What are the OPTIONS for nurses

tenseako · August 2013

@knoxville 6 lang kasi ang writing na nakuha ko, need ko ng 6.5 eh dapat last feb pa ko kung natuloy ung unang skul na na-applyan ko. kaya i have no choice but mag-elicos nlng kasi sobrang tagal ko ng tengga.

2yrs ung nursing ko, 3 yrs dapat yun, pero may credit ako sa mga subjs ko before.

knoxville · August 2013

@tenseako.. ah ok.. pero bago matapos ang BSN m kailangan mo ng all 7 pra mkpag register sa aphra db?..

and sabi skin ng isang agency ung 1yr nursing program.. after nila mag grad enrolled nurse lang daw sila?.. not a registerd nurse?.. totoo ba un?.. tnx..

tenseako · August 2013

@knoxville ah yun po ang di ko alam, pero ang sure ko is after you finish BSN program registration with aphra nlng and then RN ka na sa oz. yep all 7 ang need. plan ko magtake ng ielts ulit 1yr after basta impt nasa aussie na ko and may job na kahit pano.

2yrs validity naman nun e. and by that time siguro naman okay na writing ko kasi ngayon wala naman talga kong practice for writing, im not even expecting to get a 7 right now.

@knoxville, di totoo un sabi ng agency.. The 1 year nursing conversion course are for overseas nurses who wish to gain registration as nurse in australia. Upon completion of the course, you are eligible to apply for registration to aphra basta you have complied the requirements.. You can check the course description na nakalagay sa websites ng universities na nagooffer nito like flinders, deakin, curtin at Queensland univ.. For more details..

I am new in this forum and I would to ask for some advice for my situation.

I am an RN but I have no experience yet. I want to take up a BN Degree in Melbourne since andun relatives ko. Do you know of any info about ACU's nursing program? I have read somewhere that it is a good nursing uni although I'm not sure how reliable that info is. Alam ko Deakin is really good but they require all 7 sa ielts which I was not able to get sa writing :-< My choices would be VU, RMIT, Monash & ACU. Monash is a known uni but ACU is way affordable. I just hope the cheaper costs does not compromise the quality of the education? I hope someone could help me with this. Thank you so much. I am planning to get in for Feb 2014 so I needed to decide na on which school to enrol.

Hi ka pinoyau!

My wife is currently working as a clinical instructor in one of the big universities here in manila, she's also a registered nurse for 14 years. Given that she passed the ielts acad 7 across all bands, will she be considered qualified by aphra for bridging?

What are the requirements of aphra aside from ielts 7?

Thanks and God bless

dianepaj · November 2013

@Santi AHPRA requires international nurse applicants now to have at least 2yrs experience, PRC license and other documents, would require as well all school documents (TOR, Diploma, etc) as well as continuing professional education documents pero if she's still working naman she doesn't need it she just needs to provide documents from her employer and a job description... hope that helps..

dianepaj · November 2013

@asdfghjklqwerty ACU naman is a good school here in Melbourne, nakapaghandle na ako students from ACU sa workplace ko, coz I work here as a nurse in a public teaching hospital.. your school really won't matter just make sure na kilala ing school, the list you mentioned naman are all known and legitimate..

dianepaj · November 2013

@tompitt03 for her to get a nurse license here in Australia, she needs to get assessed by AHPRA, first step is IELTS at least all 7.0 in all areas would be the passing... then she needs to submit all documents AHPRA will ask here from school, PRC, current employer and then they will give her a letter to say she needs to take a bridging course, then that letter is what the school would require para they will give her a slot to do the bridging program then after 3months she gets her license, then job hunt or she can even enrol in a Master's degree for 2 years then apply for a permanent residency..

good luck

Santi · November 2013

@dianepaj thanks a lot. How much would it cost us for the APHRA assessment? Timelines before they release the decision?

JCsantos · November 2013

Parang mahirap mag apply ng Nurse dito ... mas madali pa sa US or Canada ... I've got a friend who sends Nurses to the US ... meron din kaming mga officemates sa pinas na went through a serief study to become a nurse in US ....

pfernandine · December 2013

I'm new here, my wife and I are currently working here in Saudi, we have more than 3 years experience already but I have no idea what kind of visa should be applied for. Will the visa for the both of us since were partners or will it be separate, thank you

im assuming nurse po kayo? start po nyo basahin ang thread na ito from start.. marami po kayong mapupulot..

tompitt03 · December 2013

@dianepaj kahit ba na grant na ng PR visa ung dependent kailngn pa rin ang IELTS nya at least 7.0 bago ma assess ng APHRA and eventually bridging course tama po ba?

pfernandine · December 2013

I read most of the comments already, anu ba recommended na visa for us since we need to do bridging program and look for a work placement, the short stay visa won't suffice don't you think? since it's max stay is 3 months please help..

iammaxwell1989 · May 2014

Hello all,

Does it make a difference in the tuition fee if you take the bridging program as a PR compared to when you take it as an international student?

May friend kasi ako na PR and halos walang binayaran nung nag bridging. I was thinking its a discounted fee or probably fee help. Can you avail of the fee help right after PR grant?

Thanks guys.

lairou · May 2014

@iammaxwell1989 yung friend mo na PR, san siya nag bridging? Thanks.

iammaxwell1989 · May 2014

@lairou Deakin.

Electrical_Engr_CDR · January 2015

Xine · January 2015

is being a private nurse home base for 5 years can be considered as experience?

meechan_rn · February 2015

Hi everyone. I'm just new here po. Just want to ask po regarding sa situation ko po. Registered nurse po ako dito sa Philippines since 2011 pero was pa po akong nursing experience. My concern po is, should I register first sa AHPRA para maassess po nila, required po ba un? or can I directly look for Universities na pwede ko mag aral at pagkatapos ko dun saka po magparegister sa AHPRA? Thanks po sa mga sasagot po.

kangarookoala · February 2015

Just a reminder mas mahirap mag hanap ng work in au for nurses if walang experience.
Ielts first...7 in all subjects
Aprha to asses docs
Docs ok then look for school for bridging
Pass bridging
Register for rn license with aphra
Job hunting!!
Also... Dito sa nsw most of the big public hospitals do NOT offer work visas na. So if no work visa or pr visa = no job offers.
but remeber if may au rn license na kayo and ielts of 7 in all bands pwdi kayo mag apply on ur own skill independent visas!
Ung friend ko 6 months after bridging no job offers until she got p.r. But once may pr na sya may offer agad kahit 2 yrs lng ata job experience nya sa pinas.
Mas mahirap na to look for work now compared to 3 yrs ago PERO if you have the right paperworks..nurses are luckier compared to other professions.

iammaxwell1989 · February 2015

Hello guys! Just a quick question, hanggang kailan pwedeng mag pa assess sa AHPRA? Is there a period of time after graduation or after the last relevant nursing experience na pwedeng mag pa assess? Thanks everyone!
