft to the address given on your offer letter. I sent mine through Fedex and after 2 days, I received my confirmation of admission :)

Please update me! Hope we'll be classmates :yeah:

Hello. I am looking for schools also for bridging program next year 2012. I hope my AHPRA letter will arrive this month. I am currently living here near Melbourne. How much is the Course fee in AAoN? I've been to Dandenong and it is really far from where I am currently staying.

What bank did you use? and would I need a dollar account before I could issue a bank draft?

Hello Makikay. I am a filipina living here in Oz. I am looking at schools for bridging course, La Trobe University and Deakin Uni is offering bridging programs next year.

BPI. But I think all major banks can issue an international bank draft. You don't need a dollar account; Just go to the bank with your money or savings account (if you have any) and they will convert it to Australian dollars. Go to BPI main branch (along Paseo de Roxas, across Enterprise) and tell them that you want to purchase an international bank draft; cut-off time is 2pm.

Hi I just wanted to ask... what happens when you get accepted into a BP school but you choose to go to another school? Is this okay? Since I want to apply to at least 2 schools to be sure.

I think you will not be officially accepted once you pay the tuition fee. Unless you are willing to pay the tuition fees for both schools then it would actually be your choice on which ever school you would like to take. ;)

anyone here who received a letter of eligibility from ahpra even without an ielts exam?

do you guys know what schools are offering BP on june 2012 and onwards? Thanks in advance :)

Really??? oh i love to enroll IHNA. Have they interviewed you? How was it? haha.. Can i ask if what email address you used in sending your dox since mine has been sent back for 3x :crying2::uhoh3: (thru a mailer-daemon)..i really don't know what's the problem.. Are you done with the pre BP course that cost 500 AUD and the visa thing?

I hope i could get IHNA for their feb intake..oh Lord! :redpinkhe

Were you able to send your application to IHNA? I sent mine to [email protected]

Just keep sending your app and eventually, it will work. I had the same problem when submitting mine.
