Which Australian state has the least expensive bridging course for RN?

Published

Ok, after making a few calls, I have to change my original message to this:

I contacted South Australia nurses board and the result is this:

- in order to get registration I need 6 months of working experience - but I'm in the U.S. on student visa(not nursing-related), so I can't get it

- to be accepted into the bridging course, I need 12 months of working experience (which makes no sense, since you can get registered with only 6 months of experience)

- the only option is to go the bachelor program route, which means do the education all over again (3 years)

I wonder if all the nurses boards in Australia like that, or are there any states that actually give new foreign graduates any chances?

Hello - am new - can you guide me as to getting registration, a job and a visa for Australia?

How long does it take

How much does it cost?

Does one need a bridging course- cost? and time?

thanks
