Due to recent changes regarding applications for International nurses to Australia and the combining of the nursing boards to one central nursing board in Australia AHPRA I have started a new thread for people to discuss the new process on working in Australia.
Currently New Zealand is not accepting new applicants from International trained nurses except those that meet the Trans Tasman Mutual Recognition Agreement {TTMR} this will be updated once the New Zealand nursing board reopen their books to International nurses.
Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency AHPRA
Hi everyone! :-) I'am currently preparing my documents to be given to AHPRA. One of their requirements is a statement of service and a curriculum vitae that describes my full practice history and any clinical or procedural skills undertaken. I'am making one right now and it's giving me headaches lol. A little background about me, i'm a fil nurse already here in aus which makes it even more difficult as most of my requirements are in the phils. I would really appreciate it if anyone could email their CV to me as a guide (You can delete any personal data) and a sample of a statement service also so that i could give it to my employer as their guide before issuing it to me. My email add is [email protected]. Thank you so much to anyone who can help me. I really appreciate it :-)
SCHOOL TEACHERS also are also often named to be able certify a document is the true copy as well.
Nurses in Australia for the past 10 years in surveys come up the most trusted profession and yet, we cannot certify copies are true to the original. I would trust a nurse anyday to many school teachers to have integrity......
so that is my rant about school teachers......and they are seen as the 10th most trusted profession by the Australian communty!! :mad::down:
This leaves the applicant nurse applying for any country, in control of what goes into a postmarked envelope by the applicant nurses registration board, in your case - PRC.
Direct..... in the english sense, by AHPRA means...... no other persons are involved, direct from PRC employee to AHPRA employee. This is so they can believe the certificate is true and genuine about the professional standing of the nurse applicants, by their nurses registration board, and let face it, in desperate times, desperate things can happen.
This had been discussed before on this forum, so its not new, how PRC works. AHPRA and NMC in the UK and nursing boards in the USA of A, this is how they do it, the applicant does not even see the document of good standing it is just made up and sent directly to the other country's nursing boards/council.
:) Good luck with your career.
we dont have any choice so we have to send it on our own.
UK and US for sure has a budget for this kind of service. unfortunately here in the PH, we do not.
Speaking of certified true copies, my niece told me that in Aus, police officers, pharmacists, other professionals that have licenses/seals can certify your documents. At the police station, the certification is free, but the line sometimes is long. At the pharmacy though there is usually a minimal fee.
Why can't we do it here too? Oh, I remember that there are fake "notary publics" too. Saw it in one of those expose shows on TV.
I better stop complaining now. Starting to sound like an curmudgeony, old geezer......(pardon the expression)
:hlk:
because youre in the philippines and not in australia.
I think most people as professionals would appreciate Joemike honesty and critical thinking skills that is appreciated in all aspects of a profession. It is not just because it is the Phillipines.
The Phillipines nursing registration board is not providing a service to you that is expected by another countries nurses registration board.
Expect lots of protocols, procedures written at different health institutions that you are to abide by and you will be expected to use independent, critical thinking skills when working over in Australia.
Nursing as a health profession is to do reflective practise and if your workplace or the traditional things are done(why change it is always done like this) and you know can be done better, have a say, and yes this is probably why all documents are questioned if they are not done the same way as the country that you have applied to work as a nurse and wish to live and work and supply a job and money to you.
Saying that it is not the best practise, is not putting down home country just using reflection that perhaps things could be done differently.
So I believe school teachers should not be given right to certify documents does not mean I hate the place.....!!!

use the search option and look for ganglioblastoma's CV sample.
AHPRA clearly stated what should be written in our SOS.
because youre in the philippines and not in australia.
dont hate your own is all i have to say
Hey, don't get me wrong here. I don't hate the Philippines. I love my heritage. I am proud to be 100% Filipino. I will shout to the whole world that I am a full-blooded Filipino. You'd say that if I love the Philippines, how come I'm leaving for greener pastures in other countries? Well, I have 3 kids that I would like to give better opportunities to.
You put a Filipino anywhere in the world and he not only survives but flourishes. There's even in the news recently of a Filipino RN in UK that was awarded Best Nurse in the country.
Anyway, it's the system of doing things that we have here that is messed up. It's not what you know but who you know. It's government bureaucratic red tape, corruption, period. :uhoh3:

i think you didnt fully understand what he stated in his earlier post.
he was questioning why certain professions could certify docs in australia while here in the philippines we couldnt.
not only that, he was also questioning the process of PRC, mentioned Recto, and fake notary publics.
yes theres nothing wrong on what he did but i dont think that its proper to put down your own country and give praise to another especially in international forums like this.
