"Studying at Institute of Health and Nursing Australia has been one of my best decisions ever. The reason I chose IHNA was because of the best path for international nurses into Australian Health care system. IHNA is a place where people of different nationalities meet together to share one common goal, education. Not only is it just education but also the chance to meet new friends, experience a new culture and discover more about yourself. I left the college with skills that are important in today's world.

The staffs at IHNA were friendly and approachable. My teachers were absolutely exceptional, and I owe so much to them for my success today. The learning environment, although outwardly more relaxed, was highly focussed and engaging which provided solid preparation to get into Australian Health care system.

"I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at IHNA. After completing my bridging programme, I gained entry as an RN into Australian Health.

IHNA provides a happy, caring and supportive environment that allows each student to reach the pinnacle of their capabilities. IHNA gave me the knowledge and support to adapt to life in a new country. If you have the will, IHNA has the way!"

I accepted a job offer with Healthscope at Northpark Private Hospital, in Bundoora, for the position of Registered Nurse Peri-Operative Unit. I will be their only trainee for the Theatre Nurse Novice Program commencing on 14 Feb 2011. I had 2 other job offers but I find this position most suited for me. I am hoping to be successful and proficient in my career as a theatre nurse and an Operating Department Practitioner someday. 

I am sharing this with you because I have always been proud of my humble beginnings at IHNA. I will always carry the name of my school with pride and honor. Thanks to all you guys who have been instrumental in the success of all your students. Cheers to IHNA.

I joined IHNA as a student at a time when I was new in Australia, and I didn’t have a good idea which school I will approach for course study. After my internet search, I decided to choose IHNA because of its convenient location, modern facilities and up to date learning tools and low fees. It also gave me the flexibility to finish the course at my own pace.

If I have a friend or newcomer in Australia, I would recommend IHNA, because it is not like other schools. Instructors will help you no matter what, with anything. From the start of your study till your employment.

Thank you IHNA, and I’m proud to be one of your student.

Australia was a distant dream for me....................
Miles away from home......a lonely planet............
covered with pristine cool waters and sugary sand Caribbean like beaches.......

I realized my dream....a dream close to my heart through VCHN.
VCHN stood by my side throughout my nesting life in Australia.
Caring me like a mother....sharing knowledge like a teacher......
It is in the foundations of VCHN that I began my new life i n this lonely planet...

I found VCHN not an agency but as a group of friends.........
committed in professionalism, dedication,trustworthy and many more..........
It is a great honor to be the Ambassador of VCHN throughout Australia.....
which is built nothing but on the foundations of professionalism................

Services.............incomparable.......Commitment .........never ending..............
My dream...a sweet dream ........came to life through VCHN...............................

With a signatory note of thankfulness,

The Institute of Health and Nursing Australia is a well maintained institution with all the required facilities including a good computer lab and a clinical lab providing opportunities to practise in a simulating clinical environment. The teaching and the non-teaching staffs are excellent in rendering their services. The educators have a good knowledge of the subject area. They are very supportive and encouraging. The topics covered in the course provided new information about the Australian Culture and Australian Health Care System which was very beneficial for me to successfully complete my clinical placements. The course in total gave me a lot of clinical experience which will definitely help me in my future career and job prospects.

"The basic nursing practice and skills are much the same around the world. In Australia, when you kick start your nursing career, what really matters are your communication skills, confidence levels and the right attitude as a nurse.

The IRP for overseas nurses offered by IHNA is so well designed that I could upgrade my knowledge and improve my communication skills with the help and guidance from the well trained educators at IHNA. This smooth transition programme has put me on track to be as competent as any other Australian trained nurse.

Thank you IHNA team!"

"Last October I finished my pre registration and bridging program for overseas nurses and consider myself fortunate enough to be a part of IHNA

I can't believe a college like this actually exists! The lesson plans are easy to follow and gathered from a wide variety of sources, giving students an extensive background of information.

I would describe the trainers as' open, relaxed, very engaging, informative, interesting and excellent communicators'.
All the staffs were supportive and gave me the knowledge and support to adapt to life in a new country.

Great college and will definitely be recommending it to other candidates."
