Bridging Program in Australia

World Registration

Published

Hi. I am new here. I don't know exactly where to go. I am a registered nurse here in the Philippines and I am interested in studying in Australia for a bridging course that will help me become a registered nurse there. I need some help on looking for a good school that offers a bridging course.

My aunt told me that a friend of her friend just went to AU to take up a test and in 6 months she's there for a bridging program. and I have this friend who has a friend who became a registered nurse in AU in 6 months time too. This agency is offering me to study for a certificate III aged care with occupational English test for 46 weeks in Einstein College but it costs too much. So now, I am trying to look for a school wherein I can apply by myself and hopefully get in. I am hoping I could leave for AU this June 2011. I am a bit lost on what to do. Can you help me, please? Any suggestions? ? Please help me. Thank you very much. :clown:

(Sydney area would be better since my parents are more familiar and in favor of that place... though other cities/areas will be great too)

helo everyone..

i would like to know if anyone here is still looking for a school where to enrol for his/her BP in Au for 2013 intakes? coz i am right now and i havn't found one yet. it would be grateful to know one whom i could exchange infos with.

Tnx so much!

hi gagamgurl!

when did you enroll in IHNA perth? how much is the tuition fee? and are the 2013 intakes are ANMAC approved already?

Tnx for your reply

hey jap_617,

I just got my approval from AHPRA and I'm still looking for schools. NSW is my first choice but I'm planning to apply in Melbourne anyway just to be safe. You??

How worse is the situation to secure an offer of place in AU? Is it just as worse as NZ, because I wasn't able to go ahead with my CAP in NZ because of this.=c

hi pogzRN!

me too! im considering melbourne since most of the accredited schools are in there.. I am interested of IHNA and University of Ballarat. How about you? what school are you planning to get enroll with?

As what i have heard, its not easy to get shortlisted because there are many enrolees and the schools limit the number of their students per batch of intakes. :)

I see. Yeah, I'm considering Ballarat and EETEA as well. I don't think I could make it to IHNA as I only have a 15 months of hosp experience to back me up. Have you applied to any schools already??

I still have to take IELTS again next week as my first one already expired. So, I would probably start handing in my applications by November.

I just hope I can secure an offer of place by the end of this year,

oh.. i thought we can enroll together. (sigh!)

i hope that i may be able to send my papers by next wk coz right now, im still surfing the net about these schools..i dont want to regret in the end, just in case.. :)

good luck on your IELTS exam:up:

well, I would suggest you better hurry up then. As what I've read from some of the posts, schools haven't gotten back from their applications yet for months.

I don't even want to be hasty but I think everything has its own time, it'll all just fall into its place.=)

Do keep in touch and let me know any updates.=)

Yes pogzRn, you're right. That's what makes me panicky this time. hope i will make it before the deadline of submission..:o

anyone of you who will be doing the IRON at UB/AAON this dec? ;)

hi bigbrowneyes!

I am very interested to study at UB/AAoN hoping to get short listed next year.. my latest date of enrollment is by June 2013 coz my LOE expires on Oct. 2013 and my time is running.

PLEASE help me coz as of now im preparing the requirements to get enrolled. What are the documents you attached in the your application form? are they certified by the notary public or any Atty. available?

moreover, could you please state the procedures you did..

Thanks much bigbrowneyes!

actually i was under an agent so i only submitted the ff: COE, CV, TOR, ielts result, board cert, board rating, diploma and anything related to my studies. i think they scanned it and sent it to the school. i had a telephone interview then letter of offer will be sent if you passed.

for the visa processing, i had those certified by a notary public and added an affidavit from my parent/s or anybody supporting my studies in oz (have 2-3 copies of this) with bank cert and bank statements, ITR and other docs that can show their financial suitability. they were all certified. just an advice, never submit original documents to embassy except your passport because if somethings happens with your application, God forbids though, they are not going to return everything intact.

god bless on your application! :)

Thank you Bigbrowneyes for the advice, i will remember that. likewise, your infos are very helpful in my part since im doing it all by myself. Gee! how i wish i'll have a place in one of the schools im applying..(cross-fingers) hoping for the best!!

Thanks once more!:)
