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.

Hello angelslove!! Congratulations to you! OMG!! From what i understood, you dont need to undergo BP and you are eligible to register as a nurse in the next 90 days!! That's really great news you don't need to spend a sum! :) im so happy for your success!! :) you must have good and wide hospital experience? Again, congrats! :)
yes i think thats possible for you. i have batchmates who applied to BP right after they grad and they are working fine as nurse in Perth. as to my friend's cousin, he doesnt have any experience at all but he's in canberra an*ICU nurse now. i just wonder how they make it really quick.. but money works was surely part of it.. hope we can get thru this too :)
i really wish i pass ielts this time. i always fell a point short with reading...
Really? So you're just waitin for the result? I will sit the ielts next month hopefully :)
Btw, BP lasts for 2-3 months :)
Hmmmmm if i happen to get the score i needed in ielts, and as what ceridwyn has said that i can apply without experience, then i think i will apply right away :)
2-3 months only? even if we only have volunteer experience?
how did u learn that? do u have a link or something so i can read myself pls...:)
hi! what state did you submit your application? :)
hi mixter23..i submitted my application to AHPRA WA..i just got an email today from my case officer that the minutes of the Board meeting has not been released yet..so i need to wait for the outcome..do you have an idea how long will i wait?..or have you been through this?..thanks..=)

Really? When did your batchmate applied at Ahpra? Do you happen to know where they sent their applications? :) im really excited! :)
I hope i can get the needed score in ielts next month :)
Are you by any chance in the Philippines? If you are, I suggest that you still undergo visa evidencing/stamping on your passport as the immigration area in the airport can be very tedious (more like suspicious) when it comes to fellow countrymen departing for abroad.
Yes im from philippines. How can i have my visa stamped on my passport? It just arrived yesterday and im scheduled to leave this weekend.
It's the letter of eligibility from Ahpra allowing you to finish a bridging course first before you can register as a nurse..
Yes it's one of the shools requirements when you apply for BP.. Hmmm there are a lot of schools to choose from, the website also have a list of the schools you can have your BP.. I think CON offers the cheapest for BP, i'm not so sure about that.. :)
thanks dream:)
which website?
registering as a nurse is done after the BP? now im confused*
what do we need to do to get the LOE?which form are we gonna fill out?
at super long last i got my loe just today from ahpra-wa. patience is indeed a virtue.
to god be all the glory.

have you worked as a nurse in an english speaking country for 3 months? it looks like they have granted you registration and you just need to show proof of identity at an ahpra office to get your registration. there is no bp requirement mentioned.
Really? When did your batchmate applied at Ahpra? Do you happen to know where they sent their applications? :) im really excited! :)
I hope i can get the needed score in ielts next month :)
its actually a long time ago. it was in 2008 i guess. we are not in chummy terms really. we just say hi. it was our common friend who told me about it and convince me that we should do the same:)
her cousin on the other hand applied directly to the school and maybe i misunderstood it all the while. i thought BP=AHPRA registration so maybe he registered after he finished the BP. again, his BP lasted for 8months and he almost spent 800,000 php. thats y im having confusion now:(*
i wish you will pass it :) just have faith, God provides...
