@mariabelle as far as i know, mas maganda if pagong pumasa ng board exam, mas mabuti mag experience muna, wag magmadali kasi competitive po yung nursing at getting a job is also tight. THE BETTER and more the experience the, the chance of getting a job is quite good. 3-4 years is safe, 5-8 years the better. less than 2 years, mukhang mahirap, but lets just say meron din pinapalad na makakuha ng work na less than 2 yrs exp. Also, dapat mag IELTS or OET na xa po... dapat pumasa na xa either dyan.

What can you say @Cassey ? Bridging program i have no idea. I think its all in the forum po. search mo lang.

jwillboi · July 2016

@Cassey Wow grabeh ha half of the class bumagsak! nakaka hinayang naman.. tsk3x.. Ano ba nman yung ginagawa nila at bagit pa sila bumagsak.... or mahigpit na ba talaga yung nursing sa Australia? ~X(

@mariabelle Kailangan muna po ng letter from AHPRA dun po malalaman kung Bridging or 1 year Conversion course. sa case po ng pamangkin nyo malamang conversion course. meron ako dito nabasa nag enroll sa school tapos accepted as transferee but less than two years yung length ng study pero di na nga ahpra. well, after ng course kailangan ng ahpra.

Cassey · July 2016

@mariabelle Hello, hindi po siya pwede for the bridging program kasi wala siyang experience.. Pwede siya siguro nung conversion course. Merong schools na 1 year lang, meron din yung 2 years. Depende sa school na pageenrolan niya. Yung kakilala namin na walang experience hindi kaagad nakapagapply for ahpra (registration ng nursing) kasi requirement dun ang experience so ang pinagawa sa kanya pinagvolunteer siya for him to be elligible for registration. Kung hospital ang target niya, medyo mahihirapan siyang makahanap ng work kasi they look for experienced workers.. Marami namang pwedeng pagapplyan basta masigasig lang siya baka maswertehan din niya.

Kung 2 years yung kukuhanin niya, he can apply for 485 visa to extend but if its just a 1 yr course then he's not elligible for that visa. He can apply again for another student visa to extend which most of overseas nurses do. It takes 3-5months to accomplish the ahpra registration and the skills assessment for anmac which are requirements for PR Visa application.

@jwillboi Oo dami ano... I think around $8500 yung binayaran nung mga bumagsak to repeat the subject/s... Some of them inuna ang pamamasyal... and some nahirapan sa essay which is a big part of their assessment.. Yung essay dapat may citation sila na Harvard refencing ang finafollow.. Yun siguro yung pinakachallenge... Tska may mga teachers na nambabagsak talaga parang sa atin din,hehe

jwillboi · July 2016

@Cassey grabeh 8500..mahal nga! tapos hindi priority cguru yung Study sa nursing nila, inu-una yung pamamasyal... ts3x... dapat balance lang sana... i see meron palang assessment essay kayu sa bridging program, is that part of the IELTS or OET? hehe anyways, hindi ba yan sapat na kapag pumasa kana sa IELTS or OET, eh ok na lahat? kasi meron pa kasing essay part sa assessment eh.. hehe

Alam ko na mahihirapan talaga yung mag take ng either IELTS or OET sa writting portion, marami talagang bumabagsak sa dyan na part...

Cassey · July 2016

Hi @jwillboi, Hindi siya part ng IELTS/OET,hehe. Madali yung IELTS/OET writing kumpara sa assessment nila..
Yung assessment na yun mismong sa subject nila.. May topic and series of questions. Talagang magrereseach ka at yung answers mo dapat may source like books/journals/publications.. Hindi pwedeng subjective kaya marami ring bumabagsak..

mariabelle · July 2016

@Electrical_Engr_CDR thanks for the info

mariabelle · July 2016

@jwillboi @Cassey ganon??do you have an idea kung magkano ang magagastos??sa conversion

mariabelle · July 2016

@Cassey did you have an experience before going there??

jwillboi · July 2016

@Cassey oh well now i see... ganyan pala yung pamamaraan cguru ng Nursing nila at baka nag adjust pa cguru yung mga new students sa culture ng pagtuturo or something... or baka lang cguru bumagsak lang talaga kasi wla talagang alam... daming factors kasi yan eh..

Cassey · July 2016

@mariabelle 1 yr conversion course po is around $30thou AUD. Yes po, 3yrs experience.

Cassey · July 2016

@jwillboi ang kagandahan naman eh walang board exam hehe

jwillboi · July 2016

@Cassey kaya nga thats a big plus... pero actually i think tinetest nila yung capability ng students kong mka adopt sila sa english (australian accent), skills, at pamamaraan ng school na ibinibigay sa kanila... The pressure is there...

iamyourangel08 · July 2016

hello @Electrical_Engr_CDR ..pwede po malaman san nagbridging si wifey mo and how much ang binayaran?my discount din ba for Pr? thanks..

Electrical_Engr_CDR · July 2016

@iamyourangel08 sa monash sya. di kami pinayagan mag Commonwealth support or fee help. i know deakin accepts fee help for bridging but it would take us longer to finish so we went to monash.

Jiraya · March 2017

Ask ko lang po meron na ako PR visa...pero wala ako ielts or any english test. RN ako sa Phils with 2 years experience as volunteer nurse. Ano kaya maganda gawin para mapractice ko nursing dito sa Au? Thanks, sana mapansin hehe tagal na pala thread nato

jwillboi · March 2017

Chances are Age care? that i am not sure. Yung problem kasi its a volunteer job. Do you have an AHPRA (registration in Australia as a Nurse)? without thta one then you cannot do the job.

Jiraya · March 2017

Thank you jwillboi...I dont have an AHPRA yet...as per Cassey, i think I need to inquire to Deakin uni if I can take a conversion course. Best regards

jwillboi · April 2017

All the best mate. Cheers!

rjandtin10 · October 2017

Hello goodmorning, ask ko lng po sa mga nurses working in Melbourne if meron bang penalty rates ung evening and overnight shifts? Im trying to read the Victorian Nurses Collective Agreement and hindi sakin clear if meron penalty rates. Thanks for the advice. Cheers!

Cassey · October 2017

@rjandtin10 I’m not sure kung pare pareho pero yung sa hubby ko allowance yung binibigay kapag regular pm shift. Ang may penalty rates pagka weekend shifts.

reena_june24 · October 2017

@Cassey what are the requirements for the conversion course po?

Cassey · October 2017

@reena_june24 For the conversion course, you can check the University requirements and that’s it. You’ll need the other documents once you finish your course for the registration here in Au.
If you are in the Phils, you can make an appointment with AECC or IDP. Their services are free.
For all other requirements, you can check this link:

Thanks Cassie for the info

drnc_13 · May 2018

Hi po! I’m about to take BP this July po sa IHNA Perth. question ko is can I start sending my CVs and cover letter na po to any agency as early as now? or they require australian phone number so wag muna? Thanks po sa sasagot

Cassey · May 2018

@drnc_13 Huwag na muna, kapag malapit ka ng matapos sa BP pwede ka ng magtry. Mostly ng mga employers, they don’t entertain applicants na hindi pa Registered sa AHPRA but if they’re in dire need of Nurses they might consider your application especially kapag malapit ka ng matapos sa BP o di kaya nagaantay na ng registration.
