thankyou.. I need to check the immunization req's again.. planning to get into IHNA's intake for feb

[jmolina1985]

You know, if I get the letter by January, I will most definitely be on Mar 30 intake for IHNA Melbourne.

IHNA just needs your letter from ahpra and initial payment for them to give you your COA. They are very fast. After a minute I sent them my documents online someone from their dept called me right away for the interview, offer letter, method of payment, etc..

You can make it this feb

Ba5ty: I am already with IHNA. I was supposed to do the BP last year but I could not defer from uni and I didn't have the funds. I used my previous LoE to secure a slot with them. All things considered, I decided to go for March intake to save enough in terms of maintaining rent here in Geelong and paying for accommodation in Melbourne + day to day expenses, plus I just have to go home. Homesickness is wearing me out pretty bad.

If I cant make it this feb (visa + medical est 6 weeks) I will go for the March intake.. fingers crossed

I am very optimistic you'll get here on time :) My sister received her visa in just 6 days. Goodluck!

A hep B titter is as good as a vaccine certificate :) My school accepted it and when I started working the staff clinic was happy to have it as proof of my immunity level.

Hello! What are the latest requirements for AHPRA? Can someone please tell me the complete list because I don't have an agent? Thank you so much in advance.

Kindly Google the form AGOS-40. It would have all the info you need. Also, have a look at AHPRA's website and study the standards for IQNM applications. Don't bother with standadd 2 & 3 as the Philippine system did not meet these criteria.

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year. May our LoEs come soon and may the visas be granted without delay. :)

Happy Holidays my fellow Nurses! Let's continue to pray for our LOEs and Visas! I hope to meet you all in Australia someday.
