hey, imsodizzy, sorry bro...i just noticed it now..i've been super busy yesterday...i've deleted some messages and created a space already...would appreciate your re-sending of your pm to me..thanks much for your help:up::up:..and congratulations for completing your bp!!! :yeah:
thanks drednag, i've replied to your pm. good luck to all who are starting their application & those who are set to do the bp.
Hi cioman, of course i also missed your posts here :).you are a BIG BROTHER to this thread so keep on offering advice:yeah:. just like now i have some questions..hehehe
I am looking at the application form of ahpra now and in number 11, it asks for details of your qualifications and examinations, i wonder if i should include that im also a US RN as I also passed the NCLEX ( though im still here in the phils.:)) my problem is, what document should go with it? the only proof that i have now is the letter coming from California BON that i passed the exam.Do you think that i will be asked to let Cali. BON forward a validation of license to AHPRA if i stated that i am an nclex passer? It will take $60 to ask Cali BON to do that..in other words, would it hurt if i do not include that in my qualification? or would it be an advantage as part of my assessment if i include it?. To anyone who could answer my question, please enlighten me...others might have the same concern..million thanks..
i hope your ALT and BP is now normal...:)
- as matter of rule, you have to disclose completely such information because they asked for it.. if you do not, that's a risk that you will have to take, but if i will make a bet, chances are you will not be "caught" so to speak, now therefore it is your call, your gut feel,.. in any case theres nothing immoral about hiding it anyway..
- the way you state it above, it seems that CALIF. BON can issue such a "validation of license" costing $60.00.. plus your courier fees.. the question is how will AHPRA look at it versus the usual requirement of "verification of license or statement of good standing".. that we dont know because of you knw everything is new in AHPRA, everything is a precedent now it seems..
- my personal advice, if there is a way to "write/type" this statement in the form then better have it this way:
"I would like to disclose that I passed the NCLEX in California, but as of now I decided not to pursue the submission of other requirements nor to work there, therefore California has not officially issued a RN license document to me. I just passed the NCLEX which is just one of the primary requirements of getting a license".
- With that statement, you were disclosing an information (not hiding it), but since you downplayed it such that AHPRA will consider not requesting for any subsequent documents. Anyway what you said above is true "as of now";) ...get my point... in any case indeed you are not yet allowed to practice in calif.
- if then, they will request talaga for "verification/valication" then thats the time you will request for it..
actually you can write/type that long statement in a separate paper and sign it, there's really no harm in doing that.. its a disclosure in good faith so it is acceptable as part or attachment to your application.

hi salmonella! i also have the same concern, im thinking of disclosing that i am an nclex passer but i am not yet officially registered because i do not have ssn! i plan on submitting a certified copy of the letter from california. i do not know if it will help our application in any way as different jurisdictions have their own way of assessing but just as question number 11 says we should provide details of our qualifications and examinations. i also noticed that even the cv includes a section on registration history where you are supposed to state where you are registered, where you have been registered and where you have applied for registration :)
we all share the same case, liaa and salmonella. I am a cali NCLEX passer but not yet registered as well... i think the verification of registration doesnt apply in our case as we lack SSN and we're not yet registered. It could be a different document that they will need/require to validate if we are indeed passers, it could be a copy of the NCLEX result sent directly by cabon , that i am not sure. Im planning to include the NCLEX exam in my qualification and attach a certified true copy of the letter from CABON. and what cioman suggested does make sense. now Im thinking of making a personal letter telling them about this. thanks for the heads up cioman.
Hi guys, it feels like I am new here. I have been very busy with work, lovelife, and fatherhood.
I am so happy to see three fellows granted multiple entry visas. Congrats to reiken, drednag, and gemini star.
@salmonella, liaa, and mikyong
Part 11.1 of the AGOS, requires you to write your most recent qualification, assessments/examination. Since you passed the NCLEX RN exam, you would need to put that under 11.1 if that is the most recent. If you obtained a California RN license after passing the NCLEX, then that means you obtained a qualification to practice in California, and you would need a state verification of license sent to AHPRA. Your 11.1 should look like this:
Title of qualification: Registered Nurse
Name of Institution: California Board of Nursing
Country: USA
However, passing the NCLEX does not automatically qualify you to work as an RN in some states like California because the NCLEX is just one of the requirements to obtain a qualification/ license. Another stupid requirement is the social security number. If you don't have an SSN, then you will not be qualified in California yet and you cannot obtain a state verification of license. But since you passed the NCLEX you need to declare that and if I were in your case I would put under 11.1 this:
Title of qualification: NCLEX RN
Name of Institution: NCLEX/Cabon
Country USA
Comp date : date of exam
Length of Prog: examination
Then I would photocopy the letter from Cabon stating that I passed the NCLEX and I would have it certified as true copy and send it as attachment. I think that would be enough. If they would ask for a verification of license, that would be the time I will send a letter stating that I only passed the NCLEX but was not yet given a license because of SSN requirements hence, verification of license is not possible.
Anyway, you will most likely be assessed under category c, and you will be required to take the BP. So whether you put your being an NCLEX passer or not, would not really make a difference.
Unless you were licensed in the USA, and you worked as RN for at least 1 year fulltime equivalent, there is a chance that you will be assessed under category b and BP will no longer be required. There is no precedent yet with AHPRA but with the previous boards like QNC and NMBWA, if you were licensed in the the US and have the minimum required experience, BP is not required.
This also answers reiken's question re her sister. There is no precedent with AHPRA yet. But there is a chance BP will be waived, based on previous stateboard rules. If i were reiken's sis. I would gamble and send application to NMBWA. It will only cost me 220 AUD dollars to be assessed and there is a chance that I will be granted an OZ license right away and come October, when WA will be part of AHPRA, then the license will be valid anywhere in OZ.
If required to take the BP, the eligibility letter from NMBWA is good for three years, and it will be valid to take the BP anywhere in Oz when WA is officially part of AHPRA come October.
good day everyone! there is a section in the CV which says references and publications, what exactly do they mean by that? as in character references? publication as in research work, if applicable? many thanks:)

while reading guidelines on documentation i came across this in AHPRA's website:
" outside australia, documents that are certified by a notatry public will be accepted by persons appointed to hold, or act in, the office in a country/ place outside australia in an australian embassy, high commission or legation, as:
australian consul-general, consul, or vice-consul
australian trade commission er of consular agent
australian ambassador or high commission
australian minister, head of mission, commisioner charge d' affaires or counsellor
australian secretary or attache
a justice of peace registered outside australia is not accepted for certifying documentation.
i do not understand what this clause mean, or does this not apply to us, therefore, i do not need to bother and just have my docu certified by a notary public?? answers will be appreciated. thanks so much :)
good day everyone! there is a section in the CV which says references and publications, what exactly do they mean by that? as in character references? publication as in research work, if applicable? many thanks:)
references are professional references not character references. publications include authoring books, and research publications in journals.
. To anyone who could answer my question, please enlighten me...others might have the same concern..million thanks..
