Great update lbaker,

I got through ahpra and ANMAC with a PG Dip no problems so don’t let it stop you. 

Started off the process in April 2018 and took around 8 months in total! 

Hey that is encouraging news!

I have a Psychology degree and did a post graduate diploma in mental health nursing.

Wanting to apply for aphra but put off by the uncertainty that my qualifications will be recognised.

Any tips? What was your experience?

Hi guys, I'm a newbie here so apologies if someone has already asked this question! I'm an adult nurse with a postgraduate diploma - in other words I did my psychology degree and then completed my nursing qualification for 2 years. There is no such thing as topping up to a BSc for me, if I were to top up I would get a masters (no bad thing but I'm not ready for more study just yet!). I suppose my question is if there are any other PGDip nurses here who have successfully passed APRAH? My application is with them now. Noone seems to know if the same rules apply to PGDips as Dip HE :wacko:

Hey. So I did similar to what you did, Bsc (Hons) in Psychology and then Post Graduate Dipolma in Mental Health Nursing.

I want to apply to the APRAH but need clarification as to whether they would accept my qualifications.

From the response below I'm assuming they do not which is absolutely ridiculous!

I have 9 years experience too.

I have a post graduate diploma in mental health nursing as well as a BSc hons in Psychology.

I know dipolma level may be below level 7 but post graduate diploma from information I read is different to normal diploma?

Not sure?

Hey all.

So I live in England as a qualified mental health nurse for 9 years.

I have a BSc (hons) degree in Psychology. Then completed a Post graduate diploma in mental health nursing.

I have been practicing for 9 years.

Will my BSc degree in Psychology meet the Aphra qualification requirements as I do not have a degree in nursing?

Thanks
