It's AUD$15,200 now.

I'm still waiting for the reply from ETEA regarding the clarification. Will do email you after they respond. :)

I believe the answer should be Yes, since the Philippines is where you are from and lived there for more than 6 months even after the age of 18. You also did 4 years of BSN training that is not in Australia, so yes should be the correct answer and you'll need an ICHC (from fit2work.com.au) for that. :)

The form that ETEA sent me differs from the one in the website. It says "or" in the form they sent, it's the same with ACN. Or is it because I'm applying for ETEA NSW and requirements differ from state to state? Anyhow, will send ETEA an email to further clarify this. Thank you!

Try also RITM for the MRSA swab. If you want to save, why not just get 2 doses of adult MMR vaccine instead, it's way cheaper than to have the serology for those 3.

Thank you mgjuanRN!

I think St. Lukes do conduct those tests and for maybe a cheaper alternative, just go to any Hi-Precision branch (I'm not sure though if they have MRSA swab, try to call them if they have those tests). :)

Didn't know that you can rush the process, had to wait for 3 working days to get mine. :

Hi paul_rn, did you already accomplished all the vaccination and serology including TST before you got your LoE? Seems that ETEA and ACN have almost similar requirements when it comes to immunisation so I'm planning to get this done already before I receive my LoE.

Yay! Thanks man, appreciate it! :)

Do they still interview incoming students for the program? Anyway, I'll drop them an enquiry email tonight. Thanks paul_rn!

Did your RO requested this? The only original document that you'll request in PRC is your Certificate of Good Standing to be sent directly by them. Accreditation to satisfy Criteria 2 & 3 are to be accomplished by your school/PAASCU and CHED. But according to NMBA, the Philippines will still not meet these criteria and we will still be referred to a bridging program. There are actually people here who didn't submit any letter of accreditation but were still able to get their LoE.

Oh great! AHPRA received my application on the 22nd of Feb but I received the acknowledgement letter 5 days later which was on the 27th. Hopefully it will arrive next week based on the average processing time frame, although I'm still hopeful that I can get the letter early. Anyway, how did your reserve your slot in ACN? Do I need to fully accomplish the requirements first? Thanks!

Hi @paul_rn! Did you use any agency to enroll in ACN or is it just on your own? I'm also planning to enroll in ACN, I'm just waiting for my LoE.
