    What do you mean? University of Western Sydney? Sa Campbelltown located yan sis.. Mga 1 hour travel from Sydney CBD. Yes sis pwede ka mag part time as assistant in nursing dahil may experience ka naman and nag-aaral ka sa university. Tiyak may mag ha-hire sayo..

    @janinlee san school ka nga po mam? sa univ of sydney nakita ko nag range sa 20k to 30k+ tuition nila. sa city ba po banda ung campbell NSW? so pwede mag part time po ng nursing job kahit di pa po nila certified na RN dyan sa aus?

    @meechan_rn BN stands for Bachelor of Nursing. Depende kung saang uni ka mag eenrol ang ibang university 3 years ang BN course even if RN kana sa pinas. Sa university of Wollongong may Bachelor of Nursing for Overseas Qualified Nurses sila, this course is designed for all foreign RNs to become RN in Aussie, 2 years po yong course sis kahit wala kang experience pasok ka sa banga.. pero medyo malayo ang Wollongong sa Sydney kung sa Sydney nakatira mga relatives mo.. Sa Australian Catholic University naman nasa Sydney CBD ata yan pero dapat 7 all ang band mo sa IELTS..
    @amedina bale ilang years po ang study mo mam? and anu pong visa mo? and anu pong BN mo mam? undergrad, grad entry or advance po?

    @janinlee thanks po mam sa mga response. sa Campbell, NSW po sila nakatira. pinaka malapit na univ na nakita ko is University of Western Sydney, nakita ko nga din ung Wollongong, may kalayuan ka sa campbell, though mas mura din fee nila kesa sa western sydney. ung Univ of Sydney naman po mas malayo sa pala un sa tita ko, kaya mukhang aalisin ko sa sa option ko un. ACU naman, mas malapit lang ng unti sa wollongong.

    @janinlee Sa univ of newcastle ako. Dito kasi nakatira relatives ko kaya no choice but to stay here to study. Ako ang tagal bago nakakuwa ng work kasi tinapos ko muna 1st yr kasi equiv to cert III then pede na sa nsg home. I think mag IELTS ako kasi mas familiar ako dun kesa OET, saka cheaper din. Lapit ka na matapos! Kaya yan. Ako 1yr pa. :)

    11/17/12: passed school application thru IDP * 12/4/12: received letter of offer (univ. of newcastle) * 12/12/12: credit application * 2/22/13: received new letter of offer * 2/26/13: paid deposit fee * 3/8/13: received COE and paid visa fee * 4/10/13: visa application thru IDP * 4/11/13: medical request from DIAC * 4/12/13: medical exam done * 4/19/13: SLEC uploaded my medicals * 4/12/13: medical exam done * 7/11/13: VISA GRANTED

    Hi.Pa help po.Na required for further documents po ako.
    Hiningan po ako ng transcrits, employment cert at bank cert. The bank cert dalawa, BDO with 10k USD (equivalent to 12500 AUD) and 1.2 M pesos sa PNB, all under my name.Ang na mention po ay ang BDO lang po.Walang sinabi na hindi valid ang 1.2 M na PNB.
    In addition po, alam ko na send ko po yung transcripts at certificates. Triple checked po before binigay sa VFS agent.Confirmed too by the VFS na nasa pouch lahat documents.
    Also, pina pa sign po ako ng HEALTH UNDERTAKING or form 815.
    I am so confused..huhuh..please tulong...

    @miss_sheng Makikita sa taxes kapag nag exceed ng 40hrs/forthnight. And meron din random check ang DIAC. And be mindful of people who knows that we are on temporary visa kasi may nag-dubb minsan. I have one workmate, she's also studying then she exceeded 10hrs more, nakalusot sya for a while pero nag random check DIAC, she was called then deported for breaching the visa's condition. We just have to be careful, we dont know what will happen. :)

    Yes, you need to take IELTS again for you to get registered in APHRA.. OET is another option which is a bit easier than IELTS..

    @janinlee She is also studying in uni (BN) pero nag start sya sa TAFE (cert 3&4). Ilang beses sya nag aral (student visa) kasi ayaw nya umuwi pag na expire visa. Ang laking gastos. Then for a few months, palagi sya nag e-exceed ng 10-15 hrs per fortnight- work in aged care then odd jobs. Then one time, nakatanggap na lang sya ng tawag from DIAC asking about her work hrs. I dunno what happen next pero nabalitaan na lang nila na she's going home. So ayun, ingat na lang. I hav friends here na nag e-exceed ng few hrs- 2-5 hrs pero oks lang so far. Wag lang siguro parati, I dunno. :)

    Minsan din kasi mga employer alam naman nila na limited work hours lang meron ang mga employees holding student visa tinatawagan pa rin nila lalo na kung short staffed.
