hello, please help..i only have 1 year work experience but in the baranggay clinic only at full-time, is it acceptable for ahpra registration, Thanks a lot for considering my question..i tried to email ahpra but no direct answer,thanks again..

[chelseaxyrene]

nope, regardless the date of your cancellation

Its non refundable. One of the member here applied in ihna ang paid the enrolment fee then trasferred to ltu. She was.not able to get a refund

I think it's acceptable.It doesn't matter what is the nature of your work as long as it is related to nursing and you can provide proof of employment.

email the one who sent you the offer letter form.. then she will verify it to their bank and thus will send you couple of emails like your username and password for the online course, invoice, receit etc..

IHNA has different departments and once the Accounts dept has received your invoice, you will be given your username and initial password.

That's too selfish of her.It should be issued regardless of the lenght of your employment.After all,you deserve it.It's just a proof that you've been employed with them.Anyway,clarify from APHRA,ask them through the web inquiry.They do respond quickly,within 2 business days.

This is a real sad truth. Hospitals usually do not issue a Certtificate of employment for those who have not completed 2 years as agreed upon in their contract. I encountered the same but I managed to request a good friend in HRD who did it for me. If you have friends at the higher rank whom you can ask for to signify that indeed you've been employed, you may do so. Also, include your specific duties and responsibilities as RN staff nurse.

hi.. I just wanna ask how many call interview you have to receive before you can have your offer letter?? tnx

[aubreyR]

I hope somebody can enlighten me with this. In the reference letters that you secured, what was written? - staff nurse, staff registered nurse or registered staff nurse? (aside from the position indicated as full-time). Somebody help me please so I can have my documented corrected before submitting it. Thanks in advance :)

i think that the Certificate of Good Standing is still part of the requirements of AHPRA, it was even part of the incomplete docs that my case officer asked from me to complete my application

based on my experience, just go to PRC, fill the application form(you can check PRC's website for the application form, or get it when you get there), buy a metered stamp and envelope(can't remember which type of envelope), request for the document, then mail it to the same address where you sent your application.. the certificate costs around PHP 75.. mailing it from DHL costs PHP 1000+..

It is a part of the requirements, and I'd rather send it sooner rather than later. Thanks a lot @teyang! :)

Ah ok.Probably that's the reality now to keep nurses from escaping right after getting licensed.I even heard that the government requires a 2-year service before going out of the country.But perhaps it depends on the circumstances,that is,if they can get hold of you before you can escape.I have a cousin with no experience at all and was allowed by poea to work overseas.
