Good day Steppybay,

You mentioned that its not that easy to convert the student visa over now. So it wouldn't be advisable to go into BP with a student visa?

Hi.

Is anyone here enrolled for the Assessment of Competence Program in The Australian College of Nursing (College of Nursing) for Jan 2013? If you guys need a place to stay, I can recommend a good place close to the college. Its about 10mins walk.

Regards :)

Hi everyone, can someone give me a rundown on how to process the Bridging Program in Australia? I'm a newly grad and unfortunately doesn't have any working experience yet. Honestly, I don't know where to start so I'm crossing my fingers if anyone of you can help me with this. Thanks in advance

Can someone post a brief step by step (IF that's okay with you) on how to begin the Bridging Program in Australia? All I can read in the previous posts is that most of you have already their visa and I'm having a hard time to cope up (Coz I'm really out of place -___-)

PLEASE, help me. I don't know where to start and I really want to grab this program. Btw, I'm a fresh graduate and no working experience yet. Is that even possible that I can be part of the bridging program? Thanks

Yes. 2 of them have around 2 to 3 years work experience. the other one only has I think a year of hospital experience. Anyway, one was hired in an aged care facility and the other two in a hospital.

thanks chelsea for that input, would you say that after BP one can get a job after four(4) months max on the average? granting that applicant is not too picky....

You will have difficulties finding a bridging program and an employer to sponsor a job for you.Is there a way of getting experience in your own country first.Australian new grads are finding it hard to get first job and are now moving to wherever they can find work.

Is being a volunteer will count as an experience? I'll probably start on February.
