Hi there! We've just started to consider geraldton as a possible place we could live! I'm a nurse and I'm told the hospital there has jobs! So my queries are, does it get decent internet connection ? Enough for Skype? is it possible to get overseas deliveries like m&s and next? I know people get them in perth but just wanted to check! And would ikea charge an arm and a leg to deliver there? Is the cost of living on a par with perth suburbs? Any my more info greatly appreciated! Sorry if my questions seem a little silly, I really have no clue!! :-) thanks, bouncy x

AHPRA and why UK Diploma Nurses shouldn't bother applying
Bouncy replied to a topic in Careers and Vacancies
Hi there, I received my letter if eligibility from ahpra this week and I'm original dip he child, topped up with degree, bsc in child health, do it doesn't need to have nursing in the title, I was worried about that too xx -
Wow thanks jayz great advice!! If your not in recruitment maybe you should be!! Thanks again !
-
Hi guys, so I'm taking the plunge and entering the black hole that is AHPRA!!!! I'm compiling my cv (because they ask for it but probably don't look at it) and wondered do I need to include stuff like gcse results? Or just the nursing related quals? Also I've done the IELTS so do I need to fill in the education in English bit ? My school is gone now so couldn't get anything to prove I was taught in English!! Any advice much appreciated!!
-
Hi guys! Anyone know how long IELTS lasts for application to ahpra and visa? Say it last august so it's already been a year! God knows how long ahpra will take! Don't want to resit if I can help it !
-
Ok, thanks Kelly, let the madness commence!! X

Hi guys, just after some clarification! I'm hoping to go to perth so do I get my documents sent from anmac to the perth office? Or is there a central office everything gets sent to? I know I'm gonna be in for a long wait but at least I'll be in the queue!!
-
Hi guys! Well done bigmac that's great news! I'm about to get in line with ahpra to see if I can register before we go for the visa! Just wondered is there a central address to get anmac to send documents to or do I just get them sent to the perth office which is where we hope to go!
-
Agreed, as soon as my anmac comes back I'll be sending an e mail!! Not sure if this is helpful or just confirming what we know but I emailed a nursing recruitment and relocation agency in oz after seeing people asking them for info on bridging courses. That had a notice on their website stating dip he only nurses from uk should not make any irreversible plans at the minute as ahpra are refusing or referring theses nurses. I asked about those of us with a post grad degree and they said these have been fine just the dip he having problems. They also said how it will never work if they keep to this, and are in discussions with ahpra regarding this. They said most of the nurses they get are dip he so they won't fulfil their skills select quota with these rules in place so something has to change! Glad they agree!! Just thought I'd share!!

Ha, I just have all the pages open in my I phone so can flick through refresh and hope for good news! I'm disappointed a lot!
-
If anyone is entitled to have a rant it's everyone on this thread! I've become obsessed too with checking for updates! One day I'll hit thec refresh button to someone with the diploma saying they got their registration through! If only!!
-
Ahpra don't seem to know their a@#e from their elbow!! It's absurd! They surely can't do this! geordiegirl68 can't even imagine how you must be feeling! Paednurseclaire, yes it's a worry they'll change to something else ridiculous or immigration will stop nurses visas once the ahpra mess is sorted out!! Keep thinking where there's a will there's a way and all that! They've just made it all so much more difficult/impossible!!
-
Paednurseclaire, can't you do the remaining modules to complete your degree? I did mine through work so it was free! Only need 90 credits for bsc degree or 120 with honours! Your already half way! It's the most awful situation to dump on folk with no warning, everyone has invested so much in the process up to now, it's sooooo unfair! Dies anyone know exactly how long the bridging course lasts? I've read varying lengths, some 3 months. I'm just keeping everything crossed this whole thing comes together for everyone!!
-
Hi paednurseclaire, I'm in a similar boat! Paeds nurse dip he, have completed my post grad degree. Anmac due in any day now but don't know which step to take next! I'm thinking I'll apply for ahpra and if I don't get registered then game over, the cost and time it would take to do the bridging course would make the whole move just too difficult! Fingers crossed it doesn't come to that! Working on a plan b just in case!!: (
-
Surely if dip he nurses have done there practice development degree this must be ok? Can't imagine why it wouldn't be! But then can't imagine why a 3 year dip he wouldn't be good enough!
