NURSES: What you need to know

jjlara · September 2018

Hi everyone, magtatanong lang po... meronpa ditong 2 times ng binigyan ng extension letter for application sa APHRA? Sa akin kaso 2 time ng nagbigay...I submitted my application APRIL po...

juanne · September 2018

hello, i have a concern regarding my fit2work. when i applied po for the ICHC, i just used my married name and the other option when filling out was “alias” lang ata and did not bother to fill that out. then when i viewed the result a while back, may column dun na written “other name” my concern is, questionable kaya un ni AHPRA since i have submitted my marriage cert as a proof of change of name?

secondly, i got another investigation from saudi naman and the remark was “referred for manual checking” meron po ba here same case with me those who worked in a foreign country other than the Phils? I don’t have any criminal case sa KSA po ha.. TIA sa sasagot..

Hello nurses..asking in behalf of my sister. usually how many weeks does aphra let you know if may kulang ang docs ..were waiting for that letter pra mkpag enrol for BP. nag email sila na na receive nila ang docs last Sep5.

Actually na receive nila aug19 as per austpost notification bec i posted the docs here in melbourne. My sister is in Dubai. So given sep5 nila na receive or na chck formally how many weeks in average nag eemail nung letter for referal to bridging.. Mraming salamat and Godbless po sa mag take time to reply.

hello all ive been inquiring with diff schools for 2019 IRON intake, IHNA said na replaced na to with Objective Structured clinical Exam OSCE where need na ng one year program for graduate diploma in nursing to be able to take this exam.

Ung ETEA nman sabi nila wla ng IRON from next year- EPIQ nadw pro wlapa dates.

Anyone has an idea if this EPIQ equates to IRON na tanggap ng ANMAC for license? sana lng indi nato maging 6months ang laki na ng kelangan i gastos

hope u can all share info kng may nkpag inquire na sa n u for a bridging program from next year January.

Salamat po.

@jkk32w Yes, EPIQ will also lead you to RN registration. Check schools offering it, it seems like nagbavary yung duration per school.

Hello guys, baka may nakapaglodge dito ng tss na, pahingi po ng timeline nyo? Or may nakaexperience na ba na matagal iaapprove employer's nomination?

And ask ko na din po, I am currently onshore, pero yung visa ko as offshore nilodge, waiting pa din kasi ako magrant ng nomination and it's been a month na mula nung nilodge nila, if worst case scenario maabutan ako ng expiry na 3 mos sa visa ko, pwede kaya ako mag apply ng Bridging Visa?

Thank you sa sasagot po.

Cassey · September 2018

@ashthrood Please check the first page of this thread for the requirements.

Cassey · September 2018

@MissAussie Ask @RheaMARN1171933 Yung kakilala namin around 2mos yung inantay niya.

MissAussie · September 2018

@Cassey omg! Ang tagal, kinakabahan ako kasi baka abutan ako ng 3 mos kakaantay dito sa Oz

Cassey · September 2018

@MissAussie Oo nga eh, iniexpect nga rin namin na mas mabilis. Yung kanya was actually expedited pa. The company called the immigration and ang sabi is if kulang yung docs babalik yung papers sa huli. Just make sure na complete docs mo. Nobody can really tell, who knows dumating yung iyo ng mas maaga. Keep on praying and have a plan B.

MissAussie · September 2018

@Cassey 1 month waiting na ko since nalodge yung nomination and visa, hopefully lumabas na soon bago magexpire yung sc600 ko

aem · September 2018

Hi! Sino po ang nakapag EPIQ na sa SCU? Magtatanong lang po sana regarding sa vaccines. Pwede po ifacilitate na yung nga vaccines kahit wala pa pong offer from school? Para po ready na? Thank you so much po.

cucci · September 2018

@aem Yes, you can do the vaccinations na.

aem · September 2018

@cucci either doctor or nurse po ang pwede mag sign sa form? ☺️

kishy · September 2018

@cucci hi, thanks for the reply. If I'll be taking the bp in July 2019 and it will take 12-15 weeks and Oct 31 2014 yung last day na employed ako as a nurse. Do you think kelangan ko pa din kumuha ng 450 hours?

Cassey · September 2018

@kishy It should be fine as long as bago matapos yung 5yrs (3 mos prior to Oct 2019) eh nakakuha ka na ng LOE mo.

kishy · September 2018

magsubmit ako ng application sa AHPRA this week. Maybe around Jan 2019 mare receive ko LOE. My agency told me that magstop na daw yung counting ng 5 yrs na recency of practice kung nasubmit na yung application sa AHPRA. Is that true po ba?Kasi my doubt is saka sola mag count kappa after ng bridging na e sa July 2019 probably yung bp.

Is that true po ba?Kasi my doubt is baka start mag count after pa ng bridging e sa July 2019 probably yung bp.

Cassey · September 2018

@kishy I’m not 100% sure kung magstop siya by the lodgement date. I think you’re pretty safe once na may LOE na so definitely not after the BP.

kishy · October 2018

@Cassey thanks sa reply

girmarie · October 2018

Hi po everyone. I already received my LOE and applied to Deakin Uni. I would like to ask about the immunizations po, since wala naman ako babybook na po. Is it better to have a serology test or doon nlg po? at macocover ba ng insurance?

Thank you! @cucci @Cassey @kymme

Hi everyone! A friend of mine just consulted rps for EPIQ. Sabi nila wala na daw 3months for bridging courses ngayon 6mos na daw lahat. Then by june 2019 may board exam na daw for ahpra registration. How true? 8-|

Anne2018 · October 2018

@paanfsurn based sa website nila meh cognitive and behavioural exam na. OSCE and computer-based test.

paanfsurn · October 2018

@Anne2018 yup saw that too! And they also stated that the bridging program will be replace by OBA. Mejo UK na yung process..

paanfsurn · October 2018

@Cassey hi miss cassey. Just wanted to know if I choose to take another course (leadership and management) after bridging and registration sa ahpra to have another year of stay sa au under atudent visa, pwede na rin bako mag send ng application for skill assesment sa anmac and lodge ng app for 189/190 while on student visa? Pwede ba sila pag sabayin?

Akijo · October 2018

Question lang po, yong documents from school na ipapa-CAV sa ched, need din po ba sya ipa red ribbon pa sa DFA? salamat po s mga sasagot

Cassey · October 2018

@paanfsurn Hi, yes pwede ng sabay yun. Just make sure na yung makukuha mong TV doesn’t have a “no further stay clause” and pwede kang magapply onshore for another visa.
