I could only speak from my experience. I came from the Philippines and had to purchase a return flight as well to ensure no hassles from the immigration counter at the international departure.

They had their clinicals in Temora. I checked our previous correspondence and these are the other places IHNA seems to send their students off for clinical placement: Cootamundra, Tumbarumba.

I know of two people who just did IHNA's bridging course and they did not know where their clinical placement was going to be until after they were two weeks into the theory sessions...

Most of the times the Australian Department of Immigration will issue you a visa by just sending you a letter notifying you of the grant. It will be up to the visa holder to have their passport stamped in the nearest embassy to reflect the visa in o...

Should you decide to go through this pathway, you will be able to confirm with the course provider itself if their programme will satisfy the Nursing and Midwifery Board's condition that will ultimately lead to registration.

Yes you may still try for an AHPRA assessment of your credentials. It might prove to be helpful to you to add some training or at least any form of nursing related textbooks you might have read after 2010. http://www.nursingmidwiferyboard.gov.au/d...

Oh, best wishes to you cheska! You can send off your passport to the nearest VIA centre near you. But if you are departing this weekend then there would be no time for the stamping.

Yes xxxl, rest assured that as a practising RN in Australia you will be able to reimburse your investors with every penny they are going to loan to you. :)

Congratulations cheskaval121!! Are you by any chance in the Philippines? If you are, I suggest that you still undergo visa evidencing/stamping on your passport as the immigration area in the airport can be very tedious (more like suspicious) when it...

I have heard from a friend that her friend was denied of a tourist visa and because of that her bridging programme would be delayed. Perhaps it is safer to apply for a short stay business class or a student visa.

they are probably putting that in their requirement list to make sure that applicants know that it is the applicant's responsibility to obtain the visa. please note that you would need to provide the department of immigration and citizenship the sup...

It is recommended that you try and obtain a short stay business class visa (456).

Hi @zara06 I was just answering marklouiemarco's question. Hehe. But I think no form of study would lead initially to permanent residency here in Australia. Have you already had your credentials assessed by AHPRA Nursing and Midwifery Board? You ...

It may not be like a 'walk in the park,' and there's a spectrum of outcomes from job searching, as some were able to be sponsored by the facility they had their clinical placement in, others had to go home for a fair while and continued job searching...

You may find that seek.com.au can be of some value to you. Or try Google and then point to your desired state/city then type hospital or nursing home and then hover your mouse to see if that facility has got a website that you can visit and apply to...

Lithotomy, "to sit for the exam" is just the same as "to take the exam." It's another way of saying it.

Lithotomy, "one step at a time" means to achieve your goals one by one. Since all dreams of becoming an Australian RN will require the IELTS, it will do you good to focus your attention in getting the required band score (before you let your mind wa...
