Was assessed Jan. 8 - got my referral letter today. got confused because the first attachment states that I have been refused for registration... although my BSN is assessed as AQN 7... I did not satisfy IQNM 2,3,6, and 8... and then the 2nd attachment is the referral letter... then the 3rd attachment has the "common questions asked"... One states that even after completing the bridging course... it does not assure you registration unless you satisfy the AHPRA board... since the IQNM 2,3,6 and 8 are a thing of the past... required while doing the nursing course... does this mean that even if I complete the bridging course... I will not be registered because I cannot satisfy the IQNM 2,3,6 and 8?

Hi! I also received a letter from ahpra like what you have received. What does it mean? I'm confused. Not eligible for registration but we can take the bridging program? thank you..

Hi guys I know that this question is already asked few times. Im a newbie and im planning to take either IELTS or OET. base on your experiences which is easier?. And another question. What do I need to prepare incase I will lodge my application at APHRA? there are reqs there that should be sent by the education provider/schools. Can I just have them sign the letter and put it in the application or my school needs to send it to APHRA directly? Thanks. Btw. Im already here in australia. Every response will be greatly appreciated.

We are not eligible for registration due to the reasons they have stated in the attachment... and that is the reason that we need to take the Bridging course... after which if we are assessed to be eligible after the course, we need to re-apply again for registration...

Hi! Did you receive a letter stating you are not eligible for registration because of criterion 2 and 3, but a referral letter for bridging program was attached? thanks

[ayanami]

it means you need to do bridging program to complete registration :)

thanks.."not eligible for registration" because of failure to meet criterion 2 and 3..that's why there is a referral letter for bridging program attached? I need to undergo this program to become a RN in Australia? thank you..

[ayanami]

We are not eligible for registration due to the reasons they have stated in the attachment... and that is the reason that we need to take the Bridging course... after which if we are assessed to be eligible after the course, we need to re-apply again for registration...

Thanks. So, we are now allowed to take the bridging program once we have the referral letter? We don't have to submit anything to AHPRA after receiving the referral letter? What's the next thing that we should do? Some of my friends told me to ask IDP's assistance..thank you..
