Hi everyone!
Hope anyone could help me out on this. I'm an overseas nurse with 3 years and 1 month post grad paid work experience: 3 months in the medical surgical area, 1 month in ICU and 2 years and 9 months in CCU (the most recent) all in one hospital.
I'm planning to lodge my anmac skills assessment and hopefully the skillselect real soon. I know it is required to have at least 3 years work experience to be qualified for these. But I'm a bit confused as to which anzsco code to use. Is it the ANZsco code 254415 (RN for critical care and emergency)? I've read in the skilllselect section that you are to nominate a code for a skilled occupation/closely related skilled occupation for a period of at least 3 years of employment. In my case, if I choose 254415, I hadn't reached 3 years in it. Would it be advisable to have the code 254418 (RN - Medical) instead so my whole 3 years and 1 month of experience would be covered for the points system?
Hoping for any advice. Thanks!
