Bridging Program/ IRON Program

penpendesarapin

Hello everyone! Newbie here. I would like to ask with regards to bridging program or IRON program. How was it? Mahirap ba or tama lang po? I mean kaya po ang ang bridging program? Salamat po. Your responses is much appreciated.

I heard tourist visa lang ang binibigay for IRON program, meaning you dont have any rights to work in Australia meaning after graduation mahirap kumuha ng employer who will sponsor you kasi nga you dont have any rights to work in Australia plus limited lang stay mo sa Aussie. After your visa expires, you will go back to Phils and apply for a new visa.

Ako din po ask ko din dana yung mga nakapag bridging na if how was it? And mahirap po ba? Yan po kasi ang binabalak kong kunin pero kinakabahan ako kasi mostly secondary hospital lang ang experience ko and now may working gap na ako ng almost 2 years... Malaking pera din po kasi ang iinvest sa bridging kaya gusto ko sana makahingi ng inputs sa mga nakapag take na... Tia 🙂

Hi fellow nurses, i took the IRON program last year sa ETEA. I have 16 years experience as RN and at the same time C.I. sa isang university dito sa Pinas. Bali 4 wks ang theoreticals - Basic nursing skills, basic med-surg topics then return demo ng basic nursing skills followed by 5 weeks clinical placement, 1 week post conference. Madali lang mai pasa ang IRON especially kung matagal ka na sa profession.

Here's an existing topic specific for nurses who wants to emigrate to Australia

@Santi hi ma'am. When you took your bridging program po, anong visa po gamit mo? Is it student visa or visitor visa? Thank you po

penpendesarapin

hello! thanks for the reply. @Santi when you applying in Australia and complying all docs nag DIY ka lang? or may migration agency ka? If so, what migration agency? after ka nag bridging umuwi ka sa pinas? if so, ilang buwan ang paghihintay mo sa pinas? sorry madami and tanong ko. I'm here in Saudi Arabia, working for about 2 1/2 years but i have 4 years exp in Phil.

Hello po @penpendesarapin, saudi ka po ngayon? Sa hosp ka po ba nagwowork? Ex saudi po kasi ako kaso polyclinic lng... And we have the concern din po...

Hi po @Santi, ask lng po ako if accredited po ba ung clinic experience lng? I really dont have idea po kasi.. Salamat po.,,

penpendesarapin

hi @ykcul_kcul yes I'm here in Saudi right now and working in the hospital as well, with regards to your concern maybe you can check to some of the migration agency because they know what pathway would fit to your qualifications. and besides you need the experience when you are applying jobs in Oz and some of the migration agency whom I contact suggested that its better to have experience in a 100 bed capacity hospital.

Hello @penpendesarapin thats what ive heard nga rin po... Im still searching for other way that will qualify my credentials... Ang hirap pa nmn sa saudi e.process ung mga papers... If i go through agency po kasi, mapapamahal po ung gastos ko... Anyways salamt po

Cassey

@aranayad Hi, based sa AHPRA website pwede naman, as long as may experience within the last 5yrs and as an RN yung position.

Hello mam @Cassey cge po mam.. maraming salamat po talaga...

aranayad

@Cassey good to know that she can do BP. she's currently working po sa dubai as a RN

Cassey

@aranayad Iaassess pa naman siya ng AHPRA before siya makapagbridging kung eligible ba siya or hindi. As long as she gets the required score for IELTS, wala namang problema. 🙂

@ykcul_kcul Walang anuman, hopefully next week mapost ko na. Medyo daming gawa kasi ngayon.
