Flumper Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Hiya. I am expecting my 457 visa any day. I'm a nurse with my Australian nursing reg sorted and a job waiting for me....I was also very impatient as I am already in Australia. :-S Anyhooo I really want to top up my nursing diploma to a bachelors but it seems to cost a fortune as I'm not Australian or a PR. :-( Gutted. Anyway around this? I love studying and hate the thought of waiting years until I get my citizenship (that's if I don't get chucked out for being impatient). I just think life is too short and I want to study and work my way up in the career I love. Any help and advice would be great. Thanks for reading my waffle. x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flumper Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 <<<<goes to rob a bank and buy's a lotto ticket>>>>> Was just wondering if any other nurses or similar who managed to get funds from their work or something....prob unlikely. I need to be a PR to pay the domestic fee...I will look into this or just learn to wait. I'm just keen on going to uni or college....thought it would help me settle and make friends as well as some more learning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quoll Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Nope, sadly it's going to be international fees or nothing. That said, your employer may well offer you professional development because you are likely to need it to maintain your registration status although some employers of allied health professionals dont structure ongoing learning but tell you to sort it out yourself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rammygirl Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Work on getting PR ASAP then you can study without paying international fees, although you won't get a HE loan unless you are a citizen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
