Hi! To alpine health applicants who got interviewed last friday, plz do post if you already got feedback from them . Thanks!

[sephine, LPN]

Hi ms lani_g!

Were you given an offer right after your main interview from alpine health? I'm just curious since all they asked after the actual interview was whether i could secure a visa for it and mentioned that the outcome would be given within a week. Thanks!

need help which personal health insurance provider to get. Thanks!!

try bupa, its the health insurance recommended for ihna students, like me. classic visitor's cover at about 89dollars a month.

To those who will be doing their bp at ihna... Where will you do your immunization? About the online course how will you get access to it? I already paid for my enrollment fee. Im originally for july intake at perth but requested for the august intake at melbourne and they agreed. Im just worried because i already paid the enrollment fee. Like what will happen to my payment since i am already for a different batch

you can do your immunizations at any reputable hospital or clinic, its up to you. just make sure to have certificates of immunization with the required details as per ihna's standards. about the online course, you should email ihna to activate your online access, email to elearning support. your enrollment fee is secured just make sure you have the invoice, just email ihna and clarify the change of campus.

Hi sephine

Were you interviewed by Alpine Health last Friday also? Well, I still don't have the offer as of the moment. Although she commended me for my performance during the interview, I really do not know and have no idea about the outcome. In her last email to me yesterday, she just told me that she is still finalizing the numbers for the April and June intakes and will get back to me soon once it's done. Do you have an offer letter already?

Hi everyone! :-) i know this question have been asked soooo many times. There's been about a thousand pages of the previous thread but my eyes are hurting from all the reading and I haven't even come close to anything that could answer my questions which are the ff:

1. Can I submit my IELTS, TOR, and Certificate of Good standing to AHPRA first? then the other requirements such as the completed application form in say 5-6 mos time?

2. I also would like to clarify if overseas trained nurses wanting to do a bridging program should fill up the AGOS-40 form?

Thank you so much for your help.

hi! who's for ACFE April intake? I emailed them to verify on their accreditation status and I was told that they do have their accreditation and it will be posted at AHPRA's website.

Good day!

i have received an email from my registration officer and i have some problems with my papers. i hope somebody can enlighten me here.

First:

just send another notarized copy of your passport

Second:

Qualifications

send a TOR and RLE summary with the breakdown of NUMBER of HOURS per subject and a list of your clinical placements.

eg.

course units hours

anatomy and physiology 5 54

biology 3 40

Third:

Professional Reference

submit a new reference from your employer and meet their requirements, similar to a certificate of employment + job description

Hi junorossi

I hope this can help you.

First question. You should send everything all at once so as to avoid delays in assessment except for those docs that should be sent by regulatory bodies (e.g. PRC). I don't think AHPRA will keep your docs (IELTS, TOR, Cert of Good Standing) if you haven't sent them your application form. The AGOS-40 is very important for them. I suggest that you gather all your documents first.

About your second question, AGOS-40 is the form you need to fill up and send to AHPRA so that you can have the letter of eligibility to undergo a bridging brogram. You cannot just undergo a bridging program without the letter of eligibility because bridging schools require that.
