Don't worry too much, they process papers a lot quicker than a year ago. Your husband's application should be released in no time provided that all the requirements were submitted. And that includes the COGS from PRC and all the other places he's registered as an RN. :)

What are the requirements to be submitted to AHPRA after bridging course?

Post BP you will use AGBP-40 form.. Its much more the same with AGOS-40.. prc good standing certificate (if you happen to work overseas then any relevant nursing bodies), you need to satisfy too your identity, your BP certificate, registration fee.. More or less those are the requirements..

Hi sweety7, yes you can apply.. Ahpra website stated that "You need to provide evidence that you have practised for a period equivalent to a minimum of three months full-time, within the past five years.

The types of evidence you can provide includes a service statement from your employer, pay slips, income statement for the year, and other documents showing the hours and dates that you worked."

..any role, whether remunerated or not, in which the individual uses their skills and knowledge as a nurse or midwife ...practice is not restricted to the provision of direct clinical care. It also includes working in a direct non-clinical relationship with clients, working in management, administration, education, research, advisory, regulatory or policy development roles, and any other roles that impact on safe, effective delivery of services in the profession and/or use of their professional skills...

Cheers
