@ilovemichie for UniSA? Goodluck sayo and Godbless

jkk32w · December 2018

@ilovemichie hello po! im asking in behalf of my sister.

Shes also trying to applying for BP early 2019 and unfortunately prang UniSA nlg din ang last chance nia. The website required an agency to process the application- ive contacted AECC here in Melbourne. I was told UniSA requires the last2yrs to be hosp exp but well try nlng dw.

nka agency din po kau? and is currently working in a hosp?

Were so worried napaka slim ng options for BP next year. nka closed na lahat kc ung intakes. my sister just got her referal letter nitong monday lang.

thanks for ur time! Hope to hear from you or any one here in this page.

@jkk32w Hi po! I am with an agency and tumulong sila with giving the list of schools offering BP. But i did everything on my own, mula paggather ng reqts to scanning them to sending them to all the schools na open pa at that time.

Based sa website nila "A minimum of 2 years work experience with 12 months recent practice (within the last 2 years) as a Registered Nurse in country of practice, evidenced by a certified employment statement dated in the last 6 months". I am not really sure if dapat hospital-based kasi kanya-kanyang reqts each school e. I am currently working pa din po.

I received emails from Unis na inapplyan ko nung October saying all 2019 intakes are full and this will be the last year they will implement their BP to give way to the new program. Even our agency required all of us to send pdfs of all reqts para if mag open na ang schools ng new program they will immediately send them, giving priority sa mga mag eexpire na na LOEs. Kasi accdg to my educ agent for UniSA, merong mag eexpire this June pero wala pa ring school, which is heartbreaking!

But try nyo pa rin, Feb and September intakes are still open but very limited daw. She can still try, who knows db?

Hello! I see that some are considering UNISA by AECC global. Yan din sinuggest sakin. Pinag iisipan ko kasi ang layo tapos wala ako kilala sa Adelaide. Anyone here engaged in AECC?

jkk32w · December 2018

@ilovemichie helloo!! mraming salamat sa pag take time to reply.

were with aecc sa melbourne office kc im based in melbourne and kilala ko kc agency na yan kaya dumeretso narin ako sa kanila and the agents are mostly pinoys so its a relief na ung nag aasist sau is pinoi. i spoke to them yest and un nga sabi nila pro well try dw hope ma consider na indi hosp.

my sis has 8.5 hosp exp sa hosp then 3yrs sa clinic whch is the current work. sana ma consider din sia with you

wla na kami tinitingnan na distance eh. tho mas mkakatipid nman sia if shes n victoria kc andito ako wla namn tlaga choice eh. need lg tlaga itawid tong challenge ng bridging.

kakainis ang aphra kc i cud see that they probbaly really delayed the process prang useless na nga mga loe ng mga applicants ngaun nkakawala ng hope kc lahat ng schools closed. i also work for a government uni here in victoria and ang dami pa namin holidays /breaks so mas lalo nkaka delay ng process and it results to bottleneck of applicants lg tlaga. sana inayos muna ng aphra ung accreditation na bago noh, kc ung mga schools na tinatawagn ko as much as they want to accept applicants wla sila magawa kc wla dw sila renewed rights. haaay heartbreaking tlaga.

sana sa january UniSa can give us good news.
if that happens d drive ko nlg ang SA once a mnth pra bisitahin c sis.

did ur agency mentioned pala na feb ang start ng class?

pmac · December 2018

@jkk32w Hello! I have seen your reply about aecc and Unisa. Wala na ba talaga school offering bridging? Last Dec 19 ko lang kasi na receive LOE ko. Di ko pa naabutan yung Monash. Yung friend ko naka register pa sa Monash under AECC, Feb intake sya. And now inooffer sakin ng AECC is UniSa lang talaga. Any thoughts about this? Thank you.

ilovemichie · December 2018

@jkk32w Hello! I checked lang po ung website nila and the 2019 intakes. Two intakes lang sila per year which are Feb and September. Yan din ang sabi nila sa email ng uni skin. D lang ako sure mam, pero may nakasabi na open pa daw for BP ung ACN. But I did not apply there kasi nagbase lang din ako sa list na binigay ng agency. Parang gusto ko nga rin ding mag apply as plan B hehe!

oIp · December 2018

@pmac sino friend mo na mag monash feb intake? Ano group sya?

jkk32w · December 2018

@pmac hello! nka ilang inquiry narin kami sept palang..wla na tlaga eh, nka hold lahat dahil sa licensing na yan ng educators haaay during sep may konting open pa un pro tagal kc ng LOE..:(

jkk32w · December 2018

@ilovemichie sayang tlaga noh. yung deakin open pa ung term2 (may intake nila) when i asked them early december. wla na tlaga..i think mrami mag ask ng extension. wla din choice eh. alangan nman thank you nlng ung effort nio all this time to obtain an LOE. ive asked my sister to prepare for CQU term2 nlng din in fairness mura sia for a 6months course. ive been to queensland a couple of times and its actually a state i prefer for my sister if she was not to stay wd me during BP.. wish ko lg mag reply agad ang aphra for extension request. else puntahan konlng ung melbourne office nila dito..hopeless din usually sa phone. generic lng answers. indi healthy sa mga umaasa

ilovemichie · December 2018

@jkk32w Yung deakin response skin full na daw all intakes nila, to inform nlng daw if may changes sa lineup. Pero from there hindi na rin ako umasa and talagang inapplyan ko lahat ng schools na covered ng agency. I think naka 6 ako? Haha! But out of the 6, 2 lang nagbigay ng offer, 3 ung full na and 1 no response kahit sa ffup. Ok dn sana ung CQU if not lang sa vaccines ko. Dko na rin mhintay ang next intake kasi gusto ko mgstart early and baka midway magchange cla ng policies.

Akijo · January 2019

parang nakakawala ng pag asa haha last dec. 27 pa lang akp ni contact ng ro ko and nag ask sila ng extension sa timeframe ng application ko until april 21 this year. Ewan ko kung ano magiging kalalabasan neto. Prayers na lang na sana maging okay.

pmac · January 2019

@jkk32w Hello, yun nga prob ko now dahil sa delayed na LOE. Wala na school. Even UniSa sept na next intake

Di ko alam now pano na gagawin. Naka indicate pa naman sa LOE ko dapat bago matpos yung eligible date dapat tapos ko na bridging. So kung 6 Months na bridging edi dapat May nag aaral na ko. Hay

pmac · January 2019

@oIp I don't know if I can mention her name pero pang Feb intake sya. Naabutan pa niya ang Monash. Oct sya na interview. Lucky nya.

oIp · January 2019

@pmac feb intake din kasi ako. :-)

skinnyjoyce · January 2019

@cucci hi ask lang what if i have positive serology test for MMR and varicella. Need ko pa po magpa vaccine? Nagpaserology na kasi ako last dec turned out positive naman lahat.

galauraja · January 2019

Hello good day. May nag iisip na po ba ng pan B dito? What arw those plans you might have in mind?

pmac · January 2019

@oIp lucky mo naabutan mo din ang Monash.

Good luck

ilovemichie · January 2019

@pmac hello! Pwede nyo po mashare yung updates regarfing sa new program ng ahpra for nurses? Like if ano ung format nya and how long? Kasi meron akong pending sa unisa but september pa. And sa email ng monash july 2019 cla magiimplement pero pending approval pa din. At least sna if july mas maaga ng konti pero baka mas mahirap naman. Bka my balita kayo from AU friends ninyo

butterfly · January 2019

wala pa talagang exact info...still waiting pa

jkk32w · January 2019

@ilovemichie hello! aphra gave an extension of my sisters LOE until feb 14 2020 and have stipulated no further extension will be granted. gdluck nlng kelangan tlaga mkpag bridging ds year. haaay

babypanda · January 2019

@jkk32w hi! Does your sisters had offer letter from schools? I tried asking AHPRA for an extension last Nov 2018 but they declined since I don’t have coe/offer letter. Thanks!

jkk32w · January 2019

@babypanda hello wlapa offer

but we mentioned CQU was willing to take her if her LOE was valid until jan 2020, yan kc email nila na i make sure lg dw loe is valid til jan 2020. may extension nga pro wla nman school same issue haay! unisa has posted in their website that sep 2019 intake is also closed already. haaay

babypanda · January 2019

@jkk32w thanks for the response! Pero atleast nagbigay sila ng extension. Anyway, try ko na lang ulit. E-mail thru RO po or nag call kayo directly? Yes. Kaka receive ko lang din ng email from unisa na di umabot application ko

But still hoping na may open sa Victoria.

pmac · January 2019

@ilovemichie Hello! I did reply from the other post you've made. Actually undetermined pa talaga ano new format ng bridging and how they will implement the CBT and OSCE, until further notice pa sila. Pero this early 2019 for revision na talaga kaya wala schools daw talaga na open and accdg sa friend ko nasa AU now aalisin daw talaga bridging. Di ko din sure talaga, kasi parang impossible, pano na mga schools. Pero if ever na parang sa UK mas mainam yun di na tayo gagastos for bridging. Kaso pano tayong may LOE na.

Btw, under what agency ka for Unisa? yun din inooffer sakin kaso ang oa naman sa tagal, Sept pa.

pmac · January 2019

@jkk32w Hello! How about CQU pala? Di ko tinuloy sakin sa CQU kasi baka di ako umabot this March intake.

jkk32w · January 2019

@pmac mag aaply palng sis ko for cqu kc feb pa sila mag start accept ng application for the july-jan intake. im sure ang haba ng queue nt sure how theyll select the right candidates sa dami ng applicants:( d rumor about aalisin na ang bridging might b true.. maybe the format will be different where EPiQ has been introduced in some schools. in the immigration occ ceiling website they need 14k nurses and so far wla pang 500 nkpag apply for visa 189. hopefuly theyre going to do something about bringing in overseas nurses kc d demand is there . apparently the supply is not well managed kc ang daming conditions and really complicated process. were all praying for the best and good news thay soon they will announce a better process to ease out applications of nurses .

jkk32w · January 2019

@babypanda she emailed the CO. after 3days nag reply that it has been requested to the managers to decide and after 3days they emailed the extended loe.

pmac · January 2019

@jkk32w I see. Kala ko this March intake sya. Grabe din ang processing for CQU. Yung pag apply pa lang isang page na yung questions. Tapos may financial declaration unlike Monash. Sa Monash 300k na show money lang needed for the Visa accdg sa kilala ko na nagpprocess now for Monash. sana nga they will ease the application like UK. If ever na mag CBT nga and OSCE, working visa agad sana. I'm still keeping my hopes up, kahit medyo napapaisip na ko for UK route.

ilovemichie · January 2019

@pmac Thanks for the reply! Ako talaga sobra na yung stress ko sa application ko. Bakit kasi ngayon pato nanagyari, I mean sa iba mabilis lang yung process. Tayo gipitan talaga! I was not accepted sa unisa for feb intake because of high volume of applicants so they will consider me for september. Kanina lang dn ngrant yung extension ko until march 2020. My application with them is still ongoing. But that does not guarantee pa my slot for september.
