Hi guys!

I just want to ask what happens after passing the bridging program? Do they have a board exam in order to be a licensed or be a registered nurse? What about if you are holding the 456 visa or the short-stay visa that is good for 3 months-- does that mean that you have to file for another visa for you to be able to work? Or you can undergo a sponsorship from an employer? Do you know how does sponsorship works?

I hope you can enlighten me on these. Thank you very much!

If you have completed a bridging program, then you need only apply for fullregistration with AHPRA, I assume that when you say bridging program, you're talking about being an RN. The last time you posted, you were on certificate 3 which is a different thing altogether.

Once you have registration, you can then apply for work locally. As to sponsorship which you seem to be asking in almost every thread you have started, you need to prove that you have ann exceptional skill that is in high demand and cannot be easily filled. So there you go, hopefully this will answer your question...

Personally I don;t see a lot of "sponsorship" as you put it because even if they are made available under grant, only citizens or PRs will get first bite at the cherry. So if you are not a PR or citizen and hoping someone will sponsor you so that you can migrate here, then your chances is really very slim. Stop entertaining shortcuts and work for it, that's a sure way of securing a work visa as many have done so. Good luck
