    Hello! I'm new here. I'm an RN here in the Philippines and have 4 years of experience as a military nurse.. I am leaving the service soon to pursue a career in Oz. What would you expect after a bridging program? What assessment would you undergo following tbe bridging program? does it guarantee you to be licensed once you finished taking the course?or may bumabagsak dito? Im confused whether to pursue that or to take the 1yr BSN course from UQ , just like what my friend did. After grad nakakuha agad ng license friend ko and nakawork agad.kaya ito na lang sana pnaplan ko kunin. ano ba mas okay sa dalawa?Hellllpppp!

    Depende sa iyo. If may pera kang gumastos ng 1 year, go ka. Degree din iyan. Kung wala naman, mag 3 months bridging ka.

    Kung makakakuha ka agad ng slot sa UQ, this year ba iyan? At kaya mo mag finance, I think go for it na rin. Kasi di mo na need mag undergo before hand sa AHPRA and before graduation mo dyan makapag apply ka na as RN sa AHPRA.

    Medyo matagal kasi magpa assess sa AHPRA ngayon. Last year, around 1 year waiting. I think ngayon, around 6 months. Tapos after bridging, around 4-6 weeks wait again.

    Another consideration is work rights. Kapag bridging program ka, wala kang work rights pagkatapos kasi mostly under visitor visa ka. Iba kapag on student visa ka, may time ka para makapag work after your degree.

    I chose bridging program dahil ayon lang kaya kong ifinance (biggest factor), may experience naman na rin ako, mas mabilis maging RN. Fear ko kasi paano kung magbago na naman ang rules ng immigration at mawala na ang RN sa pwedeng maging PR or mas tataasan nila or ng AHPRA ang english requirements. Hindi ko kakayanin ang higher than 7 sa writing,

    Plan ko next yr by august. May intake daw ng august. resignation ko kasi sa work sa september pa effective. So mas maganda talaga opportunity kung 1 yr? Natatakot kasi ako kung bridging lang. Baka after nun hnd makaregister tapos uuwi lang.mas mahirap yata yun.saka hassle ang daming requirement na hinihingi ng ahpra for the assessment

    Huwag mo naman i-"lang" ang bridging program kasi dyan kami naging RN. We may not have funded ourselves for an expensive conversion course pero RN pa rin kami ngayon. Wala din naman assurance na magkakawork ka as RN kung mag 1 year degree ka just like bridging. Baka umuwi ka lang ding luhaan. Maybe you can work as RN pag naregister ka na with your student visa, eh hanggang kailan lang ba valid ang student visa mo? Then kapag nagexpire na iyan, wala kang assurance na ma sponsor ka. Pahirapan na kasi masponsor ngayon. So, in the end babalik ka rin sa Pinas. Walang masama bumalik sa Pinas na maghintay, mas mura sa Pinas mamuhay habang naghihintay kaysa nasa Australia ka nga, wala ka namang trabaho. Di hamak na mas mura ang return ticket.

    At kung hassle sa iyo ang paperwork ng AHPRA which is simple lang naman kung iintindihin. Mas magiging hassle sayo mamuhay sa Australia. At bakit ka naman matatakot na hindi ka maregister after bridging program? Bihira bumabagsak doon. Easy lang bridging program. Personally, wala pa akong first-hand story na bumagsak doon. At kung mag start ka ngayon mag apply sa AHPRA, baka RN ka na next year yung mga possible classmates mo sa UQ, hindi pa nagsisimula sa klase nila OR hindi ka pa nagstart sa UQ mag aral, yung mga nag apply sa AHPRA ay next year RN na or better yet, permanent residents na.

    Just my two cents. Decision mo pa rin iyan in the end.

    hello po, sa mga Filipino Nurses natin na nagapply dito sa Australia, talagang ang only way po ba para magkawork dito as a Nurse is via the Bridging Program?
    Kaso ang mahal po nun di ba? aabutin ng almost 1M yung 6 months na program?

    3 months lang po ang bridging program. May 8 weeks dahil early exit, may 9 weeks dahil early placement, may 10 weeks, may 12 weeks, may 18 weeks. Hindi po aabot ang BP and other expenses ng 1M. Around 600K po siguro kaya na lahat lahat. Mahal pa rin naman.

    Basta bago ka mag apply naplano mo na lahat lahat even the worst that can happen. It's not just a money game, it's a long waiting game.

    Suggestion ko lang eh dapat may 3 years experience ka na PAID sa Pinas in Perioperative, ICU or Cardiac. Iyan ang in demand. Otherwise, siguro 5 years or more kung sa wards. Pero 3 years is good enough for PR application.

    What do you think po sa 1 year bachelor in nursing conversion program? madali po ba maregister sa ahpra after that?

    @Born dont get me wrong. lang kasi mas maigsi. yun friend ko kasi did not have any problem after Ng 1 yr bn sa uq. Madali nakareg siya agad sa ahpra. Considering na hindi mahaba ang experience nya dito sa pinas 1 year lang. Yun lang sa province siya nakakuha ng Work. Marami naman daw magssponsor kung sa province yun lang malayo sa city. hindi na ako magiging mapili just as long may magsponsor. saka iniisip ko din na bachelor ang kunin ko kasi dagdag points sa pagapply ng pr. By the time natapos ko ang bn kung wala changes sa immig then pwede na ko magapply ng pr.

    Kapag nag 1 year bachelor ka kasi, may student registration ka sa AHPRA. And 4-6 weeks before your grad, makapag apply ka na as RN. So waiting time is around 1-2 weeks before maging RN. Unlike bridging, dahil sa kabaliwan ng AHPRA, 4-6 weeks ka maghihintay. Although may kilala ako na 1 week lang naregister na, sa benign na state kasi nag apply.

    When it comes to job? Wala talagang assurance at all either BP or Conversion. True na mas maraming work sa regional areas. Ang edge lang ng conversion ay, naka student visa sila, kahit papaano may work rights. Pero katulad ng sabi ko, until when ba valid ang visa na ito? What if your employer do no sponsor afterwards? Malaki po kasi ang bayad ng ospital pag nag sponsor.

    I doubt you can claim an EXTRA point sa 1 year program for PR. Dapat po 2 years study in Australia para makaclaim ka ng points.

    You can claim 15 points for Qualification which is your Bachelors degree in PH, as any RN from PH can, but NOT the 5 pts for Recognition of Australian study which is, clearly as it says, minimum of 2 years.

    Yes, provided that you can support your claims. In PH RNs case, we can only apply if AU RN already and with ANMAC.

    @peach17 hmm.. kailangan mong mareg sa AHPRA.. daming ways depende sa qualifications mo.. kung studies and exp mo sa US / Canada / Ireland / UK, mas mabilis. kung sa Pinas, assessment ng AHPRA then bridging of around 3 months. otherwise, pwede ka magaral ng full Bachelor of Nursing course na 3 years o less kung may credit transfer.

    Tama! Madaming factors ang kailangan mong intindihin. Katulad na last year. Tumagal ng mahigit na 1 year yung application sa AHPRA para sa bridging kaya minabuti kong mag aral ng Nursing course. Malapit na akong grumaduate sa 1 year Bachelor of Nursing course. At tsaka yung mga nagapply sa AHPRA nung late 2013, this year lang naggrant yung kanilang AHPRA letter para sa bridging. May kasama ako isa na nagbridging halos sabay kami matatapos this year. Pero this year, halos 6 months na lang waiting sa AHPRA. So timbangin mo mga options mo ng maigi.

    at tsaka, let's say mareg kaming dalawa by August/Sept. Hindi yun assurance na magkakasponsor ka o automatic na pwede ka ng tumira dito. Kailangang maghanap ng ibang visa para legal ka habang inaasekaso mo yung PR mo. O pwede mo namang asekasuhin sa Pinas para matipid lalo na kung magvivisitor visa ka na walang work rights.

    Hindi ganun kadaling magapply sa PR as a nurse. Dapat may skills assessment ka ng ANMAC. Yung requirement naman ng ANMAC, registration sa AHPRA. YUng requirement naman ng AHPRA, equivalent skills sa AU Nurse. So, either bridging of PH studies or Bachelor of Nursing studies in Australia.

    @dukesgirl2006 Mabilis lang mareg sa AHPRA post-conversion o post-Bachelor studies. Siguro dagdag siya kung magaaral ka sa regional area, plus 5 points. Pero, kailangang umabot ng 2 years or more yung studies mo.. o 18 months full time study of the 2 year equivalent. Ibig sabihin yung worth ng 2 years or more na studies, dapat pinagaralan mo siya within at least 18 months.

    @valiantboy Salamat. Napadaan ako dati dyan sa Deakin, baho mga buildings, hindi tulad sa Monash, Hahahaha.

    Part ako ng 2014 new scheme ng AHPRA. Sobrang headache iyon kasi nag apply ako sa QLD, thinking na mas mabilis. Eh ang nangyari, lahat dinala sa NSW kaya ang daming pending. Siguro naging lucky na din kasi 6 months mayroon na while yung iba kong kilala ay over a year na. Pero I think mas mabilis na ngayon ang AHPRA kahit papaano. Unfortunately, hindi pa man ako nakaka bridging program. May new scheme na naman sila na to re apply after completion. Gastos na naman, at syempre imbes na 1-2 weeks lang ang process naging 4-6 weeks. At in the middle of bridging program, eto pa, nag require sila na international criminal history check na worth 163$. Gastos uli.

    After bridging, kahit wala pa akong registration. Apply apply na agad ako sa mga jobs online. Less than 200 applications din siguro nagawa ko. Alam kong madami iyan, pero mas marami akong kilala na abot 500 na ginawang apps. Madalas nakakadepress kasi wala ka pang registration, puro rejects pa nakukuha mo. Reasons ay wala akong work rights, hindi ako PR or citizen, wala akong experience sa position na yun, or wala akong experience sa UK, NZ, or SG, etc. Although nirecognise nila ang experience ko sa Pinas, hindi sila nagsponsor.

    Bago ako nag exit sa AU na arrange ako for interviews. Isa sa nursing home at isa sa ospital. Di pumayag yung nursing home sa online interview. Yung ospital buti pumayag. Mahirap ang interview nila at mahaba. Ayon, naka jackpot ako!

    @bytubytu Pabago-bago sila ng requirements ah. Ano ba yung international crim check? Hindi ba pwedeng NBI clearance lang? Kasi magaapply rin ako niyan before ako grumaduate eh. Isa yan sa mga requirements ng AHPRA.

    I think maswerte ka at malamang nasatisfy mo yung requirements ng CO mo kaya mas lalong napabilis. At tsaka mabait yung CO mo.. hahaha!

    Magiisang buwan ka pala naghanap ng work. Whew. Yan na yung susunod na stage ko pagkatapos ng 5-week placement sa July-August. Hopefully makakahanap ako ng sponsor. Kasi kung magaapply ako as student tapos after a few months as PR pagkatapos ko makuha yung ANMAC, ang laki ng gastos nun..

    Yung employer na nahanap mo, walk-in application ba yan o sa online application thru SEEK, etc? Ilang years pala experience mo sa atin.

    @bytubytu Wag mong lalaitin school namin! hahahaha Hindi pa ako nakarating sa Monash Clayton, pero isa lang masasabi ko, mas maganda yung Melbourne Uni at RMIT sa city.

    Pero totoo nga, hindi ko alam san napupunta mga funds galing sa international students. Dami pa namang Intsik at Indian sa ibang course tulad ng Business at Management. Mas maganda yung campus nila sa Geelong at Waurn Ponds.

    Typo error lang. Haha. Lagi akong nadadaan sa Melbourne Uni pero di ko pa napasok. Yung RMIT sa city maganda nga. Yung Monash naman madami ding impressive new buildings. Di ko lang feel yung old school buildings nila, hindi classy.

    Around 5 years in total. Puro online apps ako mostly seek.com. Yung CO ko noong una mabait, yung re app naman. Deadma palagi. OC OC pa. Kaya tumagal.

    Hanap ka muna ng sponsor then roll mo na ANMAC mo. I am sure mas mabilis registration ninyo kasi pwede kang mag apply before your graduation, diba? Yung Fit2Work check sa AU siya, tapos ichecheck nila mga countries na tinirihan mo for more than 6 months. Since PH at AU ka tumira, 2 checks ka. Doble bayad.

    If sponsorship fails, atleast ready ka na for PR.
