PhRN w/ limited exp. seeking bridging program in Australia

Published

Hello fellow nurses!

I'm an RN in PH and graduated long ago. I only have minimal exp. (4mos.) in the hosp. setting and it's past the 5 year time frame AHPRA has set to qualify for the bridging program (please correct me if im wrong). I would really like to undergo the BP as it really looks promising for nurses aspiring to migrate to AU. I'm working for a bpo company right now mainly handling healthcare accounts. I can't leave my job since my family needs financial help and if I work for a hospital here in the Phils. I won't be able to support them anymore. I've heard from a friend that there are options to do the BP even without having an exp. Can I have some advice on this? Thank you in advance.

my understanding is you need a letter stating you need to bridge

Hi Silverdragon102! Thanks for responding. Well the bottomline is I wanted to know If I'd still qualify for the BP although my exp. is limited. I've known from a friend that there are options where inexperienced nurses get to have BP. Is this true? Thank you.

Until they review application it is hard to say but experience from posts posted here is you should qualify
