Registered Nurses ANMAC Skills Assessment (and Anything Nursing Related)

marknight85 · August 2014

Just browsed through some parts of the forum and i don't think there is a centralized topic for Nurses in this forum so i just thought to make one. But if there are objections please do tell me. Thanks. I hope nurses on board can help each other out and also other experienced people.

Any nurses here who want to share any tips and experiences with ANMAC and etc.

As for my part i had a straightforward assessment with them and i was only asked to submit another set of reference letters. They are so meticulous on that part of the assessment. However, after 4 days after submitting the letters they requested, my positive skills assessment came in.

Hi sir marknight85! how was bridging program? Is it more on skill assessment? coz I plan to take the bridging program once I meet the all 7 mark of IELTS. Did you have your part time job during the program?

netzkeenet · September 2014

@mikewtf d pde mg partym work kng subclass 600 ung visa mo. Bridging prog ay 3mos lang kaya malamang sub 600 ung visa mo na wlang work rights. Mg theory ng 1month then duty 2mos.

marknight85 · September 2014

Tama talaga no time for part time work and no working rights. Pero ang bridging program kayang kaya ng mga nurses na galing pinas mas mahirap pa ata sa pilipinas. hehe... Dapat positive lang talaga and receptive sa criticisms ng iba. Madami lang paper works and assignments. Pero for sure if nag decide ka sa isang bagay at i workout mo makukuha mo ang desired results mo in HIS time.

Hi @marknight85.. how was your bridging program goes? magkano ba IHNA perth ? ang how long ang validity ng visa 600 mo?

as for me.. still waiting for Ahpra LOe,going 4mos now..

marknight85 · September 2014

Hi @rejai_11. Masaya ang experience and maraming bago para sa akin.IHNA perth parang nasa 11500 ata yung last check ko. multiple entry visa ko maximum 3 months stay. Yan pa din gamit ko 2nd entry ko ngaun dapat exit this october pero sa awa ng Lord hindi na.

rejai_11 · September 2014

thanks marknight85 i'l hit u up when my LOE's out..hopefully soon.. daming backlogs ang ahpra ngayon ang gulo dahil sa new assessment model nila.

mikewtf · September 2014

@marknight85 sir is bridging program an assurance that you can practice your nursing profession immediately after? nakita ko yung new assessment model ng APHRA kelangan meron ka nung 8 criterion. Meron dun yung course outline sa pharmacology. Ganun din po ba nung ngapply ka sir?

rejai_11 · September 2014

hi @mikewtf waiting karin ba ng loe mo?

mikewtf · September 2014

@rejai hindi pa po ako nagaapply kasi gusto ko sana yung bridging program kaso yung IELTS ko kulang

. Kaya nasasayangan ako lalo na at willing tumulong mga relatives ko na nasa NSW. Advised dn kasi nila bridging program over student visa.

rejai_11 · September 2014

@mikewtf di ka pede mag bridging kung wala kang letter from ahpra which need mo mga mag ielts/oet to apply which now ang tagal nila mag bigay ng result, some waiting for it for almost a year na..so work on your ielts muna, or try mo mag oet mas madali, di ko rin nakuha ang ielts kaya nag oet ako..i can send u oet materials.

mikewtf · September 2014

@rejai_11 ano den po ang plan mong pathway? ano po bang difference ng oet at ielts? antagal naman pala. aside from ielts at oet nagpasa din kayo sa aphra nung 8 criterion nila?

U can practice immediately aftrr ma receive mo ang registration mo kung makakahanap ka agad ng employer n magsponsor sau for work visa

mikewtf · September 2014

@netzkeent sir san ka po ngbridging? in your case po ba nakahanp ka din ng employer mo agad after the program?

marknight85 · September 2014

Hi @mikewtf hindi ko naabutan yang 8 criterion nila eh. Nakaaply ako before naimplement noon february ang patakaran nila na yan. kaya ayun hindi kita ma bibigyan ng any input jan. Hindi assurance ang bridging program na mag kakawork ka agad dito sa OZ. kasi pahirapan mag hanap ng sponsorship kaya ang pathway ko is IELTS/OET - AHPRA LOE - AHPRA Registration - ANMAC Assessment - PR 189 or 190 Application - UNLIMITED WORKING RIGHTS final goal hehe...

mikewtf · September 2014

@marknight85 buti ka pa sir malapit ka na sa final goal mo. hehe. Wish you all the best! andami na nga talaga reqt nowadays tapos matagal na din dw mgrespond ang APHRA. Hopefully I could make it on my 2nd take of IELTS

netzkeenet · September 2014

@mikewtf babae po ako

sa IHNA ako nag bp. nde ako nakahanap ng sponsor kaya umuwi ako muna and waiting sa application ko ng PR.

rejai_11 · September 2014

@mikewtf mas easier for me ha ang oet tried ielts once di ko din nakuha, kasi sa oet nursing lahat ang topic so medyo madali, mas madali ang writing / speaking sa oet compared sa ielts, yun nga lang mas mahal siya kaysa ielts, times two ang bayad.
as for my ahpra application,yup nagpasa ako nga criteria 8 nila, still waiting for the result.

Carlisle · September 2014

Hi guys,

May question po ako. Graduate/RN po ako sa atin ng year 2006, wala po ako hospital experience sa atin. School nurse lang exp ko from 2007-2009(2 yrs), pwede po ba ako magbridging course or uni na talaga? Paassess daw ako sa ahpra kaso parang ang mahal naman kung malalaman ko din na hindi pwede school nurse exp tapos ang tagal na pati nakalipas.

Thanks

rejai_11 · October 2014

@Carlisle the best is pa assess ka talaga sa ahpra di ka pede dretso ng bridging kung walang letter from ahpra..but before that need mo muna ielts/oet bago mag pa apply sa ahpra.

hello.. I am still waiting for my partner visa to be approved. I am an RN here in the Phils. so IRON program talaga ang pinakamadaling way to be registered no? halos 12k aud talaga ang magagastos? thank you.

just to take note.. kung ang partner visa mo is permanent visa, baka iba ang magiging cost..
normally mas mura pag permanent resident, considered as domestic student...
compared pag international student/temporary visa holder..

example i know someone na PR paying only 1-2kaud/yr for a cert/diploma,
for that same course, an international student will pay 15kaud..

depends on the educ provider, 2 years ago most of them grant student help to PR's taking bridging program but recently wala na po, so PR o hindi same cost, yet iconfirm mo din sa school which u intend to do your bridging program.
yes most likely with new ahpra's policy all phils. nursing graduate must undergo bridging program regardless of how long and where your clinical exp is. please take note for you to be referred to bridging program you need to take ielts acad 7 or OEt B for you to be able to apply to ahpra.

taz · March 2015

Hi pwede pong hingi ng advise sa mga ng bridging na... If halimbawa ng ielts ng april this year. Pwede pa kayang gamitong ang ielts na yan for bridging & aphra docs sa late 2016? Or wud it be too late. So advise nyo nlng i postpone muna ang ielts..

rejai_11 · March 2015

which means it will expires april 2017, pede pa naman magamit late 2016 kaso baka di kana aabot sa bridging expired na, please note di ganun kadali result ng ahpra, some take a year, mine was 8months.if late 2016 kapa plan apply for ahpra then it's better tsaka kana take ielts.

Good day Fellow Pinoy RNs!
Tanong ko lang po if credited sa ANMAC yung aking 2.8 yrs experience sa PH 2008-2010 (ER) , 2010-2012-industrial clinic(Abroad) & 2013-present( remote area facility) abroad.
Kung sakali mag-apply ako in the future sa anmac after ng aphra registration, ano yung pwede ko na gamitin na ANZCO code para to qualify sa Skilled nomination 189/190?

Maraming salamat po!
