Hi geordiegirl and Maria, thanks for the advice... The two universities that I have had to contact have been really helpful but due to their records storage policies neither of them has any information available. Both have sent letters to ahpra to this effect, I have also applied to the nmc archives but no information is held there either. I was aware of this in October and asked ahpra for guidance prior to applying but the only advice I was given was to submit an application and wait for a decision. :mad:

I've unwittingly found my way to this page and I am now convinced that I will not get registration with ahpra. We are relocating to Oz in October as my husband has a transfer to the Australian defence force and we have residency visas with 90 days from arrival to complete citizenship. I qualified as a mental health nurse in 1996 therefore I have 18 years experience as a qualified nurse. However academic transcripts are not held for 18 years and I cannot prove the hours completed in my original studies. I have been asked for a statutory declaration which I have posted within the last week, but whenever I raise a question with ahpra regarding their process and the new guidelines a straight answer is never obtained... I have noticed that this is a recurrent theme. I'm concerned that if I do not obtain registration then I will be giving up a career I have pursued for 21 years and more than likely I will return to the uk. I will follow this thread with interest and await a decision from ahpra!
