Im jst arrived about 9 months ago  from the Philippines,,,, Im a registered nurse by profession in my country, but im working as medical receptionist in the medical centre,,,

 

I hope someone can help me to give some information of my confusion:

 

First, I am so desperate regarding my ielts exam which I really need it which one of the requirements  to enroll for bridging course of international overseas nurse but before that I need first the eligibility to study permitted by ahpra.

 

My question,

and secondly, if ever I cant enroll the bridging course for overseas nurses program,,,,  can I enroll in university  for nursing?or do I need to go back in first year level?

I don't have any idea regarding really for the education in nursing field,and no one can give me an advice either,,hopefully this is the good site im looking for,,

There are 2 options whereby you can become an AIN in a healthcare facility. Either enroll in an AIN course in TAFE (6 months course) or get into a nursing degree course in Australia. (2nd year and above. If you managed to get into the bridging course, you can work as an AIN immediately.)

You can enroll yourself for a nursing degree, but it does not guarantee you a nursing praciticing cert nor does it guarantee you a new grad position. And yes, if you do not get into bridging program, you will have to start from year 1 again.

Please note that you have to pass IELTS/OET (all 7/B and above) after you graduate from university. If not, you will have to provide evidences of being educated in english for 5 years and above from certain countries. Countries includes: Australia, Canada, Republic of Ireland, South Africa, UK and US. Fail either of these 2 options, you will have issues getting your registration.

Hi strongruby,

Where you from?from what state?I'm an RN frm the Phils too but decided to study at the Uni for BN. I'm on my first yr now and all I can say is I wish I apply for bridging program which require IELTS although studying in the closes city is not a good option for me because I do have a daughter and can't afford to be away for a yr for bridging program course. I studied in the regional University close to home for convenient sake but now thinking about deferring it next year to take my IELTS preparation study.

My advice is just go ring the Nurses board or inquire for IELTS and bridging program. Email me if you need someone to talk too.

P.S. I'm currently working as a PCA at the aged care facility which in Victoria state require to have Cert 3 in aged care before they employ you.

Good luck!
