NURSES: What you need to know

LovellaEllen

I'm confused.. What do you mean by COE?

ykcul_kcul

@LovellaEllen certificate of enrolment mam.

LovellaEllen

@ykcul_kcul Baka yung BP slot mo is beyond 1 yr na, atleast sana maka start ka ng BP before yung eligibility mo mag expire meaning enrolled kana dapat before expire. Remember that BP period is only good for 1 year and I think AHPRA will only extend on special situations.

ykcul_kcul

@LovellaEllen thats the probz po maam kasi hndi magbigay ng Certificate of enrolment ung school if hndi mag ask ng extension letter sa ahpra po..

LovellaEllen

when po yung target start nyo for BP tpos yung eligibility expiry?

ykcul_kcul

@LovellaEllen jan 2019 po.. and my Loe will expire on march 2019..

LovellaEllen

explain mo lang sa AHPRA, may mga cases nabasa ko na granted yung extension galing AHPRA same situation as yours.. if hindi ka papayagan mag enrol sa school, try other schools..

Hello po may i ask regarding vaccination. Nirerequire po ba to ng lahat ng uni. I will be taking conversion program 1 year at ECU pero hindi ako naiform kung may kaylangan po na ganito. Thank you.

cucci

@velvetcake1214 AFAIK vaccinations as dTpa, MMR, HepaB and TB screening is a government/state requirement which the schools/unis implement. The primary reason is to protect you and your patients during clinical exposures.

velvetcake1214

@cucci I see. So needed po pala yun. Can i do this habang nandito pa ako sa pinas? Thanks po

cucci

@velvetcake1214 Yes po, better start/have your vaccinations now and be sure to get certifications for each. Depending on the state may mga specific forms din na pwede mong magamit to record them with certifications attached. This is for NSW.
Actually, for nurses this would have been required even when we were still students.

Hi po can someone help me to decide po kung mag bp or conversion ako...kasi po iam 37 years old na with 9 years of experienced...ang iniisp ko po kasi kung mag bp ako at ngayon pa.lang ako nag sstart kumuha ng mga documents para sa aphra mattgalan po ako bka 2020 na ko makakuha ng slot sa school for bp ay by that time 39 na ako at pag nag apply ako for pr 40 na cgro ako non baba na ung points ko.. kung mag conversion po ako mas mabilis na makaalis at ung 1 yr na ippasok ko po ba for bsn ay may additional points po ba para sa pr?...tnx po sa mga sasagot ..

@annafonz Considering the age factor, the bp pathway would have been the fastest. However, AHPRA will be doing away with the BP sometime next year in favor of the outcomes-based-assessment (OBA) pathway towards registration for internationally qualified nurses. The exact details and timetable has not been published yet. Nursing Conversion program may be the next best thing for you since this will not be affected by the new pathway. However, you cannot claim additional points for the PR application because the basic requirement is 16 months of study for the Australian Study Requirement. You will need to enrol in another course to qualify which would put you back in the same situation you outlined in your query. You will finish at age 39 and will be around 40 when you apply for PR which would drastically lower your points for the age requirement.
If I may suggest, try gathering your docs now, apply to AHPRA and hope to get Letter of Referral in time for Jan intakes of BP. Of course, this is very dependent on how soon you can submit your application and receive the letter of referral. Medyo mahirap talaga ngayon dahil marami ang naghahabol na maka BP dahil sa for sure there will be uncertainties during the initial implementation of the new pathway.

Anyone na nakaexperience na nakabridging visa while waiting for student visa then nakareceive ng invititation at nakalodge ng PR? Pwede ba iwithdraw na lang student visa applocation?

cucci

@jvs_mmm If the question is simply "pwede ba i-withdraw", of course, that is your prerogative but it's another case if you intend to ask for a refund of the visa application fees. You can of course, request for a refund but it will be up to the DoHA to decide if the refund is merited or not.
It would be prudent to withdraw the student visa application because, if for example it was not withdrawn and you were granted the PR visa first, the subsequent grant of the student visa might supersede the PR grant.

Thanks @cucci ❤️ Perth po kasi ako ECU. May form po kaya sila dun narequired. I searched sa website ng uni wala ako nakita na form just the needed vaccines. Para po sa mga vaccines naeron na ako ano pong pwedeng pakita na proof na meron kung wala na yung baby book ko. Nung college din nagvaccine na kami thanks

cucci

@velvetcake1214 Eto po ata ang gamit na form ng ECU.
Most of the requirements are adult vaccines naman. I think ang relevant na nasa baby book ay yung para varicella para sa chicken pox. Otherwise you can have booster shots na. HepB will require booster shots if surface antibody count is less that 10 or 12 depending on the health department of a state.

@cucci thank you po sa info ...

sa mga taga middle east na hindi mabigyan ng COGS haban hindi ka pa resigned pede bang magpasa ng statutory declaration kahit wala pa go signal ng RO? nagrequest na sya ng additional docs for COGS. Nagemail na ako sa kanya na nagpadala ng explanation letter un employer ko sa AHPRA. antay ko pa un reply eh. Naisip k kasi magpagawa na habang para ready na ipadala. Until Nov. 15 lang kasi ang deadline nya sakin eh

Cassey

@jvs_mmm Yes, you can. Just make sure that you have a valid visa once you withdraw your SV. That happened to us before.
