Toodolou Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 can anyone help ? ANMAC query ...my previous nursing post was surgical , and my current post critical care . Do i apply under 2 ANZSCO codes or just my current speciality . Do all references current and past have to refer to an ANZSCO code , So do i need to ask my previous boss to put down code for surgical nurse , and my current one critical care ? hope this makes sense.

Very few na's here and the ones that are either have to be student nurses or completed training. .its mostly all registered nurses or enrolled which you need to study for too...why dont you register with ahpra? You could get a support worker or mental health worker role outwith nursing..seen few casual positions for that type of thing.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was trying to see if the demand for childrens nursing is as popular as mental health please? And also does the salary differentiate much? Many thanks Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk now Free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi the code is for ANMAC only, I was coded aa Aged care but m AHPRA states Registred Nurse Divsion 1, think you just adjust CV accordingly depending on job your applying for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lounrich Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 i think everyone finds itu scarey at first ! i am only just starting to enjoy it now ~ just getting my head around all the medical devices and it scared me to death being left to look after them! its taking a while to get my ANMAC bits together , feel nervous asking my bosses for a prof ref after only being there 6 months. But going to bite the bullet and do it as cant wait to get to oz . we havent settled here since our reccie. well sounds like your doing great on IELTs already! I did find the reading the hardest . It was a very boring newspaper article and could not find the answer to the questions very easily , and i am quite a methodical person . i dont know if you are meant to guess the answers as some questions were a bit vague. i guess if you have time practising would be beneficial .. i worked a few nights prior and although had good intentions to have a practice i didnt as felt too tired. stay in touch , we can help each other along! BTW i really liked Brisbane , amazing city but i personally dont cope well with humidity. we didnt see the best of nsw either as there was lots of flooding and rain when we visited the east coast . Know what you mean Toodolou, I work in ITU, have just been there 6 months (went straight from qualifying) and am just building up the courage to ask for prof reference! Have my first IELTS booked for next week, just hoping I can get all 8's as I need the points for the 189 visa. Planning to head for northern NSW. I have done a bit of practice but the reading does seem the worst to me, I'm finding the answers are just not that clear, particularly where they make you give headings to the paragraphs, some are really vague! Hope you get on better with the general, i'll be doing that if I can't get all academic 8's on the first go :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colettemg123 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Good luck with your IELTS I am also planning on sitting it soon (need 8 to for PR) can you let me know how you get on ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bouncy Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Hi everyone, just wondering if someone could shed some light on this for me! I'm a bit stuck on what points I can claim for my qualifications, I have my nursing diploma from 10 years ago but more recently done the degree through cipd, it's in child health as I'm a paeds nurse. So can I claim the extra points for that degree or just my nursing diploma? Thanks to anyone who can help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A nurse answered that she was given 15 points for her diploma because when assessed by ANMAC it is assessed as equivalent to oz nurse degree. Therefore 15 pts. Hopefully a nurse will confirm this for you that has experience of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also looked at this as I have dip he and 2 degrees, Hoped I may get some extra points ( you can live in hope )! My understanding is you can only claim points once and that is for your highest qualification i.e degree 15 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colettemg123 Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Can I ask those who have sat IELTS if you need academic or general for PR visa? I need 8 in each for the points. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacticenurse Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 ANMAC req academic Ielts but for visa points they accept general & academic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding is you can only claim points once and that is for your highest qualification i.e degree 15 points. Thanks colettemg123, I just wondered if the degree was able to be used as it isn't a degree in nursing as such, so would I claim just 10 for the nursing diploma or 15 for my child health degree? It's all very confusing! Doesn't take much mind! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be nice if this degree was useful for something! ; ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nic1171 Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 I'm sure if its nursing orientated it should count! If you going through ANMAC for skills assessment they will verify whether it can be accepted. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah was a bit daunting going straight to ITU but going OK so far, have good days and bad, usually depends on what kinda patient I get! Love the NSW north coast, we went out last summer for a reccie but haven't set on a particular place, happy to be flexible and go where the jobs are. Hoping to get our visas sorted by next August, give us time to save some ££ and get some more work experience. I'm doing IELTS in Cardiff, good luck with the general Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
