-this Oct sana alis ko- in God's will. pero di ata ako qualified sa bridging kasi last exp ko as a nurse was last Nov 2010 pa. 1yr and 10months lang. last 5 yrs pa yun.
-student visa kunin ko, pero nagdadalawang isip ako if marketing or age care course kukunin ko - sa marketing kasi mga 150-170k lang budget makakalabas na, pero sa age care mga 230-250k ata. medyo nalilito pa ako kung sang path kukunin ko.
-any advice kymme???

and dun sa brdiging, sabi nila, at least 2 years exp dw.
for me, mas mganda pg aged care or disability kunin pra un experience mo dun as carer, bka ma count un as experience. un ang gnwa ng mga kakilala ko.
but in the end, ikw pa rin mg decide kung ano gusto mo. make sure it makes u happy

Medyo malaking gamble yung wala kang initial funds tapos tingin mo makakahahanap ng work within the first 3-6 months. Kung hindi ka magtiyatiyaga within the first 3-6 months usually hindi lalapit yung work sa iyo.
I'm not discouraging you pero meron talagang nagco-course to course. Paminsan yun feeling ko sapat lang yung inipon para sa next tuition at student visa application. Meron din naman na nakakayanan from aged care to enrolled nursing to registered nurse. O from aged care straight to nursing.
Make sure you factor in work, expenses, nursing requirements and visas para sa goal mo.

RN ka na which is mas may convenient options ka. Kung marketing ka then mag shift back ka muli ka sa nursing, ang laking oras at pera ang sinayang mo, di ba? Kung mag Cert 3 or 4 ka, parang ganun din nasayang mong oras at pera.
Marami akong kilalang nag Cert 3/4, ang laking sisi nila kasi may mga paraan naman para maging RN sila agad. Ang laking hinayang nilang nakinig sila sa mga agencies na iyan.

Pwede ko po mag bridging. Just so you know, accepted ng AHPRA ang volunteer so long as it says that you work as a "registered nurse". Even if you read AHPRA back and forth, walang terms doon na kailangan paid ka nag work. Paid experience matters with DIBP not AHPRA.
I would highly recommend that you take bridging or conversion course.
