NURSES: What you need to know

cucci

@meann Inquire if they have nursing conversion... I have no idea about health and community care... nursing conversion can be 1-2 years, but mostly 1 year expensed would not be that much.

Understandably unis and their agents would usually offer a longer course.

meann

@cucci Kasi po yung Health and Community Care po consist daw ng Certificate IV in Ageing Support & Diploma of Business pero iniisip ko po san ako kkuha ng 450 hours na experience para makapag apply sa ahpra after the course kung ayan po ang kkunin ko. It will cost 28,800 for 2 years and 5 mos daw po, willing naman sana ako mag enrol kung tamang pathway naman siya sa plan ko maging RN jan sa Australia. or better to take yung Bachelor of Nursing or Diploma of Nursing po na nabasa ko dito sa forum.

@meann From the looks of its the course is just a bit higher than caregiver, right? After the course, you may find work pero di pa rin mag lead into AHPRA registration kasi you still need to have 450 hours of nursing practice + bridging course to get registered.

May nabasa ako dito sa forum some time ago na umabot ng 30k AUD ang 1 year conversion course nya, di ko lang makita kung sino at saang part ng forum yun.

If nursing talaga ang aim mo you can have at least 2 options...

work as a nurse outside Au for at least 3 months full time to get the 450 hours, then take the bridging program
enrol in a nursing conversion course for 1 year and be registered with AHPRA. This would depend of course on the unis assessment of your credentials. At least di na required ang 450 hours na practice kasi graduate ka na ng Australian university.

@cucci I truly agree hahahaha

meann

@cucci thank you so much po mam sa information. Pag natapos ko napo conversion ko saka lang po ako magrregister sa ahpra? Then Anmac napo tama po ba?

lizzie86

May nakita ako school for Feb intake 2019. I assume by that time may elegibility letter from ahpra if maipapasa ko na un requirements ko by next week. However,ano ba ang pros and cons ng 6 months na briding vs 3 months?bukod sa visa

cucci

@meann Yes, after conversion you are eligible for AHPRA registration kasi nursing graduate ka na ng Australian uni. ANMAC is for assessment toward skilled migration.

@lizzie86 Wala naman difference between 3 and 6 months bridging program in relation to AHPRA registration, as long as the program is approved by AHPRA. The list of approved schools and bridging programs can be found <a href="https://www.ahpra.gov.au/Education/Approved-Programs-of-Study.aspx?ref=Nurse&Type=Bridging"><b class="Bold">here</b></a>.

May mga nagsabi din nga na di naman na tinitingnan kung saan ka nag graduate ng BP... ang importante pag-check ng prospective employer sa AHPRA current ang registration mo at walang negative comments.

meann

@cucci meron po ba kayong ma ssugest na agency na pwede mag ayos at maghanap ng school ko for conversion course, kasi po I tried mag email sa mga university pero wala pong mga reply till now. Nasa UAE po kasi ako so atleast online application nalang sana po. Thank you.

cucci

@meann Try mo tong <a href="http://bit.ly/2lv5O5N">AECC Global</a> at <a href="https://www.idp.com/philippines/study-in-australia/">IDP</a>. <i class="Italic">I have not tried engaging in any of them so this is not a personal endorsement.</i>

meann

@cucci thanks po and god bless! 🙂

Hi i would like to ask the possibilities of landing a job after the bridging program. Ive already forwarded requirements for AHPRA to my agency. I have a 2 year general ward experience and 3 years hemodialysis experience in a free standing hemodialysis clinic thank you

skinnyjoyce

@ishtar hi ive read your posts about Philman. How is your application now? R u in Australia already?

Hello ask ko lang if ever I will pass my docs to AHPRA this September and my last working exp is last Oct 2014 pa magkakaron ba ng problema sa 5 yr na recency of practice. Kasi natatagalan na yung AHPRA sa pagreply diba?and sa ANMAC din ba magkakaproblema if ever? Thanks sa mga sasagot po..

cucci

@kishy If you submit your docs ngayong Sept, you must be able to finish the initial steps leading toward Letter of Referral and the Bridging Program by at most siguro July of 2019. I am not sure kung how strict they are with the letter of the regulation. Technically kasi, the 5th year after your last employment/practice is up to the day before your last day of work in 2019. The 450 hour practice is about 3-4 months so more or less pag submit mo ulit ng application kay AHPRA dapat may 450 hours ka na practice. Wag naman siguro sagarin kasi baka matapat sa medyo mabusisi na registration officer.

Sa ANMAC naman within the last 10 years naman ang kino-consider nila so kung magpapa-assess ka sa 2019, yung experience mo between 2009-2019 ang titingnan nila.

batman

sinong nasa Brisbane, full na din ba mga schools for bridging?

danjoe03

I submitted my docs last August 17. How long do they usually email you back by the RO?

@Cassey hi po ma'am,I would like to know if you have any idea whether I could have the straight B's in 2 sittings ( 1st exam taken on 5 Dec 2016, 2nd exam taken on 4 Dec 2017)of OET for scoring 10 points for proficient English on the points test for the visa application?? OET Big thanks!

kymme

@coconglu i think for immi purposes, has to be 1 sitting. even with ahpra, if two sittings, dpat within 6mos yung gap sa 2 sittings

Dkc1388

cucci

@Dkc1388 Check for sked kung anong day at time pumupunta ang JP sa community center. Free naman magpa-certify... medyo pila lang minsan. Bring the original and copies to be certified.
