The responsibilities of local government authorities (Councils and Shires) in relation to health care. 3. How health care is funded in Australia. 4.

The processes that exist to protect health consumer rights in Queensland. 7. The foundation principles of primary health care. Could you also post some of the links of your review materials. Thanks

to kit25: Some clarification: Do you mean QNC received your application and ielts results on August 15 and then you received confirmation letter from QNC to take TEST A on August 27? Wow, that was a very quick/fast approval from QNC (cause normally i believe it will take 2-3 mos for the approval), Well thats good to hear and congrats. God bless and good luck for TEST A.

@ kit25 I have a question about some attachments in the application: Did the notary public or school registrar certify your TOR to be true copy of the original? Plus notarized it at the back?

to aelith: How about taking up Age Care III and Age Care IV courses? Can you be registered as a nurse @ queensland nursing council?

to aelith: Thanks for the info. I will also research regarding such option.

to aelith: I have read this from another thread: Some employers are happy to employ overseas nurses on training visas which enable you work as an Assistant in Nursing while you do your CAS educational modules. The wages for AiN are not as high but you can still manage OK for a year until you get your registration. Can this be possible? Taking up CAS education modules at Queensland at the same time working as assistant in nursing. The hospital will sponsor your visa, occupational training visa.

Did you apply for a conversion program? How long would it take? Whre did u apply? What university?

to aileth I'am planning to apply at Queensland.

What is a conversion program? Can you work as a assistant in nursing while doing the program?

This is a suicide mission to all foreign trained nurses if immediately taken without further study.

To andy's mom: I have been reading your past thread messages and ka batch pala tayo. I just also past the June 2008 NLE exam. What location mo sa Phils? Ako I'm down here South of the Philippines. You will be going to Australia for bridging program? What territory did you applied? I'm planning to apply in Queensland. What is bothering me is the cost, I inquired here kasi for NEW Zealand, then the agency only ask for about 65T for their services and that would be a big difference to 180T services for Australia. I'm willing to pay pero they have to make true to their obligation. I'm researching for persons pa kasi who availed of their services. May kakilala ako actually ahead sakin sa school. Nandoon na sya, I have to contact here pa. I will email you kung makausap ko na sya. Thanks for replying

Nope, not yet. I have been researching the net and I come up with this tentative expenses. The big stumbling block would be the review materials because the nursing in the Philippines is different from Australia (i will post some some topics that i found from a another thread). Second the employer who is willing to nominate you once you are registered QNC nurse. I'm having second thoughts of doing it on my own because of such circumstances. I don't know if I'm going to do it on my own or just ask the help of the agency for that matter. I'm afraid because there is a lot of scumbag agencies in the Philippines, hope not this agency is one of them.
