Fro what I can gather the program is 6-8 weeks long, no telling if you will get paid, should image this is something you will have to ask where you are doing your program. It maybe they pay a small amount but if pass assessment they will back date it. It may even be that you do not get paid for doing it.

Enrolled nurse is the same as the LPN in the US and you will find it hard to get a visa for that job.
You are speaking of the bridge program for the RN license, and that is what you should be looking at.
You have mentioned Australia in the title and NZ in the post. Both have very different requirements. Which country is it?
