    @KevinDavidson thank you po sa tips Sir Kevin
    as of now nagselfreview muna ako sa PTE :)
    Pag ok ung scores ko APHRA na at maghahanap aq ng affordable na school heheh.. In God's will nawa one take lng sa PTE, to be honest hindi talaga aq magaling sa English kaya double effort aq sa pagreview ngyon. Hoping to be a part of batch 2018 IRON graduates! God bless po Sir!

    @cookoy as I understand po, may mga schools po n 3 months pa din sa 2018, depende ata sa approval end date. for example ang IHNA hanggang nov 2017 na lang sila kaya waiting pa kung magiging 6 months na talaga sila by next year. ang ETEA at Lonsdale til feb 2018, kaya wala pa din kasiguruhan sa bridging program nila for 2018. you can check po dito ang approved programs of study: ahpra.gov.au/Education/Approved-Programs-of-Study.aspx?ref=Nurse&Type=Bridging&div=Registered%20Nurse%20%28Division%201%29

    @GoldSeeker start as agency nurse or casual/bank nurse sa hospital. tas pa bibo ka sa mga manager. i only had 2 yrs volunteer exp sa ph. yun lng tangi kong exp. i applied for casual instead of permanent kasi mas may chance ma hire ang casual. tas kuha k madami shift sa wards and pa bibo ka sa mga unit manager. tas ayun after couple of months, inabsorb ako as permanent.

    @GoldSeeker dati student visa ako, so mas mhirap tlga kasi nghhnap cla ng full work rights. But currently nka bridging visa A ako. Belmore usually accepts new RNs kahit wla experience onshore. Sa hospitals, dpende sa manager kung open for recently registered nurses.

    @yanskie06 Hi, depende yan sa overseas experience mo. Kung may experience ka sa mga specialty areas like OR, ER etc then mas malaki chance mo. Siyempre depende rin kung paano mo ipipresent sarili mo sa interview. Sa mga regional areas may mga nagsponsor rin. I think ang minimum yrs na tinitignan nila for sponsorship is 3yrs hospital experience.You can check Ramsay Health, nagsponsor sila. I’m pretty sure marami pang agencies, you’ll get to know it once you’re here.

    @lizzzie dpende if your visa allows you to work. if your employer is willing to sponsor a working visa, then once that visa is approved, pwede k mg work. otherwise, if you are on a business visa for BP, not allowed to work yan. yun iba ng enrol cla another course pra mkakauha ng student visa. 40hours/fortnight
