AHPRA Application- Philippines

Published

Hello! I am 24 years old, I am a graduate of BSN in the Philippines. I am having a year of experienced already. I am processing for my AHPRA Application right now, I'll be submitting all my documents on early May, 2014 at the state I'm applying (PERTH) . I already have IELTS score that they needed. I just want to ask about the BRIDGING PROGRAMS in PERTH, WESTERN AUSTRALIA. I just want someone who can help me decide an institution good for me considering the fee as well in case I'll be given the ELIGIBILITY LETTER. I will really appreciate if someone can help me. Please! :)

You're pitted against nurses from all over the world with more years of experience/credentials under their belt and limited slots for limited intakes. I suggest you apply for whatever school you can find across Australia which you think they are most likely to accept you.

Yah, I really have few experiences yet but I hope that AHPRA will still accept me. I am just happy that my application is in the National Board for review already. I believe that my traininga and academic awards help me push through. Thank you!

How did you know that it's with the national board already? I also lodged my application last May but in QLD.

AHPRA ELIGIBILITY LETTER RENEWAL :bugeyes:

It's been over a year since I posted in this site. Actually, this group helped me so much when I am applying for AHPRA and my application actually went through successfully. I got my ELIGIBILITY LETTER but the sad story I was not able to apply for bridging within the one year duration given by AHPRA. My letter is already EXPIRED. To enlighten you with my timeline when I am applying before, the following are the details of my timeline.

May 5, 2014- I send my application to Perth, Australia.

- CHED, PRC & MY UNIVERSITY (also sent the docs I requested)

May 8, 2014- AHPRA replied and acknowledges receipt of my application.

May 12, 2014- My IELTS was delivered in AHPRA Perth electronically by IDP.

July 1, 2014- Msg from Reg. Officer -We can confirm that your application is being assessed but at this time we are unable to provide a date for when this will be finalised.

July 15 2014- NOTICE OF REQUIREMENT from AHPRA. Criterion 2- "REQUEST FOR ACCREDITATION-INSTITUTION" with supporting document.

July 18, 2014- My University send the necessary attachment to SYDNEY, NSW as instructed in email.

August 3, 2014 - AHPRA Reg. Officer from Sydney mailed me again--Please be advised that we have now received all your outstanding documents. A national review team will assess your qualification for substantial equivalence to a National Board-approved qualification in nursing. Due to the current high volume of applications from internationally qualified nurses and midwives we are unable to provide a timeframe for a decision on your application. Please be assured that the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia and AHPRA continue to work to expedite the assessment and determination of your application for registration.

January 12, 2015- RECEIVED MY AHPRA ELIGIBILITY LETTER FOR BRIDGING (1 YEAR)

8 MONTHS OF WAITING :cry:

I am actually so happy to got the chance to have the eligibility letter but it was unfortunate because my letter expires before our visa with my husband were approved. I am already here in PERTH, AUSTRALIA right now and I'm planning to re-apply again since I was not fortunate to get an extension and it's been 3 months since the expiration date.

I just want to ask if there's anyone here that's have the same story as mine and is having a plan to start again. In addition, I would love to hear any advise and encouragement from this group regarding my situation. I know it would be hassle to repeat and take IELTS again but I hope all will work out well.

God is still good coz I have the chance to renew my application and now, I'm here already in Australia. It would be easier to follow-up and know the necessary documents if there's any additional needed from the previous one. Moreover, I want to inspire others not to give up with their dreams in life, if this is really what you want, GO AHEAD! PLEASE GET IT!

Remember, God has always a perfect timing! :yes:

For those allnurses members who are in Perth Australia right now, hope to hear from you! Hope you could give me a message.
