I'm curious. Has anybody here been not deemed eligible for the bridging program because of lack of experience or any other reason? Because I want to make sure I have the requirements before I start my application than be rejected for lacking something. And if there was, is there a waiting period before you can apply again or request for a consideration?

Just recently, I asked both AHPRA and an institution in Melbourne called MCIE, they both said that hospital experience is not necessary to be a registered nurse here in Australia.

@ezra scarlet but I don't have any experience. When did you lodge your application? 5-6 months is a short period compared to the 9 months waiting period I have read here. And also can a PM or email you for questions regarding application process? How long is the bridging program AHPRA required you to take?

@meggieli: when you say "hospital experience", is that only in the hospital setting or any other field? I'm sorry if I'm reading into the words here:yes: because the only experience I have is the clinicals I had during nursing school. No experience yet as an RN

We usually have different RO and our RO contact is given by AHPRA once they receive our application. It took me a month to know who my RO is. Just be patient. :)

I know my RO already coz my application is for almost 4 months already and just waiting for it to be progressed to the board for review. I just want to know if we have the same RO. Thanks

hi guys! does anyone in this forum who had their hospital experience in LIBYA? I have a dilemma that AHPRA might not consider my application.my colleague went to one of the consultancy in the PHils. and they told that they cannot verify Libya due to the current situation.
