Study in australia

Hi! I'm Anne, a registered nurse in the Philippines. My grandmother who is an Australian citizen asked me to search for Nursing schools in Sydney and Melbourne with an affordable tuition fees. I would like to have any suggestions from all of you. Thank you.

if for NSW area, should try, UTS, UWS, ACU or Notre Dame

Can I just say also it would be appreciated if people came back on here and said thank you? Many of us work shiftwork & care for families, & we take the time to do messages on here to help struggling nurses.

Thank you.

Thank you. I visited the site. :)

hi anne, I am erwin. I am also looking for an affordable school in brisbane for my bridging course in nursing. hope you can also help me hehehehe.

i think it is between 9000-10k aud.

The cost is actually between 10 and 12 thousand AUD depending on which state and which university you take the Bridging Program in.

if i were to choose from the 2, bridging program or bachelor of nursing (1 year) which one would be best to take.. what are the advantages and disadvantages? thanks..

thanks for those infos, hmm is there such a thing as study now pay later? (I'm pertaining to bridging program) because it's too expensive for us filipinos if around 10-12k AUD.. how sad.. i really like to study there so I'm willing to try anything just to make the expenses cheaper. i hope that you would help me find the answers guys, please. thanks. =)

Not from this country. Our own nursing students have few government scholarships and if there was a scheme it would have hundreds of applicants that it would cost the Australian taxpayers millions.

The government has already extended placements for nurses at Australian universities so that we may have enough Australian educated RN's in the future, immigration of nurses is supposed to be a fill in.

All nurses here still have to pay for university even subsided places still cost our parents or the student 12-20,000 AU, so it is not cheap for an Australian to become a nurse either.

There are schemes apparently in your country, that give loans according to your families assets. But you need a job here to pay it back.

If you do not have any/very little experience it is becoming increasingly difficult to get a job especially for an employer to sponsor a visa for an international new grad, when our own are having trouble getting a job for a nurse with no experience.

AS for what is the best way to go,....I would say the shortest and quickest as you will still be seen as an IEN no matter what way, 1 year university or a shorter and cheaper bridging course. You need to be here soon, jobs are not plentiful in Victoria anymore and I have heard from grads/little experience that NSW is filling up quickly.

And Queensland has a employment freeze on nurses that are not experienced, as half of their new grads from last year did not get jobs or were offered part-time.....which of course will not get any International nurse a sponsored visa as the job needs to be full time.
