    hello, i have a concern regarding my fit2work. when i applied po for the ICHC, i just used my married name and the other option when filling out was “alias” lang ata and did not bother to fill that out. then when i viewed the result a while back, may column dun na written “other name” my concern is, questionable kaya un ni AHPRA since i have submitted my marriage cert as a proof of change of name?

    secondly, i got another investigation from saudi naman and the remark was “referred for manual checking” meron po ba here same case with me those who worked in a foreign country other than the Phils? I don’t have any criminal case sa KSA po ha.. TIA sa sasagot..

    hello all ive been inquiring with diff schools for 2019 IRON intake, IHNA said na replaced na to with Objective Structured clinical Exam OSCE where need na ng one year program for graduate diploma in nursing to be able to take this exam.

    Ung ETEA nman sabi nila wla ng IRON from next year- EPIQ nadw pro wlapa dates.

    Anyone has an idea if this EPIQ equates to IRON na tanggap ng ANMAC for license? sana lng indi nato maging 6months ang laki na ng kelangan i gastos :(

    hope u can all share info kng may nkpag inquire na sa n u for a bridging program from next year January.

    Salamat po.

    Hello guys, baka may nakapaglodge dito ng tss na, pahingi po ng timeline nyo? Or may nakaexperience na ba na matagal iaapprove employer's nomination?

    And ask ko na din po, I am currently onshore, pero yung visa ko as offshore nilodge, waiting pa din kasi ako magrant ng nomination and it's been a month na mula nung nilodge nila, if worst case scenario maabutan ako ng expiry na 3 mos sa visa ko, pwede kaya ako mag apply ng Bridging Visa?

    Thank you sa sasagot po.

    @MissAussie Oo nga eh, iniexpect nga rin namin na mas mabilis. Yung kanya was actually expedited pa. The company called the immigration and ang sabi is if kulang yung docs babalik yung papers sa huli. Just make sure na complete docs mo. Nobody can really tell, who knows dumating yung iyo ng mas maaga. Keep on praying and have a plan B.

    magsubmit ako ng application sa AHPRA this week. Maybe around Jan 2019 mare receive ko LOE. My agency told me that magstop na daw yung counting ng 5 yrs na recency of practice kung nasubmit na yung application sa AHPRA. Is that true po ba?Kasi my doubt is saka sola mag count kappa after ng bridging na e sa July 2019 probably yung bp.

    @kishy I’m not 100% sure kung magstop siya by the lodgement date. I think you’re pretty safe once na may LOE na so definitely not after the BP.
