I am suprise to see a 720 display compete with a Fhd display of Tecno. I think its worth spending extra money to get phones from experienced and original brand. Kudos to Gionee.

This part is not clear. Are you ADN or just some pre-nursing courses in order to acquire the required prepreqs for nursing school? If the second, opt is not luxury anymore, not even when I graduated in 2013. Work towards your transfer while you're stay in school. The grace period to when one can stay unemployed in US for opt is short.

Certainly, such fear abound, only when you are not furnished with the right information.
But I can assure you don't need to fear or entertain such
In your mind.

I can not suggest any particular school to you because of personal preferences ..... but I can list schools in Australia which you can check out on your own.

Look at those schools that offer BSC in nursing for international students and they are so many of them.
I believe you have access to the internet, relax and search them one by one under undergraduate program because you are going for bachelors degree in nursing to be precise.

Australian education generally is expensive compare to some other countries , so look at the one you can afford.

You will get admitted when you meet the required documents.
Your age have little or no effect because there is career progression in your case. From Diploma nursing to Bachelor degree in nursing shows your clear intention that you really want to progress in your career.

You need to write English proficiency test be it IELTS, PTE, TOEFEL and the likes.
Send in your O level result as well as your diploma result ( RN license). You can go further to your school to get transcript of the courses you did in your 3 years and 6 months of study in your school of nursing. I believe your school have your records of all your results.
Get recommendation letter or reference letter from your school.
Pay the application fee which is not more than 100AUS dollars.
Write statement of purpose why you choose this course, why the school, why Australia and not in your home country........etc....
Find below a pictorial representation of the schools you will search for your intended program.

During the course of your application process, admission and visa application, gurus in the house will be willing to guide you.
Goodluck!..
thank you boss. can I pm you?

Albion05:
Good morning dear!..
I believe you graduated from school of nursing and so you have diploma in nursing (RN).
Is all good.

My advice and which is not final:
- Go for Bachelor degree in nursing, this will help improve your academic and career progression in this noble profession. You might decide to pursue MSC later on in your life because you must have already gotten the Bachelor degree.

The Bachelor degree earns you 2 years post graduate work permit. This helps you to buy time in other to pursue your PR mission and of course you will get it.

After your Bachelor degree in nursing, you can decide to specialize in any of the following speciality in nursing....

midwife

With your age, in the late 20's, Bachelor degree in nursing will be your right point of call. Going for certificate program will be very difficult to convinced the Case officer, because of your age and you already had a diploma in nursing. But that does not mean is not possible, it is, but difficult.

If you choose to pursue the certificate course and you were lucky to gain visa grant, after the program you are only entitled to apply for Graduate work permit but not post graduate work permit irrespective of your course as far as the Australian qualification frame work is concern, AQF.

Synopsis of Graduate work permit!...
link-https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/supporting/Pages/485/requirements-graduate-work-stream.aspx

Graduate Work Stream requirements

For international students with an eligible qualification who graduate with skills and qualifications that relate to an occupation on the list of eligible skilled occupations. A visa in this stream is granted for 18 months from the date of grant.

Requirements for this visa include:
you nominate an occupation on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL).
your visa application included evidence that you had applied for a skills assessment for your nominated skilled occupation by a relevant assessing authority
your skills have been assessed by a relevant assessing authority as suitable for your nominated skilled occupation ('suitable skills assessment')
you have met the Australian study requirement in the past six months
each degree, diploma or trade qualification used to meet the Australian study requirement is closely related to your nominated skilled occupation.
You must nominate an occupation on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL). You can nominate only one occupation and you cannot change that occupation after you apply

Eligible qualifications
For the purposes of applying for a subclass 485 under the Graduate Work stream, the course/courses must have resulted in a degree, diploma or trade qualification. For example, a student may complete two consecutive Diploma level courses and satisfy the Australian study requirement under the Graduate Work stream, provided the other components of the requirement are satisfied.
Qualifications must be closely related to nominated occupation

The qualification(s) completed must be closely related to the student's nominated skilled occupation. For your qualification to be considered to be closely related to your nominated occupation, the skills underpinning the qualification must be directly transferable to that occupation. This applies to both the subject matter and the level of the qualification. For example, if you nominate 'physiotherapist' as your occupation, a degree in physiotherapy would meet this requirement, but a degree in commerce would not.

Example: Acceptable combinations of study and nominated occupations include:
an applicant who nominates 'Physiotherapist' as their skilled occupation and completes a degree in physiotherapy in Australia
an applicant who nominates 'Air-conditioning and Mechanical Services Plumber' as their skilled occupation who has completed a Certificate III in Plumbing and a Diploma of Plumbing and Services in Australia

Example: A combination of study and nominated occupation that would not be acceptable:
An applicant's nominated occupation is Registered Nurse but they satisfied the Australian study requirement on the basis of having completed a Bachelor of Commerce.
Skills assessment

It is your responsibility to arrange for the skills assessment. Contact the relevant assessing authority well before you apply for this visa, because each assessing authority has its own assessment procedures, timeframes and charges.
Contact details for Assessing Authorities are listed on the department's website.
You must apply to the relevant assessing authority to obtain a suitable skills assessment prior to lodging your application

If your nominated occupation is 'medical practitioner', evidence of your full medical registration is accepted as evidence of a skills assessment. Further information can be found on migration of medical practitioners under the general skilled migration program

If your nominated occupation is a Nurse, you must obtain a skills assessment from the Australian Nursing and Midwifery Accreditation Council (ANMAC) even if currently registered to work as a nurse in an Australian state or territory

A skills assessment is only valid until the expiry date specified on the assessment, or for a period of three years from the assessment's date of issue.

N/B: Post graduate work permit is different from Permanent residence.
Courses with 2 years duration of study guarantees you 2 years post graduate work permit and not permanent residence. Some person starts early enough to pursue their PR mission and with the 2 years post graduate work permit, it helps buys time for you to pursue that.

The age care was added to certificate program as a course, before people can do that in days or few weeks to get the cert but now, it is a program on it own where you pay tuition fee for that.

As a nurse to get permanent residence is not really a big issue like that compare to some other courses.....
I have already highlighted specialities you can specialize as a nurse and obtain your PR having met the requirement of your governing body(The Australian Nursing and Midwifery Accreditation Council (ANMAC) and as well pass the English proficient test.

If you have any other question drop it, I will be willing to answer you to the best of my knowledge and other gurus in the house will do the same for you.
thank you very much sir, you have widend my understanding.

I have a fear concerning skills assessment from the Australian Nursing and Midwifery Accreditation Council (ANMAC). I learnt that after verifying Nigerian RN diploma certificate, it do come out to be below their standards in comparison.

with this fear, and your explanation above I concluded that my best bet is to go for nursing degree. so there comes my question...

please can you suggest school(CHEAP one oo � ) that will accept RN-Bnsc top up?

I also learnt that offering degree nursing to international students is difficult. how true is it?

still afraid of my age, Will be 28 next B-Day. not married

good morning, I'm a registered nurse. have gone through the thread though. just want to ask you bro.
Considering that courses with below 2 years duration may not guarantee someone permanent residence
So how about Nurse Training Australia?
Most courses there... Aged care and community service for instance isn't up-to a year duration..it ranges from 36 to 60 weeks.

As for me, like I said, I have both RN & BSC already & masters should be the next thing but masters is only open to Registered nurses in Canada, you have to the license of a particular province as nurse before you can apply for masters, ONLY certificate courses are open to international nurses, could use that to tackle next application, that's if that's why I was denied because I am yet to know why, as for you, send emails to enough universities, they take RNs for BSC, my only concern is how you are going to convince the VO in your SOP because it's like they don't know how this health line thing works...God help us all, you might want to try U.K though, I have a colleague that got BSc admission with just RN. Safe!

I am a nurse with Bsc & RN also, applied for trv & was denied days ago, don't know the reason yet though, applied for Pgc enhanced nursing practice clinical & critical, would have loved to do it as a masters because have got good grades but all masters in nursing in Canada are not open to international nurses except certificate courses, that's why I opted for Pgc, and I got to know about SOP after I joined this thread, would have stated it as a major reason for choosing Pgc in nursing & not masters, so I am waiting to get my note on why I was refused in other to know if I should reapply or not, feel free to ask me questions.
am RN holder going for BSc. I've did alot of research and it seems is difficult to consider international applicants for nursing degree. some of the school said I should go for non nursing electives and that wouldn't be good for me considering age. I just needed to upgrade from Rn-Bsc.
