Paednurseclaire Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 It sure is Kellyv back to the drawing board! At least it's quite early on in the process, every cloud eh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bouncy Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Hi paednurseclaire, that's rubbish about your references! I waited what seemed like ages to get mine written, not sure I could cope with having to get them rewritten! Think out assessments must be in the same pile! This has to be he most stressful bit!!!!!!

titan11 Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Hi Titan11,How did things go with the shadow Health Minister? Hi Bigmac The details where sent and I received an acknowledgement, but nothing has come through yet. I was expecting something to come through last night. I plan to call tonight again? Seven Jones MP emailed via twitter and he is now looking into it, so I will call him in the morning to findout if he has made any progress.

Hi KellyV What other information are they asking for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellyv Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Hi Titan. They have sent an 8 page document asking me to send proof of 3 further criteria on my diploma and approx 6 other various criteria on my nursing degree to prove it is equivalent to an Aus degree. (when anmac have already approved it). They have had all the transcripts etc already plus extra documentation on pharmacology etc. I think I will have to phone someone and get Anmac to send my file aswell even though I resent everything!! #stressed:mad: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kellyv Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 I think they have lost some of my stuff -probably between Melbourne and Sydney. They have already had what they are re requesting. Why not just tell all International applicants to post direct to NSW. Things are bound to go missing in transit! Grrrr!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ned Kelly Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 The thing that puzzles me is the fact anmac keep approving people whilst the folk at ahpra seem to be making a hash of things. They are also very sharp at taking the $$$$$$ from your bank account. If they do start refusing applications australia will be awash with IQNM with permanent residency, what a foookin joke.

kellyv Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Exactly Ned! How bloody ridiculous is that! Loads of nurses that can't work! They need to get their act together! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kandenna Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 I am currently under review with the AHPRA to be endorsed as a NP to work in Australia. Does anyone know if I have to apply with the ANMAC as well? If so, is the process as exhausting as the AHPRA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titan11 Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 I received a reply from AHPRA and it is disappointing as it seems that the whole system is meant to frastrate UK applicants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tracyscotland Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Kellyv Funny enough, I was contacted by AHPRA yesterday asking form my transcript....again. This will be the fourth time it has been sent to them since Nov 13. Funny how they confirmed all my stuff arrived last month and now it is mysteriously lost???

ceridwyn Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 ANMAC will be align with AHPRA real soon on the grapevine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellyv Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Ok guys...here is the latest info. I called Ahpra in Sydney at 3am uk time as I couldn't sleep and spoke to a sensible guy who looked into the additional requests. It seems that if like me, you topped up your diploma with modules and a research dissertation this is lost in translation and appears to confuse them. If you have Diploma alone or Degree alone it seems more straightforward. :banghead: I have been advised to write a cover letter explaining this but still need to supply transcripts - again (?) and accreditation verification from NMC. Also the Uni have to fill out some additional templates verifying study course, dates etc!! More duplication. Anyway I do feel better having spoke to someone but I still have no idea if this will suffice. Also - I have been in contact with Anmac and they say they have discussed IQMN with Ahpra and NSW is only dealing with the qualification aspect of the application process. More conflicting information! So I am also going to send my LOD to Ahpra so they can see Anmac have approved it and hopefully they will start singing from the same hymn sheet! If you are correct Ceridwyn then things should improve in the future. So guys....keeping positive - we'll get there eventually!! :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
