Yes u need to have 2 vaccines one month apart but if u were vaccinated before 14 years of age you need just only 1 dose.

You dont have to get the varicella vaccine if u had history of chicken pox. Just get a certification from the doctor/pedia that you had this when you were a child.

HI MY FELLOW NURSES!

I happened to have a question for lucky those who have already received their offer letter from the College of Nursing in Burwood ( and believe me they are extremely lucky!!!). How much time did it take from the instance the College accepted the application package until the happy moment of receiving the offer letter? As far as I am concerned it has passed alredy 2 monthes and all my inquiries has been replied with the polite " you are advised to wait" response.

Anyone for 8 April 2013 at the Australian College of Nursing Burwood?

The Assessment of Competence Program was extended up to October 2013 in the letter they provided for Visa purposes.

CPD will only be for those Australian registered RN who are seeking to renew their registration here in Australia. You do not need to worry about that if you are still for BP (",)

So true. but we can't help second guessing and being nervous if this is the right path. Let's just hope and pray that we have threaded on the right path.
