@YoungJebediah What's good with bridging is that it only take few months to finish. Why would you choose a lengthy study if you can finish at an earlier time. I would say that it would all depend on what your preference is and your purpose as well. If you can't find a sponsor, you can still apply for PR application offshore. Once you are an RN here, it wouldn't matter whether you finished bridging or Bachelor's. Finding a job would all boil down on your experience overseas and how you present yourself. DIPLOMA is different from Bachelor's and Bridging by the way...
With sponsorships, employers normally look for 3yrs or more of overseas hospital experience and they usually get those who have experience in specialty areas. There are still some who offer sponsorships but not a lot like how it was yrs ago. But who knows, right? Sometimes luck can play a part. Our friend got absorbed from the hospital where he had his placement.
