Thanks and yup, same one :)

Hi :) ff up question: You had mentioned in a previous (way way back) post that you have less than two years of hospital experience, of which no COE was given to you by the hospital you worked with -- did you do as you were advised (by your agent) to include this in the gap in work? Feel free to correct me if I have misquoted or have incorrect information. You see I am in a situation where I have some hospital experience (less than the 2 year norm) and I am unable to declare it as such since I have no written documentation of it. TIA! (i have a lot of questions don't i? LOL :) )

is there someone here who practices outside PI as RN and applies to ahpra?

are the requirements the same with RNs who practices in PI.

if not, what are the additional requirements nneded by Ahpra.

I practiced in Saudi Arabia. They will be needing certificate of good standing, certified true copies of license and registration certificate. It's just the same as long as you send them proof that you are registered and in good standing

thanks, ive asked my agent, and she says that no need for certificate or anything of the sort because i havent mentioned in my CV that im a registered RN here although i am currently working here up to present. do we have the same situation. regardless if ive stated my registration or not, but currently working, does ahpra need a certificate of registration? and do ahpra need the three documents that uv mentioned? because i can only provide certificate of registration. ^^

Where are you currently working? I am confused with your statement. You haven't mentioned that you're an RN here? meaning in the Philippines? How were you able to apply to AHPRA if you are not a nurse here in the Philippines? You need to have at least 3 months of work experience to be able to apply to AHPRA. If you did not declare any work experience, how can you be qualified? You need to provide those three documents if you are registered in one country and declared those in your CV and application form.

Brother, it may be confusing but it's just easy. Make sure that on your coe and cv, your job title or position always includes "registered nurse". Hoping this would help :)

It's fine. I had a lot of questions too lol. Yes, I did include it in my gaps in work. But I did have 3 months of volunteer experience which I listed down in my work experience since I was given a certificate. Try to make sure you get something like maybe a recommendation letter from your charge nurse or something. :)

AHPRA clearly state they need a certificate from all jurisdictions you are working in. This is to check if you have not committed some negligence anywhere you have been a Registered Nurse. Not including this /leaving things out to suit you, in your application would be considered fraud. Not truthful in your application.

[mbtaRN]

Hi there mbtaRN! I've read one of your earlier post and learned that you only have months of volunteer experience (am I right?) I have tons of questions and if you don't mind, can I add you in FB? TIA

Um yeah sure thing. [email protected]
