Johndoe Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 To Willie G. Hello, I hope your plans are going well. The majority of Nurses here are the same age as your wife. Oz would be lucky to have such a highly qualified Nurse . Shift times are 7am -3pm , 2pm -10pm . 7 -7PM .I really wish they were 8am starts much more civilised like back home. Best of luck with all Mgt Not exactly true, particularly with the night shift, at least in my neck of the woods in the public sector. The private sector appear to be a "law unto themselves". Wards (Nums) can accomodate their staff start and finish times, to a certain extent as long as the ward is covered and staff can "work it between themselves" to acheive this goal. 12hr nights are practically abolished in the public sector for safety reasons, and 10 till 7.30 (or therabouts) is the norm.

Mirmai Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Hi all, just checking my documents before getting them certified, but my agent has listed "employment statements". Do I need these if my manager has listed my dates of employment on my professional reference? Also, i requested my uni to send my course transcripts directly to ANMAC, but haven't heard anything back, is this usual? or will they just send it automatically without updating me? Thanks for any info x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshleneLouise Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 hi i stumbled across this thread and i see you all have a wave of experience, I am a student nurse due to qualify in march with a band 5 nursing job on a haemotolgy ward. My boyfriend of 2 years had a working visa at the start of our relationship and we would love to go out to perth and immigrate. i have been in touch with the austrailian equivelent of the NMC and they didnt really give much information just that i can apply for my registration after working three months paid as a band 5 .. as i didnt get much from them i decided to email western austrailian board direct who said after 12 months i can join the nursing bank but are really looking for 2 years. im getting told so many different things from different people i decided to apply online just to see if i could qualify for a visa. I put in the visa i had 12 months experience and it got granted. All this is just confusing so thought id just ask for help ... any advice???? :wacko: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VANESSA1974 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Hi everyone I am 38 years old and have been nursing for 20 years (including 3 years training). I am married to Ian who is a paramedic and we have 2 daughters age 7 and 5. We are awaiting the 189 permanent skilled independent visa. Have medicals next week. We are heading to Geelong in Victoria pending jobs of course. Once we have the visa the plan is to put our house on the market and take it from there. My first experience of Australia was between 1982-1984 (age 7) when my parents immigrated on an 'assisted package'. we lived in Geelong, Victoria and Adelaide. I then went back age 18 for 6 months and back packed. Our last trip was in 2008 with the girls and we loved it! It was then we made the decision to go but unfortunately my mum got sick and sadly died last september. I had already been skills assessed, police checked etc so it was just a case of lodging and paying ($3000!) for our visa. I am currently working as an emergency nurse practitioner and have a total of 14 years ED experience. Struggling to find a suitable job in Victoria at the moment so any suggestions would be appreciated!! Good luck everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vivi Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Hi Vanessa, just noted you are looking for a job after moving to Geelong, ever thought of prison nursing, prison right up the road for you at Lara, called Marngoneet and next door is Barwon. With your background would be ideal and jobs are always available. PM me if you need more info' Vi:jiggy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Statements like that can not only destroy someone's dreams, but their financial security and their personal relationships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeybee Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Hi folks, Now I've got my IELTS in the bag, the next step for me is ANMAC. However, I'm coming up against a few hurdles when getting the 'Statements of Service' from past employers. One of them was in the correct format, but was signed by an HR assistant, not Manager, whereas the other is from the right person but doesn't give a description of my role! How have other fared in this arena? Has anybody had their ANMAC application rejected due to the odd minor error on Statements of Service? Conversely, has anybody submitted ANMAC app with any of the above errors and had it accepted? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nic1171 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Hi Joeybee I submitted mine and not really sure if they were in correct format but have been accepted. However I had to have professional references to support these statements going back 10 year, Im just waiting for final one. They were stricter on these ie my manager had signed that she was the business lead and ANMAC queried whether she was an RGN as that is required. All very complicated for what should be an easy proces! Good luck Nicola Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kylel39 Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Hello everyone, My Girlfirend (22) and I (23) are planning on making the move out to Australia later this year. Due to various reasons I think we're going to come out on a WHV and then ideally look for sponsorship for her. Anyway, she's a nurse and in September time will have 2 years Post Graduate experience. She's worked in Specialist Services and Rehabilitation for the NHS. She is currently working in a ENT surgical ward and really enjoys this line of work (Surgical). Basically what we were wanting to know is what exactly it is she would be required to have in order to gain a sponsorship once over there or arranging something prior to arriving? Would it be best for her to sit her IELTS, register with APHRA and have a medical inc chest xray all over here prior to arranging anything? Or is other better solutions? Oh and we certainly plan to stay....at least for 2+ years and take it from there (reckon we'll end up staying of course). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

aaronc Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Hi all. I'm new to this so apologies if its already been covered - I just can't seem to find the answer anywhere. My partner is a nurse and she has received her APHRA registration (with the minimum of fuss!?!) and we are hoping to get sponsorship on a 457. If we opt to go for a state/regional sponsorship though instead, does she then need to do a skills assessment with the ANMAC (which then includes getting L7 on the IELTS) or do they accept the APHRA registration as demonstration of her skills? Any help with this is appreciated. Also, if anyone knows of any areas in Aus that are actively looking for nurses (general/acute) at the moment it would be appreciated so we can narrow down the hunt for vacancies.

Beachdreamer75 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Hi I'm Doreen. I have been qualified 3 years and am currently looking for a surgical nursing position in either Sydney or Brisbane. I have my Aussie nurse registration and am hoping to get a 457 sponsored visa. Im single and coming over on my own so hopefully this site will allow me to have any questions that I have answered!! I'm a bit apprehensive about moving over on my own but sure I will meet lots of people when I come over. What is the nurse patient ratio like in the public hospitals? What are the shifts like, ie hours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nic1171 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Hi Aaronc I believe so as the state/regional is PR which does mean skills assessment, I dont mind being corrected if this is not so!. If you have time I would certainly recommend holding out for PR as there appears to be more benfits and not tied to one employer. The IELTS isnt as bad as it seems it just needs you to practise and Im sure the level 7 would be achievable enough. Good luck Nicola Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

george106 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Hi guys, just question about medicals. We are about to book our medicals and found out there is not test for hep B or C required for nurse even thought medical staff usually need to have one. Is it just because we apply for 189 visa or did they make mistake in our skillselect? Thanks George Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks George Hi, that`s definitely wrong, nurses need test for hepatitis B, C and HIV, also a chest X ray and urine test ( urinalysis only I believe). Just did mine last July. I would contact the clinic, they are familiar with the process and hopefully will be able to advise you. Good luck :wubclub: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
