NURSES: What you need to know

Cassey

@jkk32w Hi, maybe it’s someone else. Enrolled Nurse (Division 2) is different.
Kung Nurse siya sa atin, pwede siyang magconversion instead which will lead to her registration as a Division 1 Nurse here. It may take up to a year or 2 depending on her work experience and on the school as well. Yung mga iba na hindi nakaabot for BP, they go for Conversion course instead.

@Cassey thank you. ikaw kc pinka active dito akala ko ikaw hehe
baka yan lg kc option ng sis ko. mrami pa nman states ng ooffer ng visa 190 for enrolled nurse so may path parin for PR. she had 5yrs hosp exp satin and 3.5yrs hosp sa uae.. hopefully 1yr pra dna ma stretch ang gastos. whch is super stretch na in most cases ng mga applicants ngaun..
when they are div2 do they just need to accrue further exp as div2 pra maging div1? grabe backwards ang process whch s supposedly andun na sia

thanks for sharing the info..

Cassey

@jkk32w RN ba siya sa Phils? Or Enrolled Nurse? It’s totally different from the other.

jkk32w

@Cassey RN sia sa pinas and currently in Dubai as RN as well

@ilovemichie Hello! As stated din ni Cassey and accdg sa AHPRA, sa website nila is aalisin na nila yung bridging and babawasan na yung 8 criteria to 3 criteria na lang. tapos they will have a 3 part exam yata or 2. basta may CBT and OSCE like UK. Pero accdg to them, bridging will still be implemented until the new revisions is not yet finalized. Tapos conditional pa rin kasi same route pa rin, they need to assess pa din. Lahat yan nabasa ko lang sa news update posted ng AHPRA last October.

Cassey

@jkk32w Kung RN siya with those years of experience at di siya aabot ng BP at ayaw niyang mag go thru nung exams that they will soon implement definitely pwede siyang magConversion program. I’m 100% sure na she’ll only do it for a year which in reality is less than a year.

For Enrolled Nurses - Div 2, they need to study for 2yrs para maging RN.

Good on your sister who is a Div1 Nurse. Malaki chance ng sister mo na maPR considering those years of experience. She should grab the opportunity while she can habang di pa nagbabago rules and policies. They’re making it harder compared to how it was years ago.

@Cassey Hello! Now lang ako na enlighten nung nabasa ko convo nyo about conversion course. Sana pala yan na lang route na kinuha ko kasi halos half year na ko nag ayos for bridging. Now kasi wala talaga ko school na mahanap for bridging kaya yung dilemma ko if hintayin ko ba yung bago implementation or mag take ng conversion course kaso baka naman ang show money needed eh masyado malaki. Pero sabi nila ang hirap daw talaga ng conversion, may balita ka po? Thank you

Cassey

@pmac May mga selected Uni na hindi required ang show money. I’m not too sure now though kasi kung hindi man humingi ng proof ang immi, yung school naman ang nagrerequire. Sa Deakin, half ng class ng hubby ko bumagsak. Mahirap yung essay nila kasi evidence based at during their time Harvard referencing style ginagamit nila. I guess kung nakafocus ka sa studies mo, you’ll be fine.

jkk32w

@Cassey Thanks much sa info. are we right in understanding na if BSN course dito and f ma credit ang studies sa pinas thats the conversion path mentioned above. and pag tapos nila sa 1yr conversion is that considered an enrolled nurse category /skill she can apply for PR?
thanks ulit

Cassey

@jkk32w Yes, makicredit yung studies at the same time tinitake into consideration din yung work experience nila as RN kaya nashoshorten yung course. Instead of it being 3yrs, nagiging 1year na lang. It’s basically a shortened Bachelor of Nursing Course.

After they finished the course, magreregister sila as (RN) Division 1 Nurse, hindi Enrolled Nurse (EN) .
May PR pathway definitely.

jkk32w

@Cassey oh i see kelangn lg ulit ng same docs sa aphra though indi na sila i endorse for bridging kc bsn na sila dito. if d tlaga succesful
tong cqu mag start na kami process for conversion. dami na na sayang na time eh hehe

jkk32w

@Cassey thanks sa information. Godbless
which state ka pala? hehe im based in Vic, northern subs

pmac

@Cassey Oo nga eh. Like Monash di naman nghingi ng financial declaration. Yung CQU meron eh kaya di ko na muna inapplyan hehe.

Grabe din pala sa hirap ng essay requirement sa Deakin. As of now sila lang yata nag ooffer ng 1 year conversion. Tapos nabasa ko sa iba convo ang mahal din ng tuition, double din pala ng bridging.

Cassey

@jkk32w I’m not 100% sure kung kakailanganin pa niya uling magsubmit since nagsubmit na siya prior to BP. Hindi ko sure kung gaano katagal na pwedeng gamitin yung records sa AHPRA. Maybe you can ask AHPRA to confirm sakaling matuloy siya ng Conversion. But anyway, same docs pa rin naman with the addition of her Diploma and Cert from school here in Au once finishes the course.
All the best sa inyong magAte. Hope makahabol pa siya sa CQU.

Cassey

@pmac Mahal around $30k. Nung time ni hubby eh di sila nanghingi ng showmoney. Dati maraming nagooffer. Meron pa rin yata sa ECU. Anyway, all the best.

pmac

@Cassey oo nga eh aroung $30k. Kahit di nghingi ng show money pero may financial declaration form din ba sya noon? Thank you

iamyourangel08

mas ok na lang po bang mgconversion considering na sobrang hirap na po mghanap ng school for BP na mgoopen? sayang po kasi yung time..

maxihealth34

@Cassey What school did you get your conversion? Madali ba ang ECU compared to deakin?

Cassey

@maxihealth34 Hubby took the conversion course in Deakin. You can’t really compare not unless someone went to both.

Cassey

@iamyourangel08 I can’t see anything wrong with Conversion Course. It will lead pa rin naman sa Registration here in Au.

jkk32w

@Cassey hello ulit, would u know if possible mag re apply sa aphra ulit like doing the same steps and of curs bayad ulit just to obtain another loe? one extension lg kc binibigay nila and if wlaparin school to satisfy the duration mapipilitan ulit mag apply ng assessment if that is allowed. nt sure if pde kaya dna mag send ulit ng requirements.. mahal prin na option ang conversion so if loe lg ang issue and pde kaya mag apply ulit ng assessment even if additional expense then cguro il ask my sis to do that.. thanks!

Cassey

@jkk32w Hi, I’m not quite sure kung pwede. Try to call AHPRA tomorrow, very prompt naman silang sumagot. You can prolly get an update na rin with the changes.

belovedayvee

Hi everyone,

Need your advise regarding my sis’ situation. She’ll be turning 45 on Feb 2020, do you think we still have enough time for her to apply for PR? She still needs to pass IELTS/PTE, apply for bridging program. Ta!

maguero

@belovedayvee Sa tingin ko may time pa naman pero tantyahin nyo muna yung points nya kung aabot sa cut-off kasi mababa na yung current points nya for age. Kung aabot naman, check nyo rin kung yung ganung points ay naiinvite pa para sa occupation nya. Meron kasing occupations na mataas ang kailangan na points para ma-invite.

maguero

@belovedayvee Nurse pala yung thread na ito. Akala ko general skilled migration LOL. Sorry.

belovedayvee

@maguero thank you. Haha. Actually nag iisip nga kami kasi yung age nya and kung ma invite ba sya before she turns 45.

Akijo

@Cassey ms. cassey lumabas na ung loe ko today, ano po pwede ko ireply sa ro ko? na eexcite na po ako na natatakot hehehe

aron_drn

@Cassey ask ln gpo Maam my wife po would become a PR this year po secondary applicant sia nad she is a Nurse experience both SIngapore and PH, pwedi po ba sia mag direct briddging Course sa AUS ? or kilangan muna mag pa asses sa AHPRA? your suggestion is highly appreciated.

Thanks

Cassey

@Akijo Goodluck, sana may makuha ka pang slot for BP. You can email them accepthing the offer to do BP.

Cassey

@aron_drn Hi, pag Sg RN siya until now, yung ginagawa ng iba nagpaparegister sa NZ i think para hindi na magBP pagdating dito sa Au. From being an NZ RN diretso na registration to Au RN. Z

Pero pag gusto naman niyang magBP, definitely kailangan niyang magundergo pa rin ng AHPRA Assessment bago siya makapagenrol.
