Molly35 Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 HiI got my ward manager to sign mine, was a print out from my health boards online training system which documents any study time I have had. I also included a statement from myself repeating study day info and detailing what i thought my learning outcomes had been, and time I had spent mentoring and teaching. was a bit worried about it, but am now registered so must have been okay. cheers Gill x Hey Gill Thank you so much for replying to my post I have spent my week off from work typing up evidence, I basically stated what the learning activity was, the dates and how many hours it took me. I was lucky to be a student mentor from Jan - March so counted that as a lot of hours, also my student very kindly wrote me a reference/statement about me. I basically typed up 10 pages of work with learning outcomes and what I thought I gained from my learning, I even put in mandatory stuff like manual handling, infection control IV theory and I am above 20 hours, so am hoping that this will be sufficient. You have given me reassurance I am on the right track and will get the ward manger to sign it this week.:biggrin: x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dolly d Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Hi I am mental health nurse and I have sent my application for registration to AHPRA a few weeks ago. I am bound for Tasmania. Can't wait, neither can my husband and three kids. Happy days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JamieMac78 Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Hello all. Would anybody be able to advise...? My wife is currently putting in the application for the registration to the AHPRA as a midwife, and she's just been offered a job in Melbourne (Southern Health). The thing is though, we were hoping to get some help with the relocation costs and Southern Health haven't actually offered anything. We were mainly hoping for the cost of the flights to be reimbursed, as this would help massively in us being able to move out there by the end of this year (family of 4). Does anybody know if hospitals in Melbourne offer help with the relocation costs? Any advice would be really appreciated. We're going to the London Expo in a couple of weeks so hope to find out some info there too. Cheers. Jamie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it work related, the reason you are leaving? We are in the middle of the this whole process, moving from scotland to Australia. We have picked Perth, but have no real grounds for our choice. More for my husbands job in telecoms really. Donna x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brit Girl Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Hi Donna, I have a brother in Sydney and he's been there nine years and loves it. I came to Perth last year after I gained a job within Child Health (so didn't specifically choose to come to Perth other than the job was here). Perth is lovely for families as it is quiet, laid back and family orientated whereas for singletons like myself (who are looking for a new social life) there's not a lot going on and if you go out for a meal or a drink it's double the price of Sydney.It is quite hard to make friends here as it takes time to network, so many Brits stick together in places like Armadale, Rockingham or up on the coast near Hilary's Harbour.They also meet up at the Brits meet up club (see internet for details). W.A also seems to be quite conservative on it's outlook, can be racist, not noted for their hard work or inovation and 30 years behind the UK plus there is no vibe, buzz or culture here and career progression epecially within my career of community nursing is limited. The positives are that families seem to have a better lifesyle here as activities for the kids are free eg parks, beach etc. Fresh produce is readily available, weather is good and mums are encouraged to be housewives or work part time in order to be with the children while the men go and earn the cash either in the city or in the mines. Marriage, stability and family life is encouraged here.If you have a mortgage there is no snobbery attatched to home ownership so many families just rent til they get on their feet. Most people drive new cars as the price difference between second hand and new is minimal. This is a small snap shot of how I have found Perth and I have tried to give you a balanced picture and it is only my opinion but another person may have a different view. I hope this helps you to make your mind up to where you want to settle? Debs x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brit Girl Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Hi amanda12, I came out to Perth a year ago and chose to freeze my NHs pension and rent out my flat just in case I decided I wasn't going to stay long term in Australia.It's up to you what you want to do?

I am married with a little girl who is 4, and work part time at the moment. I am hoping to work part time in Perth, and let my hubby work full time! Probably gonna have to rent for a bit before we buy too. Am searching for a relaxed family life where we can spend time doing stuff as a family, so that all sounds encouraging!

Brit Girl Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Hi Donna, glad I could help and give you a snap shot of what Perth is like. For you and your family it will be perfect and you will all love it as it is very family friendly. Whatever you and your family decide you'll never regret coming over whether your plans are short or long term.

Brit Girl Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Hi Amanda, my Australian supa fund/company is Gesby as I work for Riverlands Health Service. On my last statment it said they are about to launch their transferral of UK pension funds policy from the Uk to Oz. But have read that people on this forum have transferred their Uk pensions to Oz quite easily. So it can be done. Good luck with whatever you decide.

yorkcath Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Could someone give me some advice please? I've had my application assessed and I've got to provide a satisfactory statement of service for the last 5 years. Well I thought I'd already done this and I don't know what was unsatisfactory about them. Where it says 'describe the role in which you were employed', do they want a full job description? My current employer has just written that I'm employed 'as a nurse on a haemodialysis unit', and my last one wrote a full job description. It's impossible to get hold of my link officer, short of staying up all night and calling every hour! Because I qualified in 1990 I only hold a certificate in nursing but have 20+ years of experience. The only diploma study I have is a leg ulcer course with 100 hours of study (they've asked for a breakdown of this). Will this be enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would your current manager sign a CV for you that covers everything you have done over the past 5 years. For each job you have had you could write a short piece describing the role you did. It might be also worth sending a copy of your job description along with your starment of service from your current job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdk43 Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Hiya, Hope someone can help, I am hoping to have my Skills Assessment looked at shortly. Apparently, there are about 400 in front of mine!! When I phoned the other night, the lady on the phone was checking that all my paperwork was there, and said that they are still missing my inital nurse registration statement. I have not got this, but had the NMC send them the verification that I am on the register for the £34! They have this! She kept mentioning that they need this inital registration letter, so my question is, what did you all do? Did anyone not have this inital registration letter, and still pass the skills assessment. The NMC said they cannot send out one now. Thanks in Advance, Donna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lil Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Hi All I'm a learning disability nurse (developmental disability nurse) hoping to emigrate to Adelaide. I was just wondering if there was any other LD nurses on here? Also can anyone recommend a nursing immigration agent to sign up to? I have found lots of recruitment agencies that help you find a job but up to now none that will help with the visa process etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fluxsta Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Phone them is the best thing, once I got a job they started to speed it up after I had faxed the Ozzie contract. Running at 5 months processing time I am advised.... patience is a virtue with these things. AHPRA is processing over 100,000 registrations this year! thanks Could anyone tell me how long it takes to get your registration with AHPRA? They've had my application for 2 months and they haven't taken the money from my account yet. It's so fustrating! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if that is true or not, just what I was told. Maybe you need to have a nursing degree if you are using that job as an empoyed visa? Am sure you will find work i have not seen any adverts staing that you need so many years nurse experience. Sorry can't be of more help.

traceyd Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Hi Donna, I have just read that you need your initial registration letter for the skills assessment, did you get it all sorted? I know on the page on NMC website about getting verification for overseas, it mentions a link if you don't have a statement of entry, hopefully you can get one through this link. Good luck, hopefully it won't be long now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
