@franz25 ask ko lang po... hindi ka po nag take ng ielts? hindi po ba requirement ng school yon? and requirement din ng embassy pag mag apply ng visa?

Yup i didnt take ielts becoz aside from working ako and no time for review. i arranged instead w/ the partner elicos provider of the university where I will have my main study. Also, thats an option as indicated in my conditional offer from my main study. I was referred dun sa english school by the uni then i took an online assessment test usually written and reading. Then after assessment i was placed on a 5weeks english study para masatisfy ko yung last condition ko sa uni at the same time though addtl expenses pa but its worth it kac mataas dn nmn need nguniversityif i will go for ielts exam. 7 in all subjects.back to zero kadn kac kaht mbaba yung ielts mo at me sariling assedsmnt yung mga elicos schools.

franz25 · May 2013

Though i know required ng embassy but nakaindicate sa COE nmn na packaged nga po yung pathway.but naaaaessed kn dn nmn ng elicos providercoz of issued coe so good as unmet ielts score lng cia.

franz25 · May 2013

Me adtl cost ka nga lng for tuition 350/week, living exp etc pero dapat iarrange mo cia prior to commencentmo sa main course of study

@franz25 ask ko lang po... hindi ka po nag take ng ielts? hindi po ba requirement ng school yon? and requirement din ng embassy pag mag apply ng visa?

franz25 · May 2013

Sana nga maaprove na visa ko waiting ako since 24 Mar tilnow though inabutan akong 3 magkakasunod na national holidays

Anu ung 1 year bsn course? Are u a nurse in the philippines? Or are u taking nursing here in au?

If u are studying to be a nurse eventually you will still need ielts. Im not sure if it is sound advice to actually study english in au..i always advocate for nurses to take the ielts back home, get assessed by aphra, find a bridging course which is months lng naman then apply for visa.

But that is just my opinion:) anyway Good luck sa visa:)

Yup. I am an RN and working as a nurse in a hospital here in the phils. Its the university who approved me to enrol instead as an option c of their condition to satisfy the needed english proficiency via their partner english school understreamlined listing.the elicos partner assessed my english proficiency via online tests to determine my level or as far as the ielts equivalent score is required by the uni is concerned.
This is also specifically reflected in my COE for both instiutions. You are right i still have to provide for my english for aphra filingbut the course bsn is automatically accredited w/ aphra only as a student nurse. I will take it laterif i am done w/ my uni course.

franz25 · May 2013

My course is BSN (Post Registration Entry)
I lve made my slot reservation assessmnt last 2012 in august pa kac mabilis mapuno for 2013 2nd intake.kya di na rin ako nagsayang for my ielts sana nga maaprove na this week.

franz25 · May 2013

I have requested for the credit of my units

franz25 · May 2013

Previous units taken up during my bsn localthats why they offered tome 1 yr conversion packaged with their english partner school.

franz25 · May 2013

I dont know how it will progress but this is how the university made their offer last year. Sana tama.pls comment po.

li_i_ren · May 2013

You are taking a very long and expensive route. I dont know why since you have local rn experience plus a bsn degree sa pinas. All you would have needed is ielts and could have Gone direct to a brigding course provider. Ielts is only 12-13k pesos isnt it?
I reckon you went to an agency and this is the pathway they have pointed you to. This pathway will probably cost you about 1 million pesos right? Factor in cost of living in au.

But since you have started that way na... No turning back kasi it will be too expensive to do so. Anyway, good luck and hope for the best:)

I dont have much to say as i do not believe this is the most cost efficient path for pinas rn to take.

li_i_ren · May 2013

@franz25 the uni you inquired to walang bridging program. Not all universities offer a bridging course. I had a list here in the forum pero di ko na mahanap. Anyway, good luck again:)

Ic thats why they offered me sa conversion course. But i was informed by my former classmate recently studied in darwin uni under bsn din na iaabolish na yung bridging program next year as per uni nila.

franz25 · May 2013

@franz25 Were the same ELICOS + B Nursing din kukunin ko pero sa Univ of Newcastle under 573. Nag lodge ako ng application last April pero sa October pa intake ko. So I am still waiting for the visa although im sure hindi ako priority ng DIAC kasi matagal pa commencement ko. I wanted to take bridging course since less expensive yun kaso hindi ino-offer sa Newcastle at yun lang ang nearest univ sa relatives ko in australia. No choice din like you.

Good luck to us.

franz25 · May 2013

Hay, just got a email today from the embassy to submit form 815 HU kac medyo mataas daw BP ko. Thanks at medical clearance finalised after almost 2weeks. If maforward kop ito today Visa Grant napo kya sunod? Student 573 streamlined po ako.

li_i_ren · May 2013

Most birdging schools nasa melbourne and brissy.. Bihira lng talaga sa sydney. Uni kasi earns more money with conversion programs kasi mas matagal kaysa birdging. Pero saying that ongoing pa din bridging courses for nurses fyi.. Hirap lng maka get ng slots for those in pinas still thinking of coming here as a RN.

xplicitnx · May 2013

hi any insights po about this course on tafe?..

tnx

@li_i_ren would you know kung pwede mag-apply s ahpra kahit na company nurse experience?

li_i_ren · May 2013

I think that should be fine naman as long as u comply with the other requirements too. Also u still need the birdging program:)

Nadine · June 2013

@li_i_ren: yung friend ng sister ko who's worked as ship nurse for almost 10 years, hindi tinanggap for bridging when she applied a few months ago?

li_i_ren · June 2013

@Nadine did she finish her aphra assessment first? If aphra said it is ok to take the bridging i dont know what thhe problem is.. With aphra they will assess na the bsn degree and ielts then say na ok for bridging.

But saying that may say ang school anung experience gusto nila kasi responsible sila sa mga students nila for placements. The rn are just left mostly with hospital staff in a medical or surgical ward so dapat may experience.

Like now in nz, they dont accept na volunteer work dapat paid experience na.

Hope ng friend mu is to look for a bridging school na age care ang placement. If hospital placement they have the right to be picky. Sa daming applicants..they can deny and pick anyone.

Nadine · June 2013

Yup, ang sabi niya, she applied with ahpra. Tapos, ang sagot sa kanya ay dahil ang cruise ship kasi doesn't have at least a 3-bed capacity (or 5-bed, not sure anymore what the said requirement was), kaya hindi siya pwede RN. Yun daw. Strict ng AHPRA, promise.

Oh I see, pwede siya aged care. Ok, thanks.
