guys!

it's been awhile since i last posted here :) almost done with the theoretical parts of the BP. come next week, we'll be doing our clinicals in NSW, provincial/rural areas. i'm from august intake of IHNA Melbourne. just a tip: remain humble even if you are soo experienced already and always speak in english. the exams are pretty manageable, the drug calculations is what you need to perfect! impeccable! =) but all is well :)

it's still cold here in melbourne (as low as 4 deg to 14 deg) though they say spring should be around anytime soon. coping up with the weather, getting back to studies, being with different people may be overwhelming. but stay strong amidst all challenges and remember to enjoy each day. i'm lucky that we are mostly filos in our batch, roughly 20 plus filos then 14 indians, so it still feels like home most of the time :)

to all who are still completing their requirements, hang in there :) sooner and later, all these hardwork will pay off :) aja to all of us :)

Thanks for sharing cummulus. Ranging between 1-10 how do you rate the drug calculation? Thanks and God Bless!

@iamnomad

Thank you. I've checked everything and I know that I've sent every document they need. I just hope that on sept 14, they will offer me a BP. Will just write a letter of appeal. fingers crossed. just wondering, am I the only soul here with this case?

my situation before was a bit similar with yours. but ahpra qld refused my application as a registered nurse being my school not deemed qualified with their standards. so what we did is we countered the decision by submitting other supporting documents like the course syllabus and RLE record before the deadline.after 2 months or less, i already received my eligibility.

Hi, I'm new here. Can someone please help me as im experiencing some difficulties regarding my AHPRA application. I'm a nurse, still working at UST hosp. anyway,re my ahpra app, I received their letter last week regarding their refusal to approve my app. they pointed out the reasons. 1.) i dont have NMBA approved qualifications. and they sent me a link of NMBA approved programs of study. 2.) I havent taken NCLEX or CGFNS and my experience as a nurse is in a non english speaking country (Philippines). 3.) my CPD (cont.prof devt) is not enough. ---so, they're askin me to send more docs for them to reconsider (or not) my app. their final decision will be on sept 14. The officer I've talked to said that i should have like reasons for every point they made re my app. It's fine with me. I just wanna know if there are instances when they don't even offer an applicant the bridging course??

have you submitted the complete requirements? i have a checklist here:

Application Form Completed

i enrolled for the online BP but i haven't started it yet.. have you paid the enrollment fee?

[thymine]

Hi. I already passed my lacking documents with AHPRA. Is it ok to follow up with them or should I just wait for their answer?

hi! when did you pass the lacking documents? they usually reply within two weeks.

@cummulus

hi there! thanks for sharing your experience. have you tried applying for a job already?

[krstnal]

Hi! Has anyone tried lodging a 456 visa without a passport? The via center said it would be ok. As long as when my passport is available i can submit it as additional document. Has anyone tried this? What was the outcome? ☺

hi! when did you pass the lacking documents? they usually reply within two weeks.

They received my lacking documents August 20. So it's been 10 days since they received my documents. Maybe I'll just wait until next week. Thank you.
