What are the OPTIONS for nurses

kymme · March 2018

@jammmy tricky. just make sure ma nas huli ma grant grant ang 189 mo. kasi pag na grant ang 189 first then you forgot to cancel your 457 application and na grant din, yung last visa grant ang effective

jammmy · March 2018

@cucci Thank you po!Mukhang I'll go for option number 2 based po sa nasabi nyo, mas beneficial po sya sakin.
Salamat po uli! Hopefully ma-grant po agad ang 457 ko.

@Cassey Nsa pinas po ako at the moment. I was actually waiting for my 189 invitation last year pa and just discovered recently na mas mataas na points pala yung iniinvite nila so I took PTE para maging 75 pts ako, luckily naging 75 at na-invite po ako. Kaso nung panahon na naiinip ako sa paghihintay ng 189 tinry ko maghanap ng sponsor online at may nag-hire naman sakin. kaya mejo nag-overlap ngayon.

Thank you po! I'll review my contract and will do my research dito sa forum for the documents I need to prepare in lodging a 189 visa.

jammmy · March 2018

@kymme Thank you po! I'll keep that in mind. Unahin ko na po muna tong 457.

kymme · March 2018

@jammmy dont forget na may ilan days ka lang pra mg lodge dun sa invitation ng 189. idk if 30 or 60 days un. i lodged the next day agad kasi.

Justin · March 2018

@jammmy basta dont forget to cancel your 457 if balak mo antayin kung ano mauunang visa kasi the most recent visa granted is yun yung magiging effective visa mo. All the best more power to nurses!

Cassey · March 2018

@jammmy Nasa Pinas ka pala. Just a heads up, At the moment medyo matagal ang grant ng 457. We have a friend who applied last January dito siya sa Au now on a TV, hanggang ngayon wala pang grant kahit na pinaexpedite na ng company. And if you’ll based it on the Global Processing Times, it’s 5 to 11 mos of wait. Anyway, meron ka pa namang ilang months to sort it out bago maexpire EOI ng 189 mo. All the best,

Cassey · March 2018

@dy3p Coming from a 457 visa to 189, ano ang masasuggest mo?

LovellaEllen · March 2018

Thanks Cucci for clarification!

iamyourangel08 · March 2018

Hello po.. Ask ko lang po ulit kung meron po ba ditong PR na sa Australia then ngapply sa university for Conversion? May question lang po ako.. Thank you po..

jammmy · March 2018

@Justin @Cassey @kymme noted po! thank you po sa mga advice nyo

dy3p · March 2018

@jammmy hmm. mejo tricky tong situation na to a.. I think its your personal choice on this one. At the same time, observe mo yung trend ng processing times. If I were you since may invite ka nanaman, lodge kana and wait mo nalang yun. The reason is, 189 nowadays tends to be processed faster provided na all documents were provided during the time of lodgement. Besides parang madodoble lang babayaran mo for a 457. Ganon kasi naging path ko, mejo sigurista lang. hehe Kaya nag 457 muna ko, then after 2 weeks, naglodge na ko 189. Ngayong feb lang nagrant yung PR. Sept pa ko nag lodge. Sayang yung naging time ko if ever. + yung waiting time pa dito and job search.

dy3p · March 2018

By the way, buti nakahabol kapa sa 457. Ni replace na sya ng Subclass 482.

jammmy · March 2018

@dy3p ganto kasi sir, nakapag lodge na kasi ako ng 457 visa (naka 1 week na) so nagbayad na din po ako for that and for my dependent din. Pero kasi naman di ko akalain na lalabas agad yung invitation ko for 189. Ang balak ko sana pagka-grant sakin ng 457 maglolodge ako agad ng 189. Okay lang ba yun? possible naman yun di ba? Wala naman magiging problema?

btw napansin ko lang location mo sir. Nainterview ako jan sa St. stephen's hospital kaso mejo mas mabilis nagreply yung hospital sa Darwin tapos naihabol pa nila ako sa 457 ang bilis nila naayos lahat kaya ginrab ko na lalo na nung na-apply nila agad ako ng nomination for 457.

MissAussie · March 2018

ask ko po regarding sa pagclaim ng points and pagsubmit ng reference letter, dineclare ko kasi both etong volunteer and paid experience ko sa ahpra, kelangan ko po ba mag submit both ng reference letter? Thank you

dy3p · March 2018

@jammmy uu, sa st stephen's nga ako. hehe diba ako yung nakapaginterview sayo? haha anyway, ok lang yun. Kasi ako parang after 3 weeks ko ata magrant ng 457, lodge agad ako 189.

Cassey · March 2018

@MissAussie Hi, yung sa claiming ng points it should be a paid experience. Yung reference letter sa ANMAC assessment siya kailangan. It’s only needed for the paid work experience.

jammmy · March 2018

@dy3p ang plano ko pagka grant, lodge na agad hehe. baka matagalan pa 189 eh. anyway ayun nga sir mag 457 muna ako para naman may ginagawa ako habang naghihintay sa 189 grant. dalwang babae naginterview sakin. sa Theater kasi ako. Pinay ata yung NUM na naginterview sakin.

dy3p · March 2018

ahh! haha oo, c ate leo..

hpizon · April 2018

Hello po anyone knows a hospital here in QLD that offers sponsorship... mag expire na kasi student visa ko this May 27 and wala pa akong 190 / 180 invite. Thanks po sa sasagot.GB.

dy3p · April 2018

@hpizon Marami naman pong nagssponsor. More on regional ang sponsorships. When I applied 2 years ago, I was offered 457's from Townsville, Bundaberg and here in Hervey Bay.

hpizon · April 2018

@dy3p thanks po sa reply:) how to find out po which hospital nagssponsor, sa seek at indeed po kc ako usually tumitingin.

hpizon · April 2018

@dy3p need ko po bang esearch ang mga hospitals for those regions na nabanggit nyo po then send an applications to each one of them?
Thanks po

dy3p · April 2018

@hpizon Sa seek din lang ako naghanap nun and usually nakasulat sa add nila na they offer sponsorships. Signup ka sa sugarman, agency sya then sila maghahanap sila ng hospital mo. You can tell them that you're looking for sponsorship kaya ililine up ka lang nila sa mga hospitals na nagssponsor nga. I was offered 2 jobs din pala sa melb from sugarman. Both of which ay nagooffer ng sponsorship.

Avon3737 · April 2018

@dy3p hi sir, ask ko lang po if ano po mas ok magbridging program or bsn ulit? kasi malaki na po yung experience gap ko so di ko po sure kung pasok pa sya sa bridging program. thanks po

dy3p · April 2018

@Avon3737 actually, ahpra ang magdedecide din nyan. Mag sstart ka muna with your application sa ahpra. And mag rereply sila with the loe. Isusuggest naman nila dun kung ano talaga yung pwede mong kunen to be registered. Pero at the end of the day, it's still up to you. Siguro the conversion course is much in depth as compared to the BP. Gano po ba katagal yung gap?

Avon3737 · April 2018

@dy3p yung last related experience ko po was 2012 to 2013. may nabasa po kasi ako na mas ok yung conversion if plano ko magstay ng australia since mas accepted nila yung 2 years of education. thanks po sa pag reply.

dy3p · April 2018

@Avon3737 Im not sure about "mas accepted". Both are accepted naman. When you say na "if plano magstay", you do know na you will be on a student visa if you do the conversion right? Baka may ibang case dito like you pero I do know people na 1 year gap and AHPRA still suggested the BP. Im not sure about 5 years though.

This is written on the fact sheet of application for registration for re-entry to practice as of 2013. But I presume that this is for AU nurses.

1. Returning to practice after a period of absence - if the absence has been for:

>less than five years, it is the individual’s professional responsibility to undertake an evaluation of their readiness to re-enter practice, or

>five years or more, the individual needs to advise the relevant state or territory board or registration committee of the NMBA using the process outlined below.

Maybe may idea dito si @Cassey . Pero I'll definitely ring ahpra for this and let you know as soon as I get an answer tomorrow.

Cassey · April 2018

@Avon3737 You are allowed to do BP as long as the experience is within the last 5yrs prior to lodging and as long as it’s equivalent to 450hours.
In all honesty, hindi naman nagmamatter kung ano yung tinapos rito sa Au, mapa BP or Conversion Course man. Most employers if not all ang tinitignan is yung experience. At the end of the day, pareho lang naman maglelead sa registration yung dalawa. Yung iba, they opt for a longer course dahil they needed extra points and they want the 485 visa that comes with the 2yrs course. It will all boil down kung ano yung purpose mo.

Avon3737 · April 2018

@Cassey thank you. How many years po ba ang 450 hours? I have 1 year and 6 months po last 2012 to 2013. Ano po ba yung mas advisable sa katulad ko po.? Registered nurse po ako sa ph. Kaso po after 1 year and 6 months of experience umalis po ako for dubai kaso ibang work. Thank you po
