QUOTE "I also need to get professional references from each employer in the past three years for NMAC/DIAC. So far I've contacted two managers to request this. I'm not telling my current employer about my intended move till the latest possible time, so I've not asked there yet. I have a feeling that waiting for all the references to arrive in the post may take some time. Have others found this?" Hi Joeybee I had a similar situation, I've worked mainly for an agency and although I could get a reference signed by an RN (as the Director of the agency is an RN) they couldnt comment on my competence as a nurse as they obviously hadnt seen me work (they just sent me out to hospitals). I rang ANMAC and they told me that I would need to get references from the Nurse Managers from some of the places I'd worked as an agency nurse. I sent of my ANMAC application in January...havent heard anything yet so not sure if the references were enough. Maybe email ANMAC explaining your situation and see what they say? Nerys

Your right, you dont need a visa for registration with AhPRA

I got a statement of service from the HR dept so didnt need to go through the Nurse Manager. It had to say how long I had been working as a Registered Nurse, it also stated how many hows a week I had worked and had to be signed by the HR manager. However this was when I registered with WA and they were quite specific about what was to be included - not sure how it works with AHPRA sorry x

I was wondering about this aswel...but I dont think it'll count as it has to be experience in the occupation you've nominated i.e Registered Nurse...so pre-reg experience prob wont count.......hope someone proves me wrong tho as then I can apply
