Hi everyoneWell I applied for my registration at the beginning of March and after 6.5 months found out on Fri I also had been given my registration with 12 months supervised practice. After all these months of waiting I thought I would be ecstatic but I feel worse than ever! Especially as I had an interview beginning of July and the hospital have been patient in waiting for me. Now I am not sure if they will want me as I'm not going to help with the staff shortage. I feel this has made us un-employable. I'm going to speak to the manager tomorrow and see what she says but if it's a no I don't know what I will do. I wrote to Queensland health minister in regards to the ridiculous time frame we had to wait for registration. They were disgusted with AHPRA and said I should have my registration within a week, which I did. So I have wrote to him again on behalf of all us midwives who will struggle for employment with these restrictions. I also emailed the woman at the bottom of the AHPRA letter! If everyone emails such people surely they will have to change the restrictions. I expected 6-12 Wks not 12 months! Well I hope everyone has luck in their quest for a job!
