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.

I was able to back read this Nov 18 post. Since it is possible to get the course w/o APHRA initially and now that the program has finished, when did these nurses get their AHPRA assessment? And is this actually advisable, meaning to have AHPRA assessment during or after the bridging? TIA
hi ossimanila!
i actually have a friend who did this arntp thingy early last year and now he is a registered nurse and practicing in Perth. i think he mentioned they did their aphra stuffs around 5-6 months before finishing their course, as far as i can remember. as for advisability, if you can qualify for IRON program then do it, it is faster and easier (less steps in the process). even my friend, himself, advised me to take iron, but if in any case i'd choose arntp then he said it's fine..
In my case, i waited for an exact month for my visa after my medicals. just received my visa. :)
a month? I have no more time.... when are you scheduled to take your BP? I have to be there August one... I wish that I would get my visa already.. the school is already asking for updates....
i would like to ask if i need to go directly to idp for my ielts result to be sent to ahpra or do i just need to coordinate with my review center who facilitated the application back when i was about to take it?
any feedback would be appreciated. thanks in advance.
in my case i went directly to idp office and requested for a copy to be sent to ahpra.

TO MARK GIAN: hi markgian! i've read in the thread that you're for September intake at IHNA. I just sent my application awhile ago and I am wondering if I could make it for the Sept intake. When did you submit your application? Thanks in advance! :)
