1 year conversion program VS 2 year Bachelor of Nursing degree

yukio0525

Hi guys, i'm helping my friend out. He was offered a 2yr Bachelor of nursing degree. can you please share the pros and cons of taking the 2yr program over conversion? Thanks

Hi, just simply look at it this way. The shorter the course duration, the sooner it is for him/her to apply for PR. Immigration rules are not permanent and so as the AHPRA and ANMAC policies. The sooner that he/she can get a Permanent Visa, the better. If I may add as well, they will soon be introducing 2 exams for internationally qualified nurses for registration here in Au.

Hi Ms @Cassey ask ko lang din po if how many points for 189 or 190 visa ang 1 year conversion program thanks po

Cassey

@velvetcake1214 Points in what category? Is it Australian Educational Qualification? If it’s just one year, then you can’t get the 5 points for it.

Hello po @Cassey! Dun po sa category na qualification lang. papasok po ang 1 year conversion program sa An award or qualification the relevant assessing authority for your nominated skilled occupation recognises which is 10 points?

Cassey

@velvetcake1214 If you’re referring to “Qualifications” , it’s a recognised Bachelor’s Degree and you will get 15 points for that.

AHPRA hasn’t released the specifics yet. The test is patterned to the UK’s OSCE but based of course on Australia’s Nursing practice.
