Thank you for your reply. I read in some forums that evenr though you don't have any experience here, as long as you pass their Aus Assessment, you are eligible to apply for their bridging course and from what i heard in only cost around 7000AUS$. 12000AUS$ too much! haha! I'm starting to think again.

Hi I would just like to clear this up. Does Australia needs 1 year experience for you to be able to apply for thier bridging course? Or you can still apply for the bridging course even though you have no experience (being here in the Philippines no job for a year, trying to look for a hiring hospital but they insist they're on freeze hiring... how could you get any experience here with flocks of nurses and no vacancies on hosps. sheesh!)

thank you miss suzzanne. Actually i asked an agency here and the agency required me to study OET there for them to file my student visa. I told them that taking IELTS will be ok but they still recommend me to get OET. Will there be any advantage if I get the OET there instead of taking IELTS here? and once I pass my IELTS (if ever im going to take it here), then can I proceed to bridging course in Aussie while on student visa? Much thanks again.

hi! I would like to ask if the Occupational English Test is required there? I'm planning to have my student visa to Aussie, study OET (that is if its really required) then once pass, take bridging course. Taking OET will take tons of money follweed by the bridging course that's why im looking for any options not to take the OET there instead taking IELTS here then once pass, take the bridging course "alone" in Aussie while in student visa. Much Thanks!

i did pass my requirements same last year too same month as yours october. I think you just have to wait for a phone call from them. Just try to pass your requirements again. Probably since they have a bulk of applicants, they can't entertain all the applicants.

with that i really don't know. the last time i heard they had their exam last feb. though having an ivt certification is an advantage, almost everyone who submitted their requirements (such as resume, diploma, tor and prc certifications placed in long brown envelope your name, add and contact details as well the position you're applying, drop it in box somewhere on the parking area basement one [as per direction or hrd]) will go under the same process such as taking their preliminary exam and considering such training in the next few interviews.

i dunno who's to blame having the problem of oversupply of nurses. Sheesh! They should have visualized it before since now, its really a big problem. Opening such schools which, for the sake of money and everything, results to poor quality of nursing plus the Oversupply of nurses.

i've posted this in one of the threads here about the application process in illinois bon. anyways, this thread would be least likely to be helpful for ces application. again sorry for a lot of questions and hope you can help me with this matter. much thanks everyone! god bless! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ hi there! just filling up my ces application form. hope you could help me in some of my questions: authorization to release information form - what should i write below the authorized agent? such as follows:contact name organization name address telephone as such.

hi there, after we finished the prequalifying exam ni med city last dec 12 i guess (which i didn't pass unfortunately), they told us that the next prequalifying exam will be by june this year. I think they hire 2 a year just like the board exams (june and dec)

i think almost hospitals provide training, problem is you have to pass their requirements including exams and interview. I haven't there yet since right now, it's very hard to apply to a hospital and even if you apply, a lot of patience is needed. Think of it that graduates and board passers last june 2007 is "still" waiting ang looking for the right job. If I were you and you are pretty sure that you're going to pass the boards, better apply in advance. hehe!

hi there I passed my application in Capitol Med Center last year, particular in the month of October and still no calls have been made. Same goes with Medical City which almost 300 took the entrance exam (including me) and unfortunately i think 50 or less did pass during the prelimiary exams. If you're going to ask me about the requirements: the usual resume, tor diploma, certifications of grades from NLE plus Cert of passing, PRC card, birth cert (all of them are xeroxed) plus bring extra ID pics including 1x1 or the 2x2.

hi there! I also applied in that hospital, I guess october last year and honestly, till now I haven't recieve any call from them. I guess they prioritize those who graduated from their school. My friend's sister is a nurse there and she told me that it took her 9 mos before she was informed for her exam and interview.

hi! based on my experience, I got my license 6mos after the board exams. I think that depends on your family name (and I guess the officers who were in charge of the registration date since I think they control on whatever they want you to get your ID). Besides you can work even if you don't have your license and that would be followed when you get your license. Exemptions are some of our government hospitals which they require you to have your own license.

Me!? 1) complete spa from head to toe 2) sumptous feast al the way buffet and to end my day 3) a hug from somebody hahah!
