Anybody doing the next upcoming BP in La Trobe? If you're seeking accommodation arrangements let me know.

Hello

Your gross monthly income might be a bit high for starters...

I'm sorry if I cannot reply to you anymore after this as I have better things to do. Thanks. Have a nice day.

I think you do not expect a wikipedia-copy-pasted definition of the term third world country but a pragmatic definition of the term and facts that will explain how the Philippines falls into the category of a third world country. The term third ...

@mooh mooh Very well said. I couldn't agree more. And with how well you have said your piece, you have simply shown how we, Filipino nurses, have what it takes to step up and show how good we really are. Therefore, despite the fact that we come from...

@rncoco I did my BP last June. La Trobe is a good choice. =)

Thank you summer88. Wish you all the best as well.

I came here to Australia as an overseas RN who did a bridging course with La Trobe with little to almost hardly any experience in the hospital setting. As a fellow Filipino nurse, who then was on the same boat with all the rest of the nurses who can ...

Good. Let me put it this way. You know the saying "Don't count your chickens when your eggs hasn't hatched?" Well... It goes somewhat the same. I understand how some people may have fears regarding job hunting in Australia. But like I always say... I...

I'm in Victoria... this doesn't seem to apply to me... I have way more than 4 patients to look after... and I never had only 4 patients to care for at any time.

mikyong It is part of the requirements that you apply for the student health insurance soon after your application for the student's visa gets approved. The Australian Govt. requires that when you enter Australia using any type of temporary visa, you...

countmein Yes it is required by law that anyone holding a temporary visa must apply for health insurance. Since you will not be using a student visa, I presume, I am not sure if you will be qualified to apply for a student health insurance. A popular...

isobelle You can get a working visa so long as your current visa hasn't expired by the time your employer sponsors for you. Meaning to say, your working visa should be approved within the time frame that your current visa is still valid. That's if yo...

Dumb. When you start your program with La Trobe, they will assist you in sending whatever is needed to be sent. Thing is, that form was supposed to be sent to NBV, but since it is already extinct, you can wait til you start your course in La Trobe an...

@isobelle Yes just go there and you have to fill up 2 forms. If I remember it right, you can get those forms over there. You have to bring photocopies of your passport and probably your passport as well just to make sure. And they can assist you in t...

My suggestion to anyone who plans to apply for any bridging program is to do it yourself. Don't go with any agencies like ASNC from makati (owned by a certain *********), which has been rampantly advertising that they are able to send nurses to Austr...

Congrats isobelle!!! :)

It is pretty realistic... However, I must remind you that you need to have all 7 in IELTS.

Glioblastoma, Although you may seem to be an interesting fellow at times and I can sense that you can be quite helpful to new comers in the forum, I just hope you would at least be a bit more considerate about Filipino nurses in general. If you think...

It is not necessary to go back to your "home-country" while processing your 457 Working Visa. As long as you do it in time and you have an employer that is willing to nominate you for sponsorship. You will automatically be offered a bridging visa whi...

@imsodizzy Hi! I was hoping that you're still reading the forums. I'm so dizzy already with AHPRA's requirements for registration. I sent you a private message but just to make sure I am posting here as well. Please let me know how I can contact you,...

@glioblastoma You keep saying that you want to marry an Aussie... but then again, gay marriages isn't really allowed here you know. hehe...

I guess glioblastoma is funnier than Lithotomy... And she is a real persona... LOLS. @glioblastoma you are not paid during your placement here while doing the BP. It's the same as having clinical duties there in the Philippines when you were still st...

Wow! 2 pages already for the new thread... Cioman you have plenty of time on your hands. hehe... Nice compilation and segregation of infos... Cheers mate!
