Hi Pommysheila - thanks again for taking the time to reply. I really need to find out if the post grad dip I am doing will count as a top up to diploma. I have asked at Uni with no answers and looked on the web, but just cant get an answer. Will just keep trying.... thanks again

Thank you,that's all good to know. Will look into the regional sponsored scheme buy I don't see how you can work with a diploma as ahpra won't register diploma nurses.

Thank you for the advice, will definitely look out.

Hi could anyone help: im a uk diploma nurse with 7 years post reg experience. i have my accredited MSPP and am currently doing my post grad diploma in district nursing, have completed 30 credits on semester 1. my question is: By the time I complete another 30 credits (may 2017) would I have to equivalent of the Australian bachelors degree? ie will have 240 diploma and 60 from pgdip so far... plus ?15 MSPP. only asking as husband has been offered sponsorship in Sydney and if we went out by end of summer I wouldn't want to have to study bridging course when I get there as would want to get registered with what I have already if possible. mamy thanks for reading this post. Any advice would be great 

Hello please could you give some advise as to where we stand as would like to migrate to Australia, but fear we may have left it to late and time running out... heres the situation: i am a registered nurse with 7 years work experience, I am a diploma nurse. But am currently doing a post grad diploma with work and will be finished in September 18, this will give me the bachelor degree needed for aphra registration. I have done IELTS about 5 years ago and got 8.5 overall. my husband's occupation is similar to that of a drainer, he has 20 years work experience but no formal qualifications, he is also self employed. Really don't know how to get his skills assessed to gain 5 points we would require. we were hoping to apply for state sponsorship PR after I finish my degree, but am worried as our ages will be around 47 then. I am nervous to go for 457 sponsorship when i apply for my nursing registration as if it all goes pear shaped we have 4 young children to think about. any advise would be great. thank you so much....
