@lizzie86 i did 1 year bachelor in nursing on a student visa and extended another 1 year student visa doing siploma in leadership and management. sa 2 years na yan, ako lang mag isa kasi og sinama ko si hubby, 40 hours p rin work rights nya and mgastos kya di ko sinama. di pa kami married nyan. after i finished diploma, umuwi ako and ngp kasal kami aug 26,2017. then back to aus na in effect pa din yung 2nd student visa ko.

and here’s my timeline, 2017:

sept 6 - submitted skillselect and vic state nom application with 55+5

sept 7 - acknowledged by vic

oct 15 - claimed extra 5 points for 1 year AusRN exp so naging 60+5 ba

oct 30 - positive nomination and invition received

oct 31 - lodged 190 with hubby as dependent

nov 1 - expiry nung student visa

nov 2 - bridging visa A in effect

dec 5 - direct grant

then just this january, umuwi ako for holidays and sinama ko na si hubby pabalik dito and he found a job within 11 days of arrival na and yung sweldo nya pumantay na saken kahit RN n yung sweldo ko haha.

lizzie86

@kymme wow nakaka inspire naman.So meaning while doing the leadership and management nagwork ka na as a nurse?kaya ka nakakuha ng additional na 5 points for your AU experience?Mind if I ask. Yung second diploma yr mo ba naipon mo ba from your part time job while doing your bachelors?Kaya ko na ask kasi d ba mas maganda 2 yrs ka nagaral sa AU para dagdag points for PR?

kymme

@lizzie86 oo nka claim din ako extra 5 for 2-yr aus study. and yes, after bachelor, ako n ngbbyad lahat ng tuition, visa, bills and wedding p nmin un nkpagpdala pa ako. hardwork lng tlga. and yes, yung 1 year AusRN exp, permanent part time while doing diploma in leadership. so hitting 2 birds with 1 stone. i arrived in Aus kasi with only 50 points. 22 lang ako nung dumating and wlang ma claim na exp. I got my PR before turning 25 din.

lizzie86

@kymme kakatuwa ka naman at grabe lakas ng loob mo. Bilib ako sayo! 🙂 I wish I had the same guts to do all that when I was the same age hehehe.

kymme

@lizzie86 i had to e. pra ma prove kong kaya ko. haha.

Hello @kymme !

Pwede kaya na after 2 years of bachelor in nursing, mag continue ng studies for masters in nursing ng 1.5 years sa Australia din? If yes, does that mean na mas mataas ang magiging show money ko? Gusto ko kasi sabihin sa gte ko na i want to pursue being a clinical educator in my home country after my studies.

Yung syo ba, did you mention in your gte na plan mo din mag take ng leadership course?

Thank you po in advance.

kymme

@shelly Hi. If you have the financial capabilities then go for it. Mej mahal lang (for me) and 2 years bachelor and a masters degree kasi international student rate pa yan e. Namahalan nako kahit 1 year bachelor lang. But its up to u. U dont have to really enrol to prove GTE. Mention mo lng yan yung goal mo.

girmarie

@kymme hello miss kym, magkano po kaya tuition ng leadership and managemnt po?

kymme

@girmarie $6500 yun saken last yr. $1500 down then $500 per month. onshore enrolement yan.

girmarie

@kymme aw ok po, how about yung application for APHRA po? onging po kahit naka student visa ulit? wala naman po bang naging conflict?

Fireonice

@kymme hi mam bago lang po ako, wala po kasi akong nursing experience 5months lang advisable po ang 1yr conversion program and 1 year leadership kesa sa bridging? Enrolled nurse po ba kalalabasan after ng 1yr?

skyisthelimit

@kymme hi, got an offer sa ECU Perth din for July intake. Ask ko sna if ngtry k mgextend ng 3 months after the conversion course or ngapply ka agad ng student visa? Thanks

Cassey

@Fireonice Usually kapag wala kang experience, conversion course yung isa sa mga option mo. Depende kasi yun sa Uni, kung zero experience minsan ginagawa nilang 2yrs instead of 1 year yung conversion course.

Cassey

@skyisthelimit I haven’t heard of the 3mos extension. Pwede kang magapply for another student visa kung gusto mong iextend yung stay mo rito sa Au or if you are eligible you may also apply for a Graduate Visa.

Cassey

@girmarie Walang magiging conflict yun. You can still apply for AHPRA, ANMAC, even for PR.

skyisthelimit

@Cassey thank you po sa info. Sabi kc nung agent ko kpg 1 yr conversion course meron 3 months ka na pede mgstay unlike kpg 2 yrs meron ka another 2 yrs to stay and look for a job. I'm trying to weigh my options po since I have been out of clinical pratice for the past 5 years. I'm torn kung ano mas ideal na kunin.
