    @syaoran Hello, Congrats on your LOE. Maybe try to look for other schools offering BP and kung sila lang talaga ang meron for those dates na you want then you have to wait. While waiting, prepare your documents for the Visa application para kapag okay na smooth na yung pagaaply mo. Nakalagay sa website nila na TBA pa yung for next year so I guess you really have to wait.

    hi po, as per my nursing friend na mageetea this march 2018, nagemail daw si etea sa agency namin that they are postponing app ng mga students for intakes na after jan2018. you might want to check that one kasi may isa pa ako friend okay naman siya for feb commencement daw or check with the agent too gudluck!

    @Cassey thank you po. well my next option is Monash (late May intake) and Deakin (early June). ung isang concern ko is my deadline for registration set by AHPRA is October first week 2018. Will I have enough time to register if I will enrol in Deakin? Yung Monash kase when I read their BP description, the lectures are all online and after that diretso na duty. yoko naman ng online course lng. at kinabahan ako sa sabi ni @IntApp

    @syaoran I think you’ll have enough time to register if you go with Deakin, since 3mos lang naman ang bridging and usually yung AHPRA registration takes a month depende rin kung gaano kabilis/kabagal isubmit ng Uni yung papers mo.

    @sunshineee28 you better have your blood tested if you are still immune or gumagana pa yung mga immunizations mo dati kunwari hepatitis you need to pass yung titer mo and etc. kasi they are going to need evidence hindi pwedeng certification lang or better yet magpabooster ka kung gusto mo.

    di din ako masyado familiar kung pano process ng nurses but im sure si agent na bahala sa kanila naman. ksi dapat sabay kami na Nov intake then nagpamove siya to next year tapos may shinare daw si school nia sa kanya so they have to wait again for intakes after jan2018 ayun

    @czha mahal tuition ng nursing. eto mapapayo ko if mag BP ka be sure you have a good score when it comes to the PR points din. Around 65 points kasi sobrang hirap na mainvite ngayon pati sa state nomination ganun na din. Sa employer naman swertihan din para makakuha.
