NURSES: What you need to know

Cassey

@ishtar After the serology test, dun mo na malalaman which vaccines you’ll still be needing. You just have to coordinate with your Uni as well if they will accept results from the Philippines.

@Cassey ok thanks so much mam! Last question po, nasend ko na po kasi application ko sa AHPRA pero di ko pa napapasend ung COGS ko. Nareciv na ng AHPRA ung docus last week. Kaya pa po ba mahabol ung COGS ko if I send it today before they can email na may kulang ako?

greenapple

@purla18 hello sis may points ang degree ntin sa pinas. Need lng po kunin ung sa level of english proficiency should be atleast band 7 equivalent ng ielts pra mkpgbridging. If mayroon k n nun pede k paasess sa aphra kung anu ung proper n recomendation nla for your case.

greenapple

@Cassey @kymme ok lng b n ung refrence letter not printed sa official head ng company?

greenapple

i mean not printed sa official letterhead

Cassey

@ishtar Around 2weeks ang turn around time for the COGs. Kung pwede mo ng gawin, mas maigi. Kung i email ka man nila at least nasimulan na tapos waiting na lang to arrive in Au.

kymme

@greenapple sa pgkk alam ko dpat may oficial letter send. sinend ko sayo yung sample ko

Cassey

@greenapple Tama si kymme, dapat may letterhead. Strict kasi sila dito, and unlike sa atin dito hindi pwede ibypass yung mga guidelines. Make extra copies din kasi whatever you’ll be submitting sa AHPRA and ANMAC almost the same rin for PR. One tip as well, once you get the invitation for PR, just make sure to complete your documents including medicals before you lodge your visa. It would lessen your waiting time and would give you a chance for a Direct Grant. All the best!

@Cassey oh i see! Thank you so much po for taking time answering my questions ☺️☺️☺️ Super big help!

Hi newbie here! Kakastart ko palang po magapply sa ahpra. Oct 5 nila nareciv ung documents ko. OET ung tinake ko kaya natagalan ako magpass sa ahpra kasi halos 1month waiting for results tapos halos 1month din waiting for the printed official results. Late ko na nalaman about PTE. So inaasikaso ko na po ung vaccination record ko while waiting for LOE. Ang gastos pala nun

ishtar

Plan ko po sa Lonsdale Melbourne mag enroll and sana makaabot pa sa feb 2018 slots. Any feedback po sa school na un?

Cassey

@ishtar No worries and all the best, Thanks for sharing your story.

ishtar

@Cassey i'll update my timeline nalang po if may progress na ☺️

hello po ask ko lang original documents ba kelangan like ung COE, RLE, etc sa AHPRA. Pwede ba na kumuha na ko ng Reference Letter from my previous employer para sa ANMAC kasi papa update ko din ung COE ko kahit wala pa ko sa stage ng pagkuha ng migration points.

hi good afternoon, just signed up today, I am confuse with the registration process. Nandito na ako sa AU Canberra specifically, and PR na. Gusto ko sana magaral ng nursing, with 5 yrs experience from phils. Kailangan ko pa din ba passes sa AHPRA before going to uni? thanks!

ellenaig

ang haba na ng thread,ngayon ko lang nadiscover yung forum. Anyone can answer my queries ko super thank you!

Cassey

@ellenaig Hi, if you will do a bridging course, you’ll definitely need to get a Letter Of Eligibility from AHPRA. What you don’t have to go through is the ANMAC Assessment since you’re a PR already.

Cassey

@kishy Hi, you don’t have to pass original copies. Just make sure though that the copies you’ll be submitting are NOTARIZED. Keep the original copies because sooner or later you’ll be using the same set of documents for ANMAC and PR. Yes, pwede ka ng kumuha ng documents na sa tingin mo eh kakailanganin mo.

kishy

San po ba masgtart ang gap of practice? From the date of graduation or from the date of obtaining your registration in Nursing?

kishy

@Cassey Pwede na ba ko manghingi agad ng reference letter kahit wala pa ko sa stage sa ANMAC?sino din po ba magsend ng reference letter yung previous employer ko o ako mismo?Per employer ba sa Nursing kelangan ng reference letter or yung previous lang?

kymme

@kishy from date of nursing registration. bec technically, You ate not allowed to practice right after graduation unless you already have you registration

kishy

ok @kymme. That's what I thought also but I just became confused when my migration officer told me it should be from the date of graduation.

kymme

@kishy kasi usually dito sa aus, ig ng bachelor in nirsing ka sa uni, mas mauna kapa ma register kesa graduation. same nung saken. na reg ko july pero grad is sept pa

kishy

@kymme ah kaya pala ganon, pero kung graduate ako sa pinas and experience sa Pinas magsubmit pa lang sa AHPRA ng cv, shall I follow yung from the date of registration sa PRC?

missy16

Hi everyone! Planning to take the Bridging course. Would you suggest na ipasa muna english exam before accomplishing ibang requirements for Ahpra?

nursesam

Hello po ulit! I heard 3 months experience for the last 5 years can qualify for application in AHPRA. anybody knows about this? Is this true po kaya? Kasi I was thinking, instead of taking conversion course, I'll get hospital experience muna for 3 months then do the bridging. Any advise po. Salamat!

nursesam

Thanks! I'm planning to work for at least 3 months in the hospital in PH, then I will start my application in AHPRA. I got my license 2010. Will I have any prob with the work gap, if I start the 3 months from now? Or like, will it make the approval of my eligibility slower? Also, will I be qualified also to apply for PR? My score would be 60.

@missy16 Hi, Yeah, focus on passing your English test and once you pass everything else will follow.
