    Helllo!! its been a while since i last visited this forum.. And i totally understand how you feeling we're on te same boat! It's like i wanted to start my dream as soon as possible

    By the way, im in the process of acquiring my experience.. i just sit the ielts last july 21 and got my result few days ago and thank God! I got more than what i needed!! Cheers!

    Yes yes! I've been looking for a lot of schools that offer BP.. there were a lot actually.. Buh to mention a few, they are CON, La trobe, UniSa, IHNA, ETEA, Deakin, William light, Acfe i really really really wanted to lodge my application to ahpra as soon as possible, but my zero experience would not allow me!
    Hi! That's great! At least you've already taken the first step. Before you lodge your application to AHPRA, how many months of hospital experience do you plan to acquire first?


    I am really having second thoughts on whether to start the process right away (even with zero experience) or to gain experience first. By doing the former, i'll be slimming my chances of getting into a bp school and being employed after. Also, i feel that being too young and clinically incompetent may pose more problems in the future. I don't want to waste my mother's hard-earned money. I'll be risking too much. On the other hand, if i wait for perhaps 1-2 years, i may have become more clinically competent but all vacancies have all been filled up already, costs will be more expensive (i've read that the tf's are drastically increasing each year. Yikes!) and Australia might be imposing more strict rules. I'm afraid that all the waiting and preparation will just be put to waste.

    This is really very difficult. I hope i could make up my mind soon, and that such decision will be the right one. I'm just glad that I have the chance to talk to people like you who share similar situations with me. Just keep us updated. By the way, congrats on your IELTS! Thats the start of the good things to come. Yey!

    Hi,I'm still waiting for my LOE from AHPRA and I just have a couple of questions that I've been wanting to ask:1. I'm eyeing to take my BP, if I ever do, somewhere in NSW, however, it seemed that the schools that I had been looking into require at least 2 years of hospital experience to which, I'm afraid, I am under qualified. Could anyone give a list of schools in NSW that offers BP for overseas applicants with less that 2 years hospital experience?2. I was also considering the possibility of taking a short course in Nursing (If my AHPRA application would be rejected/dismissed) other than ARNTP. Is that possible?
    when did you apply in ahpra?

    I (c/o mother) lodged my application at AHPRA-VIC last 28 June 2012. I just received my letter today, 31 July 2012.

    I have to say I didn't expect such a swift response from them.

    I didn't hire the services of an agency/consultancy firm, because I decided to cut costs and apply by myself. Indeed, I spent so much time, money and effort to complete the documents. It wasn't a joke gathering, requesting, photocopying and certifying the requirements! I honestly thought that AHPRA will still request for more documents, but thank goodness I got through the entire process without question.

    I know this is just the start but I'm so grateful to my family for supporting my plans, to the forumers here in allnurses.com for giving advice, and of course to God for giving me this wonderful, wonderful blessing!
    may i know the courier you used to send the docs?

    Hi question; is it true that your ielts must be valid during the registration after your bp or it doesn't matter anymore since you already took the bp? Thanks

    It matters. You should have a valid ielts upon registration after you took the BP.
