So..... Have a friend who is a paramedic who wants to go to Oz. I want to help her but as I'm a nurse it looks like things are done a bit different for them? Does anyone one know who, what, where or how to go around it? Any links I can pass on for her. To be honest I haven't looked very hard but I though I would give it a go by asking you all! Please help elm my friend is desperate to get out of the U.K. And I want to help her as much as I can. Cheers ??

HI, I am a registered UK nurse who at present has been refused nursing registration in OZ (but a bridging programme offer). But my question is has anyone looked at going into the enrolled nurse route? I have my PR but have been unable to make the journey because of this. I am currently on a Post grad dip course which should top me up to level 8 when I have passed the course. Once the course has finished I want to get out there as quick as possible but I know that it takes at least 6 weeks for them to make a decision about this. So I thought of looking into the enrolled nurse while waiting for all my certs and other things to be released so then I can apply for full registration. So........ 1, has anyone got an enrolled nurse registration 2, Did it take long? 3, If and when you received your quals how long did it take to change your registration? Its very though provoking and I cant find much info on it. Also I have lots of work on and I need to get this Post Grad Dip out the way to. I really want to get out there and start my new life even if that means starting a bit further down the line until I can get all the criteria met. If anyone can enlighten me with any information of where to look/what to do it would be amazing. Cheers and a merry Christmas ~

I wouldn't bother putting placements had while as a student as they don't count this. Working after qualifying counts. I've been through the process and they are not interested in student time. Working as a qualified nurse is what they are looking at with experience.

Thats right and that's position I'm in now. Just needing to know how long it takes if we where in the country with all paperwork in hand!

All ready applied for registration and got declined but was offered the bridging course which I worked out as approx £6000 for a 12 week course which I though was a bit steep. Managed to get on a course for my PGDip was very lucky! I did go into the offices while we where over there and they did say that it shouldn't take as long as I'm already on the system but I really don't want to wait that long I want to be out there for Christmas next year! Any help would be great

Hi everyone, i have a question? Has anyone got there PR and moved to oz and then got there registration? I have my PR and am currently doing a PGDip as my diploma isn't enough for registration. If so how long did it take? Did you discover any problems? We want to leave as soon as I have finished this course but I don't want to get there and be stuck for months while waiting for it to come through. Any suggestions on help or advice would be great thanks ?
