Congratulations Toongirl that's brilliant news x
-
Hi Petal. I had an email at the beginning of March saying they'd received my application. Approx 4 weeks later I was asked to supply another verification from the NMC. At the end of April I emailed to ask if they'd received this & was told at this point that my application had been forwarded for assessment of my qualification. I didn't have any other correspondence until my email on 11 July saying my application was approved. Although I've 12 months to attend an AHPRA office to prove my identity, if it's more than 6 months I've to also supply further proof of my current nursing registration with the NMC. I have been lucky that I certainly didn't have to wait 9 months for an outcome x

I have been lucky enough to get the golden email today with my letter of eligibility from AHPRA. My background is having a BA Nursing Studies & BSc Hons Specialist Community Public Health Nursing. However, after 20+ years of nursing alongside colleagues who's training ranged from the old modular training through to masters level I am deeply saddened that highly trained, highly experienced, dedicated & intuitive nurses are not perceived to be 'good enough'. I will continue to support everyone on here & it's from the bottom of my heart that I hope you are all successful in knocking down & destroying the large barrier AHPRA have erected on your path to Oz xx

Congratulations. It's nice to hear someone getting some good news on this thread x
-
I'm really sorry to hear your news abbilouiseslatter. My thoughts are the same as the others though, that if it's your dream then you have to plough on & jump through this new hoop if it's nursing you want to continue with & not give up. I realise it is easier said than done though & I really hope you end up where you want to be.
-
Thanks for this Lilmiss. It's good to hear there is movement. Hopefully, since the board are meeting fortnightly more people will start hearing from AHPRA.
-
Good luck. Any news would be progress just now x

Hi Hayley, Yep, we are all being driven crazy on here but at least we're all in it together. We've got PR as well & the house is up for sale. The college I did my nursing degree at no longer exists & my transcript only states pharmacology so the NMC sent some general EU directive. I've no idea if this will be enough evidence to cover criteria 8 & will just have to wait for the outcome. Personally I'm determined to go no matter what even if it means a career rethink.

Hi everyone, just to make you aware these are 2 tweets from AHPRA this morning in response to 2 questions DipHE is AQF level 6. IQNM Criterion 4 requires AQF7. Post reg nursing quals also considered. AQF info: bit.ly/1nDMGxh The local Board is meeting on a fortnightly basis for those IQNM applications that require a decision of the local Board

AHPRA and why UK Diploma Nurses shouldn't bother applying

Someone on another forum has posted that their friend has had their registration turned down. The reason they were given is that they had a Diploma In Nursing! -
AHPRA and why UK Diploma Nurses shouldn't bother applying
bigmac replied to a topic in Careers and Vacancies
I can fully understand your frustration & annoyance but has anyone actually been refused registration or been given the condition of doing a bridging programme since the new criteria was introduced? Or is it still speculation that those with a diploma will be refused? -
Kelly's right, got to keep going when you've come this far Oz2014. This is the place to rant though because everyone here totally gets where you're coming from x
-
There doesn't seem to be any end to this, beginning to wonder if AHPRA themselves actually know what they're looking for in our qualifications :ssign1:
-
Hi Titan11, How did things go with the shadow Health Minister?
-
Well done & thanks for all the work you've done so far. It doesn't apply to me as I only applied at the end of Feb but perhaps those who applied before the changes will be assessed using the old framework.
-
Thanks for keeping us updated. I see they've also mentioned the board is meeting 'more frequently' due to the number of applications.
-
I'm still waiting. All I know is my application has been passed to the national board for assessment of my qualifications & for a final decision to be made.
-
I've also sent a copy of the form regarding criteria 3 that's now on the AHPRA website to the verification dept at the NMC for them to complete & send to AHPRA. I don't know if they've done it yet because I've not had any contact from them but I don't think there's a charge for this. If I get asked to pay extra I'll let you know.
-
Think I would consider applying as I assume they've got a large backlog if people who applied last August are just getting their LOE now. Ask ANMAC to send on your file & that'll cover some of the documentation. I contacted NMC & uni at the same time I sent my application just so they'd have it before the other stuff was sent, although I think the NMC has still to send confirmation my course was verified! They're not the quickest.
-
That's great news. Thanks for keeping us updated, it offers some hope :biggrin:
-
I really don't know what's going to happen here. Can't believe there's a chance I won't get registered even though I've worked constantly as a nurse for over 20 years. Very frustrating!!
-
Received this from the NMC today. "Unfortunately a copy of your RN1 transcript could not be located; however I have included a copy of the EU Directive. This document outlines the successful training programme that you completed in order to be registered with this council." Had asked them for a transcript of my Nursing Degree as the uni transcript only stated pharmacology & they didn't hold any more info as I completed it back in 1991. Have no idea if this EU directive will state enough for Criteria 8. Will let you all know in due course incase anyone else is in the same boat.

Harby88 how long did it take the NMC to send on the info to AHPRA after you requested it?
-
I sent mine to Darwin in the hope that it isn't as busy.
-
I had an email from them on 5/3/14 saying they'd received my application & the money was taken the same day. I've asked my uni & NMC for further info to be sent to cover criteria 2,3 & 8 so now hoping they can do that & also hoping it doesn't get lost in transit.
