Bridging Program/ IRON Program

Akijo · February 2019

ang mahal ng conversion course, nakakapanghina na mostly sa atin may loe na pero wala ng schools for bridging

Akijo · February 2019

@pmac same thoughts, asa Aussie ako now pero wala na talagang schools open for bridging

Saveontransfers · February 2019

It's hard to continue when there is no school for bridging anymore. Parang saan na ko nito?

@Akijo ako din po.. Paano na lng ung may loe kng wla ng school? Masasayang lng ba un?

Hi po, just try your best to get the LOE extended until you can get a slot for BP. If not, no other choice po but to re-apply again to AHPRA for a new LOE.

babypanda · March 2019

Ako din nawalan na ng pag asa sa bridging since wala talaga slots. Surprisingly, last Feb 13 I received an offer from SCU for July intake (application was sent Oct 2018) and accepted it. But then after a week naka receive naman ako ng offer from Deakin for 1 year conversion and I decided to enroll to Deakin instead.

babypanda · March 2019

I also requested for an extension last Nov 2018 but they declined since wala ako Offer letter. Then I requested again after makuha ko yung offer from SCU nagreply naman sila agad. Yun nga lang di ko na sya magagamit.

Hello po. Wondering if anyone is looking for an accommodation sa Adelaide? Pls PM me I might be able to help you out thank you

Akijo · March 2019

@babypanda kahit for next year offer sana pero I doubt kung may mag oopen pang school for BP lahat na ng schools as far as I know na naka lista sa site ng ahpra na mag offer ng BP tinawagan ko pero same info din na full na cla for the upcoming terms this year. Ang LOe ko na release nong January next year na ang expiry, sana man lang kung ilabas nila yong bagong process i-creidt pa din nila yong may mga loe na at wag naman na sanang ipa re-assess, crossfingers tayo for the meantime mga kapawa nurses

babypanda · March 2019

Hi, tanong ko lang po ano usually visa grant for brodging program? Pwede naman po sc600 business/visitor? Thanks

cucci · May 2019

@chibikatie Kung naka-avail ka po ng 3 month program 600 business/visitor will do but if more than 3 months would require a student visa.

chibikatie · May 2019

@cucci hello po. Thanks for the reply.

anamarie · May 2019

guys, question lng, pano kung nasa overseas tpos magpapasa ng COGS sa APHRA, pwede bang magrequest sa kamaganak n pumunta sa PRC? anong mga requirements, thanks in advance.

cucci · May 2019

@anamarie Yes po, pwedeng-pwede. Just send an authorization letter authorizing the bearer to process the request of COGS from PRC.

Be sure to instruct the person to request PRC to enclose the COGS in their official envelop and if possible print the address of AHPRA on the envelop... unless meron nang mailing/courier option ang PRC. Pag wala, ipadala na rin nung tao via registered express mail or courier (UPS, Fedex) to AHPRA.

anamarie · May 2019

@cucci Thank you po sa reply. pwede n po ba isend yung COGS sa aphra khit di p nakakapagpasa ng mga requirements? saka pwede n po bang mag pa international criminal history check khit di pa nsesend requirements like COGS?

cucci · May 2019

@anamarie Yes to both questions but bear in mind that COGS and ICHC are valid for 2 months (or is it 3? - not that sure anymore). As such you might be required to submit a statutory declaration for both documents if you have not submitted the complete documentary requirements by then, or a decision has not been made by the time the validity period has lapsed.

anamarie · May 2019

@cucci ano pong pinaka recommended nyo? kelan ko dapat ipasa yung COGS and ICHC? thanks!

cucci · May 2019

@anamarie For bridging program po ba intention nyo or the new pathway? I dunno if you'll still be able to get a slot for BP considering that it is being phased out and most of the schools offering has stopped accepting applications or slots have been filled for the next intakes?

It's not that difficult to get COGS from PRC anyway and mailing using international express takes about 2 weeks to arrive in Au... ICHC results are usually in in about 2 weeks, also... so the best time to get those documents would be about 2 weeks before you submit your application to AHPRA... at least this was my experience last 2017.

Hi guys! Ano pinaka mura na OSHC for couple? and sa tuition po, ano best way to send the payment to australia? yung maliit na yung fee.

Thanks.

anamarie · May 2019

Another question po, regarding sa certified copy, yung RLE ko po kasi pina notary ko then sinubmit ko sa PRC yung original na may notary nung nag board exam ako, meron po ako photocopy nung notarized document pero yung mismong original document na may notary wala po ako, pwede nb un? or dapat yung mismong notarized document ang isubmit? sana po nagets nyo. bali black and white yung mismong pirma ng attorney kasi photocopy lng din.

cucci · May 2019

It would seem that NMBA/AHPRA has delayed the implementation of the OBA until early 2020. (am not that sure but if I remember correctly, the wording in this used to read mid 2019). https://www.nursingmidwiferyboard.gov.au/codes-guidelines-statements/faq/transition-to-a-new-assessment-model-for-internationally-qualified-nurses-and-midwives.aspx

But the schools with approved programs of study is fewer compared to the previous years.

For those waiting to take their BP, do check if there are new slots open until the end of this year.

anamarie · June 2019

Hi everyone! I need some help regarding the format of CV. It has taken me weeks to figure out what to put in my CV especially on the category of Work/Practice history on internship/observership. Kasali po ba yung OJT days dito?

Another question po, kung nilalagay niyo pa bo yung trainings like CPR training, IVT training etc.. and seminars niyo sa CV?

Can you please share or send me a copy of your sample CV as well?

If there is someone generous.. This would be much appreciated! Thanks a lot!
