hi! have you considered taking OET instead of IELTS. i know somebody who had the same problem as yours. failed IELTS 3x in Australia. she took OET and passed it on 1 take. apparently OET is easier but more expensive than IELTS.

for my case i was not asked by the immi officer both in phil and au. i went back to au twice using my 456 with multiple entries and didn't experience any difficulty :)

i think you can write both :) start with the most recent which is the PRC board exam then your BSN.

hi joe dont include nclex anymore coz they'll ask you to send a certificate of good standing from BON Vermont which would be another hassle for you.

hi i was on 456 visa :)

post bp and when you receive your reg already :) i dont know why they told you that you can stay in OZ with work rights while PR is being processed unless maybe you'll be on a student visa first yes you can work 20 hrs per wk but student visa is only valid until the course ends so you might need to enrol to a diff course which may allow you to stay for another yr depending on the course with working rights. you can lodge PR while your in Phils as long as you already have your AHPRA license. :)

hi you wouldnt be able to apply for PR without your registration so you would need to do your BP first - get RN license - apply for skills assessment in ANMAC - lodge and expression of interest for PR - get invited by DIAC to apply for PR - then lodge PR application. skills assessment from ANMAC would take 4 mos and getting invited to apply for PR would i think be around 3-4 mos as from what Ive heard from my friends who applied. if it happens that you were able to lodge your PR while still on your visa subclass 600 i think you may be able to get a bridging visa while waiting PR in Oz. but the problem is you wouldnt be able to work while waiting for PR and its really not that practical. those who werent able to get a job applied for PR offshore and I reckon the waiting time would be longer if its filed offshore as they would prioritise those who are currently staying in oz like what happens when applying for 457. i am not an expert regarding PR hehe but those info are based from what my friends experienced. all requirements are in the DIAC website. :)

you would have to wait for your ahpra reg before you can apply and you have to pass the 60 points requirement. this includes at least 36 mos exp overseas thats for the independent skilled subclass 189. first step is to lodge an expression of interest and wait for immi to invite you to apply. i think you cant stay in au if its being process as your living rights would still be of your previous visa. hope this helps! :)

oh sorry. try it again :)

there is one doctor who's clinic is in Heidelberg near ETEA office and when i also went in Au I lack the flu vaccine so I had to do it here. I certainly think you can do some of the vaccines here as long as you do them before your clinical placement starts. :)

hi jo! for 457 you have to upload scanned original copies of passport, birth certificate, receipt of medicals, job offer letter, contract, college diploma, ahpra registration cert, i also showed evidence of BP completion, for ielts it has to be valid but im not sure if it has to be all 7 for 457 visa app. you can call the immi to ask that, nomination grant letter which should he forwarded to you by your employer and also evidence of health cover or insurance :)

i have 1 yr ED and 2 yrs medical imaging in makati med :)

the timeline that i showed was for my 457 visa :/
