    Hi Maam @Cassey ! I have a question. I am a graduate of Diploma in Practical Nursing here in the Phil. I am really confused whether I should try to apply for registration as an Enrolled nurse in Oz (It may be a waste of time and effort) or should I study Diploma in Nursing? Can you give me an advice po during your spare time if possible? Also do they credit subjects from our Transcripts? Thank you so much.

    @margarettepaglinawan It seems that AHPRA does not recognize internationally quafied Enrolled Nurses... there's no bridging program for that and the recognized degrees are on the average 18-24 month program of Australian institutions. As such, you will need to enrol in one of those approved courses inorder to qualify for registration. As to whether some of your subjects can be credited, that is a prerogative of the school/uni you will be enrolling in.

    @margarettepaglinawan Hi, i think you might need to study here if you want to become an Enrolled Nurse. You can ask your school of choice if they can credit your subjects. It really depends on their curriculum.

    @misskj I called their number for International Students +61 96274877 and that’s what I was told. It’s full already even for the June intake. If you check their website, it says closed as well.

    You can check their website from time to time but have a Plan B especially that the new assessment will be rolled out next year.

    All we know is AHPRA will continue to assess international nurses using the current guidelines til early next year. I am wondering what will happen to us nurses who have/will have a valid LOE but no available school intakes for BP next year.

    Im just doing a research on how to work and migrate in australia. I'm an educ graduate with 7 seven years teaching experience but now working as a library staff, my husband is an RN but did not have any experience at all, nagwork kasi sya agad sa sales and now working in the office as a finance secretary.,
    Question ko lang po., sinu po kaya saming dalawa ang mas may chance maapprove for student visa?
    nagbasa po ako sa thread n to about bridging program for nurses pero hindi po yata pwede husband ko dun dahil wala sya experience.. tama po ba? sana po may makatulong po samin.. salamat po.

    @amypilapil

    Hi, I can only speak with regards to RN profession. Definitely may chance to migrate however it may be hard since wala siyang experience. Migration is based on points system. You need to at least have 65 points which nowadays isn’t enough to get you invited to apply for PR. If you want to estimate your points, there’s a points calculator here in the forum.
    Since he doesn’t have an experience, he needs to do a Conversion program and not a BP. This is a 1-2 year course depending on the school.
    Both of you can definitely apply for SV but you have to see who has a higher chances of applying for PR so as not to waste time. There’s a thread here in the forum about Filo Teachers practicing in Au, you might wanna check on that as well.

    @amypilapil Kung may valid visa siya to stay after nung course, then pwede siyang magwork dito as a Nurse. For work sponsorship, kinukuha nila yung may at least 3yrs na hospital experience.

    Once na matapos na siya, need niyang magregister as RN tapos magpaskills assesment sa ANMAC. After that kapag may enough points na, apply kayo ng skill select then antay sa invitation to apply for PR. Ang pinakachallenge nga lang is how you’ll be able to stay here in Au after the course to do all these. You might need to apply for another SV or go back to Ph.
