FOR EVERYONE WHO TOOK BS Nursing COURSE IN ANY UNI...
Hi. I just have few questions...

Can anyone please give me some ideas about the course?
Im going for this course instead the bridging one as i my IELTS results are...
(LISTENING 8.5, READING 8.5, SPEAKING 7, WRITING 6.5)
Anyway, does it lead to nursing registration similar to bridging courses? I mean are there any exams to be taken right after it? or you can register directly to AHPRA once completed? is there still a need to retake my IELTS?
Your response would be much appreciated. Thank you!

    I dunno kung same tayo ng course, pero Bachelor of Nursing course namin sa Deakin. As long as hindi siya yung Bridging / Initial Registration for Nurses (IRON) / Overseas Qualified Nurses Program, I'm pretty sure yung course na yan will lead to AHPRA registration.

    So yung labas mo tinapos mo talaga yung Bachelor of Nursing at in effect magreregister ka as international graduate of an Australian Uni. No board exams sa AU.

    As for IELTS, kanya-kanya yung mga requirements ng schools. Pag hindi ka umabot sa standard na gusto nila, ipapa ELICOS ka nila o English classes. Pero, I am sure na kailangan mong magtake ng ibang IELTS or ibang English tests kasi yung requirements ng AHPRA, all 7 across 2 exams within 6 months.

    22/03/14 Online application (with regrets--dapat nagagent!)
    26/06/14 Offer letter received

    @valiantboy hello! thanks for your response!
    Yes same, BS Nursing din yung course na I'm taking sa Deakin. So you've taken it last year.. have you obtained your license already or about palang? How was the course modules for you naman po? may clinical placements din po ba? Atleast now naenlighten ako, i'm still on the process pa kasi. thanks so much!

    About pa lang. Mid year intake ako last year July. Okay naman yung units. 3 units (subjects) per year worth 4 credit points (units). Hmm.. 4-5 months yung official semester nila pero yung actual teaching periods per unit 2 hours x 6-9 weeks. Katulad ng ibang unis may 1 week intrasemester break. Tapos 1-2 weeks before exams to revise (review). Tapos 2 weeks official exam period. Last sem 4-week placement namin before exams. This sem yung final 5-week placment namin after exams.

    Yung mahirap lang pagdating sa mga assessments, may subjects 2 essays (40 & 60%), yung mga major nursing subjects online tests, skills (return demo) or exam hurdles na pass to continue, at may 2-hour exam. Yung ibang schools parang iba ng konti, merong written exams sa meetings, parang quizzes.

    Pag maganda makuha mong sched pwedeng as little as 1 day pero pwedeng umabot ng 3 days tapos paminsan gabi yung sched 4-6pm. Gabi na yun pag winter.. Haha

    With regards sa subjects, it depends pero yung nursing management and interventions (ncm) more on general med surg.. Pag 2 years yung course mo.. Possible yata na may paeds, periop, community o geria.

    Btw, you'll notice na malaki sila sa self-directed learning pag undergrad ka at hindi ka tech voc. Ibig sabihin yung mga classes nila more on tutorials lang.. Kung anong questions mo o kung gusto mo ng drills yun na lang dinidiscuss. Inaassume at ineexpect nila na binasa mo na yung chapters.

    So far okay naman. Nakakacope. Meron akong classmates na Pinoy nakaka High Distinction, ibig sabihin yung grade nila 80 or above out of 100.

    Hmm.. Nung time namin kasi, end-2013 to mid-2014 nagbago yung law at yung process kaya natagalan yung processing sa AHPRA before bridging. Umabot 1 year sa iba..

    Madami namang pathways to get to permanent residency. At the moment hindi pa tapos yung studies ko eh, magpeplacement pa kami. Maeexpire yung visa, pero by that time registered na ako. Plan A working visa, plan b student o plan c visitor visa. I can't say for sure.

    Working Visa pathway is initially on 457 Visa which is my current visa after registration. You need to be sponsored and nominated for this by an employer. Difficult one. After some time, the employer can sponsor you for PR.

    @dream88 if conversion course 1 year ang kunin mo sa Deakin, AHPRA rego is after the course duration. if you're taking the IRON course na 3 months, you have to be assessed by AHPRA if you're eligible to take that pathway. after taking that pathway, you will again register formally to AHPRA (as well as ANMAC) as an RN
