    TST is not the definitive test for PTB, chest X-ray is. I tested positive for mantoux as well but I didn't have to defer any application. Most of us will test positive for mantoux because we had BCG...

    Is this really necessary? By the time you will have your theory, you will know about BP itself anyway. Read up on what BP is all about then you won't have to spend unnecessary dollars for it. But if...

    No they don't have an institution in India - they have a recruiting office there instead. The school is owned by an Indian so that is why they have an office in India and the one who interviewed you...

    Hmm that's weird. I was interviewed but I don't remember having been asked about diseases and stuff. But no worries mate, you'll be accepted. Most that get interviewed do; unless one can't speak a tad...

    I'm not really sure about how it is from where you will be studying, but yes there are a lot of essays to write when I had my BP at VCHN. It would be convenient to just bring your own laptop. Good...

    All nurses wanting to do BP must have medicals. Not just the regular blood tests and chest Xrays but the whole lot - HbsAg and HIV included as you will be entering a hospital during clinical...

    Tick "do you intend to enter Australia on more than one occasion" in your application form. They could grant you the visit visa in 1-2

    bellaire replied to Silverdragon102's topic in Nurse Registration

    Since you will be entering/working in the hospital during your BP, you will be required to have medical tests for your 456 visa. HIV and HbsAg are included. These medicals are valid for one year,so...

    You don't have to dig for another buried treasure to apply this for this visa. You can use the same account/s when you applied for the 456. As far as I know, you need medicals (the one you had when...

    Indeed, what is 300AUD compared to heaps you are going to spend with an agency. 25000AUD is a heart attack! and I thought 11000 to 12000 tuition fee for RN 1 is already expensive. There is someone I...

    I'm sorry to hear about that, but if its any consolation, I didn't receive any updates on the changes as well. Just don't give up and try harder next time!
