hi there chelseaxyrene!

i also worked in ksa. how did you request online for your saudi council good standing? i heard from my previous coworkers that SAUDI COUNCIL has a new current account number to deposit payment for the SC goodstanding request.. may i know what's the account number you deposited your payment? if it is the old acct number then i doubt they will process your paper..

i hope we can keep in touch to help each other..

I'll send you a private message. I already have my good standing from saudi and it was sent yesterday to AHPRA.

Send the application form with all other documents. After that, you can request for certificate of good standing. This document takes usually 2 weeks and then another week for mailing so it is okay to request early. For clinical and procedural skills, you can include the skills/procedures you have learned from school and from work.

ah ok...so it's fine if i do not provide those college materials as reference, i can just include it in my CV? thank you so much

Hi everyone.

I would just like to ask about the whole "extension, finishing the bridging program with an expired LOE" issue.

Um from what I understand is, once you're given an eligibility letter, you're undergoing an assessment. So they've (AHPRA) received your documents and everything but the one thing that you're lacking is the "bridging course." So they've given us a year to complete everything, including the bridging program. Based on what the forumers have been saying in allnurses, everyone should complete their bridging program within the one year validity of our letters. If we do finish our bridging program, but our LOE's have already expired, we have to reapply for another assessment, or another "eligibility letter." And that's another $540 AUD for the app fee, which I prefer not pay for the second time. I guess by that time, if you we do reapply for another assessment, they would consider our application and not anymore recommend a bridging program since we've already taken one and we can now push through with the registration as a Australia RN smoothly.

The only problem here is, I don't want to pay another $540 just to be assessed again if I can get in an earlier intake than May.

That's how understood everything. But, I've already sent AHPRA an inquiry regarding that this morning and i'm still waiting for their response.

If anyone could share their input, please do clarify everything.

Thanks for posting this.

I guess we only have to pay 380 AUD since we have already paid the fee for annual registration which is 160 AUD during our first application. Given that we are not considered for registration yet, I think it's not reasonable to pay another registration fee again.

I just passed my online exam at IHNA. What's going to happen next? Does this mean i don't have to undergo phone interview anymore? According to the generic email i received just now, they will contact me for further details. Anybody who enrolled at IHNA help me please? Thanks

If you have browsed their website then I guess you already know where to get a copy of the AGOS40 form, everything is in there. For further questions, don't hesitate to drop a message.

Good luck!

Hi!

Just want to ask if IHNA will allow me to attend classes and clinicals while I am pregnant? I just found out that I am and my BP will start this Sept. Thank you all.
