flipflop00 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Hi, Yes I take your point - but why would they take just so long to make a decision based on something so elementary as not having a Degree - they have been asking me for extra evidence all the time (sylabus, etc...) all 37 pages etc... it is just weird I cant do the bridging program (even if I get that) - because of the cost and also because it seems you cant apply for a student visa either Is there anywhere I can find out about what NZ's requirements are please? ALso, does anyone know of any Diploma nurses that have recently succesfully achieved AHPRA registration please? I am waiting for AHPRA's decision since February. I am a Diploma nurse - and I am very worried because there seems to be some people being refused because they do not have a Degree. I got ANMAC acreditation (for degree) - but that aparantly does not count. And weirdly - I actually have a job waiting for me in Oz. And also, my agent who found the job for me seems to think I will get AHPRA. And yet if you look at this forum - it seems that Diploma nurses are being refused Can anyone help please?

jac2011 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 flipflop - you do not need to post the same posts on multiple threads relating to nursing. If your question is about AHPRA, then just add it to that thread and everyone will see it. As it stands, we get notifications that there are new posts on these threads and I am finding that it is the same post on multiple threads.

kyliedonut Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 As a student nurse with the option to exit the course after Year 3 with a degree, or Year 4 with honours. ...would you guys imagine an honours degree is probably the way to go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flipflop00 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Hi, It seems a Lawyer or someone is trying to build a case against AHPRA. But it is hard to know if it is a scam or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Roberto Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 All this Ahpra stuff seems like a real nightmare. my wife Nic @robley is about to send hers off. Does anyone have a checklist of essential things to get in tve Ahpra application to help make sure there are no problems? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jac2011 Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Mathew it appears that the issue lies with whether she was degree trained or diploma trained. It would appear that diploma trained nurses are being refused but told to go on and do a very expensive bridging program only available in Australia.

A nursing BA from Sheffield Hallam (1996) and a community nursing BSC from Uni of Wales in 2001 - It seems that the Sheffield Uni was so long ago, they don't have a transcript - but they are sending a syllabus directly to Ahpra. When we started looking Ahpra seemed to be a lot more straightforward (compared to Anmac), but now they seem to have added (even) more red tape to the whole process. We think we will plough on with the EOI whilst we wait for ahpra to come through. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahhemmac Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Hi all. Please could you advise me on what to do about indemnity insurance to practice. I was with the RCN in the UK . I am assuming I will need similar in Australia? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisH1 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Yes you do. The easiest way would be to join the state nurses union in which you intend to practice: QNU, ANF, etc. If you wish to take out private insurance, there are a few companies that offer it. Key features should be $20m in cover, with continuing cover should you change position, job, profession, or if you retire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morgana220 Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Thanks Kelly I am trying to work out if I could do a one year online degree. I already did 1/2 my degree a few years ago but my hubby (who was in the forces at the time) got posted away so I was not able to complete my last part....which I am kicking myself about now!!!!!! I can't afford to give up work to do it full time in 1 year and I don't have time on my side to do it over 2 years so panicking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kellyv Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Pointless response!! Aww I know its so stressful isn't? I'm not even sure they are going to accept my degree! I will be seriously hacked off if not! I nearly packed in mine on the dissertation it was so difficult with 2 young children and working fulltime as a band 7 dept lead. But I persevered - almost losing the plot in the process - to get that qualification and now I don't even know if it would have been worth it!! :'-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
