Any Queensland Nurses here?

Published

Hi any nurse here in Queensland? just want to ask for a little help maybe you can recommend any book or review materials i can use for the Competency Assessment Test (QLD Nursing Council) I just need it badly. Thanks!

Hi hotpotato101:loveya:. im about to schedule competency exam test A. have you taken the exam? I'm anxious already because I have no idea what type of exam I'm about to take. please just some hints and advises... thanks very much.

hi! well fortunately i was able to buy review materials from someone who has taken and passed the test A already. the person who i bought the reviewers from, seek the service of an agency that's why he's got resources.

however, i can't be much of help now since im here in Singapore and the reviewers are with me here. I haven't browsed the reviewers yet as i need to focus on my IELTS test. I failed the writing part :banghead: thus i need to resit for the test again. the reviewers are a bit different from NCLEX. i think the best way to do is look for someone who's under an agency and buy their reviewers once they're done. :up:

Hi. When did you lodge your application? How long it took before you received your eligibility? I know there's an influx of applicants now, so it will take longer..Thanks

Hi thinkerbel

I applied for QNC assessment last April 2008. Usually the assessment time is 2 months but I have problems with my documents regarding proper authentication (if your planning to apply make sure all your documents are properly notarised). My assessment was approved on Sept. :yeah: They required me to take english exam (ielts) within 3 months. luckily I took IELTS last july. so I submitted my result immediately. after that I received a letter recommending me to CAS (competency assessment service). Choices are to take the Assessment test or education modules. I choose to take the exam because education modules are very expensive (aud$900/module). I paid aud$260 for the test A. I am scheduled now to take the exam :banghead:.

Hi,

What issues with notarization did you encounter? Please advise. My lawyer did not input his address and telephone numbers on the forms. Just his stamp, signature, etc. Thanks in advance

Requesting for your patience for my queries:

  1. I know that the lawyer should certify/sign on each page of the photocopy documents. Where did he sign and write those legal words, at front page of each pages or at the back page of each pages?? i'm curious because there are photocopy documents where there is no sufficient space at the front page for the lawyer to write his certification.
  2. Would you know, for applicants with no credit cards, is "bank draft" an acceptable form of payment?
  3. Together with the application, we will send payment of Aus$158.00 only? am i right..

Hope you could share on this. Thanks.

1. I photocopied all my documents in long bond paper so there is sufficient space in front of the document. I've put the space on the side for certifcates. The transcript would be different since it occupies the space of the entire long bond paper. My lawyer certified it a at the back of the page.

2. I am not sure about bank draft since I have my own credit card. You can actually ask someone who has a credit card to pay and just bill you when the actual bill arrives.

3. That's right. You're not actually obliged to pay the license fee becasue you still have to go for the CAS.

Hi, with regards to the photocopy of the documents, only the lawyer's certification is acceptable to QNC.. Which brings us to a specific question, if you have a photocopy of your diploma and your TOR which were certified true copy by your school's registrar, is the registrar's certification acceptable to QNC? This is were the vagueness comes in.. Me, i will have my documents certified by a lawyer instead of the registrar unless i'll send original copies which is not recommended.

In the Philippines, only notary public and solicitor are allowed to certify a document. Lawyers who are not registered as notary public cannot certify your documents for QNC. Regarding registrar certifcation, QNC will not accept that. You have to have your own original transcript and original RLE and have it certified by a notary public.

Hi guy32,

I was curious about your issues with certification. What issues did you encounter in the certification of your documents to QNC that took you 5 months for your approval. Thank you so much.
