Hi guys! Do you have any idea what are the questions they will be asking in the interview? IHNA scheduled my interview two days from now.. really need some tips

It depends on the category/ies. I had my interview on the website instead by answering 15-20 questions from different categories and i must say it was easier rather than a phone interview.

Unisa doesn't need an elgblty letter...you only deal with ahpra after the program...Do you mean you are dong two pathways; applying in ahpra for an LOE and unisa?

i have a question regarding on vaccination.

does a varicella vaccine and 2 doses of MMR vaccine still needed for the immunisation.

even though you already had chicken pox and had a shot of mmr when you were young.

thank you.

To beauexActually, that's one gray area for me that you just made clear. Thanks so much. I was thinking of applying for apra while doing the program. Dealing with aphra after the program is even better.... :)

If you have a record of your vaccines then that's fine. If not, you are required to have yourself vaccinated or undergo serology which is pretty expensive

I think we only need few documents to be sent to ahpra after the program along with the ARNTP certificate. I still have to know what are those other docs so that I can prepare also while I'm here in the Philippines.

[Eyem8791]

To beauexSame here. By the way, did you have to send physical docs to UniSA via courier or was the online application attachment enough?

Hi friends.., has anybody here got offer letter from AAoN??

.... December intake??

[jim1986]

I'm done with the interview. I'm not quite sure of the thing they're assessing - communication skills, honesty? They didn't ask a thing about diseases, like what other schools have been doing, which is good, I guess. To be honest, I'm not pleased by the answers I gave out. Not that I did horribly bad, but the interviewer seemed unconvinced with my answers. Hayy.

How about the other guys, did they say you passed right after the interview? Good luck to all of us! :)

Hi have you got any reply from AAoN??
