as to experience yung APHRA will consider ALL experience basta job description is RN kahit volunteer or paid. BUT for the purpose of being a permanent resident atleast minimum 2yrs PAID experience para state nomination 190, someone mention above pwede walang experience sa New south wales, but di ako sure since Victorian sponsored ako. if swertehin k makakuha k nang sponsor employer for 457 after aphra registration pwede k mag work for 1yr then apply indepedently for a visa after ANMAC skills assessment.
kaso in reality pahirap na pahirap n maghanap nang sponsor ngayon lalo n if konti lng experience mo. yung kalaban m sa job market galing UK,ireland,nang saudi etc..mas gusto yan nang employer. di k naman sinasabi n wala n ngayon ang nagsposponsor yung lahat mapili n din sila.
check the website allnurses.com madami dun information to help you decide.

1. She needs to apply for AHPRA REGISTRATION first. And get her credentials assessed by ahpra. More or less she will be recommended to do the IRON Program. nurses must apply to AHPRA to have their overseas nursing qualifications assessed. If their qualifications are assessed as equivalent to Australian education standards they will be granted registration. For many nurses from countries such as India, China, Philippines to name just a few, the most likely outcome is that they will need to undertake the IRON Program.
2. She will be given a letter of determination, which she will then have to choose an insitution that will providet the IRON program. Wherein she will get documents required to apply for her visa.
3. correct me if i am wrong, She wont be applying as a student visa. I am not sure what kind of visa but you can ask a MARA agent about that or someone here can enlighten us. What i know is it's a "business visa" of some sort. Maybe other who did the bridging can share.
4. Bridging course has a lot of variety and lengths. Some has 6 weeks, some has 6 months. depends on the state and of the insitution doing it.
5. Once she has completed the course, she can get her AHPRA registration. After that she needs to apply for the SKILLS ASSESSMENT under ANMAC. She will need to meet the 5 criteria. Please refer to ANMAC website for more information.
6. Getting the PR is a bit tricky because she will have to meet the minimum skill points of 60... Once she gets that, she can apply for her PR may it be 189 or 190.
These facts are based on what I know so far gathered from families and friends.. Please refer to the anmac website for more information.
My pathway is different so feel free to correct me because I graduated BSN from a uni here in Australia. Hope these helps!

make a budget:
groceries: 50 to 80aud
Fare: 7.52aud/day or 135aud if you will buy a one month pass (unlimited train/bus/tram)
Mobile: 30aud
Since you will be staying up to Autumn prepare warm clothes, although there are a lot of second hand shops you can buy winter clothes from.

San k mag placement? if sa country..madali umiwas sa temptation nasa country ako the whole time nang bridging course k. and since paid n yung accommodation k, at group kame bumibili nang food believe it or not I only spent 350aud for 3 months..no need n kasi for transpo kasi walking distance lng lahat..
