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 before. As long as the chest x-ray is negative, th...

Try contacting the school directly to get up to date information. The "within this year" stated by the agency is very vague so it is best to get a hold of the school. The BP of VCHN are more frequent than any other school I know but I am not sure how...

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 it is compulsory and required, then you have no cho...

some employers require IELTS as well.

The accommodation package IS through the roof! One is better off finding a place nearby and just walk to school. There were Filipinos who took the accommodation package but mostly the Indians do. In my opinion however, it doesn't really follow that ...

If I remember it correctly, I got the letter of offer a day after the interview. You will know that you got accepted when you receive the offer letter mate. You could give them a ring and ask them to send it to you if they haven't already.

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 was Indian.

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 of english at all. At least that's what I think. ...

Usually after your phone interview, they will email you the letter of acceptance. After you sign the acceptance form and paid at least the enrolment fee, they will send you the receipt of payment and proof that you are enrolled for the BP. This could...

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 luck!

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 placements. What an experience that must have been for you...

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 days.

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 when you apply for a visit visa after your 456, you ...

@judfort: You must NOT have a 'no further stay' condition on your 456 visa to apply for the visit visa.

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 you applied for the 456 will suffice), bank stateme...

Applying for a tourist visa before the three-month stay lapses would be the better option in my opinion.I think it would be more economical to take the BP first than going to Australia ahead of time and apply for jobs. You won't stand out in the crow...

I think you need proof of address in Australia as well like a bank statement.

You can have police checks when you're in Australia. As far as I know, police check in Victoria is around 33AUD. Try to check in Sydney how much.

Why would you need a company to assess your nursing experiences when you have AHPRA which is authorised to do the assessment for you? I suggest to everybody to read up on the AHPRA website on the minimum requirements to be eligible as a division 1 re...

With so many applications AHPRA is processing right now, there is bound to be some missing papers along the way. That doesn't excuse them, mind you, but just a reality that things like these do happen. They told me to send a new set of documents bec...

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 know who applied for OZ who is supposed to go to O...

If I were in your shoes, I'd take option 3. BP will take only 3 months to complete. After completion, submit the necessary papers to AHPRA (course completion, proof of ID) and wait for the registration. As long as your papers are complete, you can ge...

I've applied for BP in this institution and was unsuccessful. Getting in to HPH is a looong shot. Its better to check other BP schools where it is easier to get a slot.

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! Cheers!
