@RYAN "hello, yes if you are a PR you are eligible to apply for a scholarship PLUS the australian government will pay for the remaining balance..so you will not be spending even a single cent for the course fee... only certain institutions accept payments from the government...but for the scholarship thingy, im 95% sure all of the institutions are accepting it..." is it applicable for me even if im a newly grant PR? so u mean u did'nt spend a single cent for ur uni fees?? sorry im so cholitttt... jejejeje

@RYAN \ hi! i'll just ask something regarding about your scholarship in deakin? is it a priviledge for a permanent resident like you? Did you inform deakin that your a PR and ask if you are eligible for a scholarship?? can i do the same with any other edu provider??

@chabeli i think echuca is still 2 hrs from swan hill.im just not sure. goodluck to both of you. I also dnt have a work here in swan hill.we just been here for a month. its so hard to find A WORK here.much better in western A. i easily got a job there as a PCA. anyways. wish you all the best. don't worry chabelis gf we will soon have a job.:up::up::yelclap:

hello guys! its nice to hear that everyone is bz on there papers. I'm still waiting for my board certificae bcoz it is not yet release until now. :cry: i took the board nov 2008 and i still dont hav my board certificate... grrrr... I'm still waiting for my bOARD Certificate so that i can send my docs to NBV. I'm just hoping i can still take my BP before july 2010. @CHABELI & GF i've been in bendigo last week. just accompanied my friend on her medical exam at St.John of God Hosp. Its my first time to go in bendigo and its really a quiet place. but bendigo is much better compared to Swan hill in terms of the shops. I'm here in Swan Hill its a 2 hours drive from bendigo.. Enjoy your stay and bendigo.. Goodluck to your BP. one more thing a friend of mine is a newly registered nurse here in swan hill and she also take her BP (i dont know where) but while shes taking the BP she applied here in Swan Hill and asked if they can sponsor her. indeed she's being sponsored for a resident visa (not sure if its a resident visa). Hope to see you guys someday... God Bless on all our endeavours...
