I Just sent my course transcript which contained all theory topics/hours studied and clinical placements/hours plus exam results etc. I can't think of anything else you could add to be honest. Maybe try to phone them (laughing hysterically as I type) and ask to clarify...also for an extension if needed.

[TD]The education institution that provided the program of study, and confirmed your qualification, has certified that you have successfully completed an assessment in medication management including drug calculation, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics (if this information is not included in the academic transcript).

See Fact sheet - IQNM criterion 8: registered nurse and midwife.[/TD]

[TD]Make sure your education institution provides AHPRA with the necessary information. [/TD]

[TD]Certification from your education institution, provided directly to AHPRA, that you successfully completed your course of study which covered medication management including drug calculation, pharmacokinetics(the study of the bodily absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of drugs and pharmacodynamics (the study of the biochemical and physiological effects of drugs and the mechanisms of their action in the body). [/TD]

everything it says on the tin! you might need to give blood...or organs! I asked a uni tutor for a letter stating all relevant information re cr8 as AHPRA weren't happy with just my transcript for this criterion. I also asked NMC to forward all nursing records they had.

The AHPRA email should cover you as I am Oct 13 applicant too. I got an automated reply.

I managed to get hold of a senior registration officer at AHPRA yesterday. Only took 4 weeks! Apparently my application has been completed its assessment with AHPRA and now forwarded to NMBA for decision. I asked if that means my DipHe qualification was insufficient for registration with AHPRA and the NMBA would assess suitability for bridging "yes" I was then told that AHPRA don't provide a decision on registration, only a recommendation to NMBA based on their assessment, and that NMBA make the decision to register,refuse or refer for bridging. My application will be assessed on 7th Aug...hope they mean this year ....:rolleyes: and I will have a final decision two weeks later (ish)

Maybe we should be asking What is Happening with PIO???? members posts have been removed and it seems whole pages have vanished??

I am hoping to hear something this week/early next week. They set a deadline of 19th Jun to make a decision on my case, (they chose to extend the assessment period). They haven't contacted me to extend it again....yet! but as it is tomorrow, I am hoping this will be result time.

I am hoping for a yes, expecting a no and a suggestion of bridging :wacko:

Funny enough, I was contacted by AHPRA yesterday asking form my transcript....again. This will be the fourth time it has been sent to them since Nov 13. Funny how they confirmed all my stuff arrived last month and now it is mysteriously lost???

Hi yeah you are pretty in my situation. I applied in september though. I had a problem with criteria 8. they kept asking for it than I told them to check the detailed transcript I sent the first time (which I could not see because it was sent from uni and I did not see it) and there was a whole page describing pharmacology. They overlooked it they said. Anyway I think the timelines are strange.

 

So where are you living in Melbourne? I am on the west side. If you dont mind me asking how did you find a PCA job? It seems its difficult to find a job when you are qualified as a nurse here and without registration.

Hi, I always say Melbourne but we are on the peninsular in Frankston. I applied for a couple of pca jobs at local aged care facilities. Had an interview last week and start on Monday. I had to provide my training cert and transcripts I also gave them a copy of ANMAC letter stating my qualification was assessed and equal to Aus qualification. They were happy to take me as a PCA on a casual basis, but so far it looks like 20+ hrs per week. The hope being that I stay on once my Div 1 is through. If it ever actually goes through.

I qualified in 01 so my uni didn't have much information available when I approached them about the new criterions. They managed to organise basic course details and a senior lecturer prepared a letter detailing what the course content should have included. I also got NMC to forward all course details they had. Doubt I have enough to cover the dreaded cr 8 ??? oh well!

The last letter stated they applied an extension to my application assessment..... mid June 14. I am guessing they are going to wait until the set date before contacting me with a decision.

application sent Nov 13, CR info request Mar 14... deadline Apr 14....decision deadline Jun 14

I have been living in Melbourne since April while waiting for the decision. I have managed to get casual work as a PCA meantime, this is torture.

I have looked into additional training...immunisations/sexual health etc thinking I could do further education while waiting....I intend to do these courses regardless.....but they won't allow me to enrol until I am registered with AHPRA *sigh*

I contacted ANMAC directly to ask what level my Uk Diploma was assessed at. (qualified 2001)

their response:

Your qualification has been found equivalent to an Australian bachelor degree which it a level 7.

fingers crossed then :-)

Hi, I submitted to AHPRA Nov 13 and feel like we are in limbo.

My ANMAC states that my diploma (completed 2001) is equivalent to an Australian Bachelor Degree.

I don't know if it meets AQF level 7 http://www.aqf.edu.au/aqf/in-detail/aqf-levels/ which would pass

or level 6 http://www.aqf.edu.au/aqf/in-detail/aqf-levels/ which would require bridging courses

As far as I understand it Diploma nurses are accepted but may require further study before full registration is granted
