    AHPRA is a registration body. There are no tactics involved. The fact is their job is to assess if you are suitable to be a nurse in Australia.

    PRC is the registration body in the Philippines. They don't create jobs for nurses there do they?

    Schools that accept overseas applicants for BP are just that - schools. They won't find you work once you finish your BP.

    hello, with regards to the IHNA interview, topics will be based on you line of expertise. If your on surgical nursing, you will be asked to discuss one or more surgical cases you have handled. Its up to you to maximize your time to their satisfaction. Just be stay relax and focus and be yourself. Good luck.

    Hi tokiya! It's nice to know that someone who signed up with philman is in this thread. I too signed up with them and like you received the confirmation of receipt from AHPRA. Can you pm me your contact number so we can update each other God bless us all!
    hi jamic and tokiya, i also signed up with philman. when did they send yours? mine was sent just last april 10, and no, no letter of confirmation yet (no surprise in that). im just glad i found you guys. feels more real now than when i was preparing my papers. wonder if we will be in the same intake, fine by me if i go much later. hehe. but i'd love to hear from you. btw, i have a friend who's already in melbourne under pmi too.

    been reading back from this thread for a while. wow, so far, this is the most helpful thread i've found. and that's thanks to all of you guys. Godspeed! *waiting in faith*:spin:

    That's my point AHPRA is a government registration body they are fully aware with thousands of registration queing up w/out counting their new graduates to be prioritized in landing a job & yet I repeat they still accepting reg. application. They are biting off more than they could chew. I know a friend from UK after receiving her LOE last month went straight to claim her registration with AHPRA perth office at the same time hunting for a job, to her dismay she went back to UK empty handed despite her 10 yrs plus of experience under her belt. according to her Australia is a very beautiful place but job wise it's getting tougher. it's very simple they are taking advantage of the situation ripping people including me. For them business is good & money is pouring in. I hope somebody from oz who undergone the same process & doing well dispute this claim to give us hope. Kindly bear with me coz i'm one of you waiting almost 8 months now docs received August 2011 AHPRA-WA final approval last Feb. Have faith our time will come. God bless to all.

    It is your belief that AHPRA should be a regulating how many nurses are working in Australia, if there are plenty in the country already.

    I then propose that the nurses boards should stop registering nurses, in the United States, the Nursing council in the UK, the Canadian nursing boards and most of all the PRC in the Phillipines as they also have too many nurses for the available jobs in the Phillipines but continue to keep educating and keep registering said nurses.



    This idea is flawed!

    Great english saying, ""people in glass houses should not be throwing stones''

    Our poor nurses board is overflowing with overseas applications. Remember it is not a right to work in another country and it is the nurse from overseas that makes the decision to apply, very few are headhunted by an Australian hospital to come here to work.

    ...and it is now becoming difficult to find work, because of the overseas recruitment, Australia is only so big in population there has to be a limit at some time, as has happened in other countries.
