In my opinion, the CAS will not fail you without a reasonable ground as they have the mandate to ensure that nurses who will practice in Australia are COMPETENT and of GOOD MORAL character. COMPETENCE is a learned attribute and comes out in time. You...

Congratulations. You can now e-mail the CAS program administrator directly at [email protected] You can ask them to foward an application for you through e-mail for the challenge test. See if you can still book for the December schedule. All the best.

You need a sponsor to nominate your for 457 (long stay visa). This would take 2 weeks-3 months to complete. Without a sponsor you, you cannot commence work. ENS would take longer but suitable for experienced RNs with at least 3 years experience. For ...

Thanks, stef. That's a word from the previous Program Manager but everything has change now as they have a new Program Manager. I would encourage applicants to take the clinical component of CAS instead of the Part B as there is so much to learn in t...

I had my registration in Qld and endorsed it through mutual recognition to another state as I am having some difficulty landing a job recently.

Endorsed Enrolled Nurse. In Victoria it is called Division 2 medication qualified. Nurses assessed as such are qualified for 457 visa application with a sponsor but cannot proceed to permanent residency unless they upgrade in Australia. However, you ...

Here's the mandatory criminal history check for all QNC applicants: http://www.qnc.qld.gov.au/index.php?id=328 Overseas applicants are required to submit NBI clearance at the very start. Hope this helps.

As long as your application is complete it would not take long. The most would be 3 months. Are you a second courser? I heard some stories about second courses assessed as ENs or EENs having finish their degree in 2 years time?

Don't wait for them to tell you. Request for IELTS to be sent directly to QNC. You can use ordinary mail I think you have to pay 300 for that or opt for DHL. Send a certified NBI clearance directly to the Council. There has been changes recently and...

I suggest you bring that to a Notary Public not to the police station. In the Philippines, cops are not authorized to sign declarations unlike in Au. Good luck.

I think so. Just make sure that you have submitted all the documents including NBI clearance and IELTS. There is a checklist in the QNC website to guide you. Good luck.

haha:D I'll keep my fingers crossed and I wouldn't even dare attempt to correct you again as everything you say is correct. Kudos.

Hi kye09, Incomplete application can delay your application as I believe the board convenes once a month to assess and decide international applications. If you think yours is complete, it wouldn't take that long. All the best.

this is an excellent source of information. the misconceptions have been cleared. thank you for posting.

Hello Antigone, Your application including your English proficiency examination will be assessed by QNC. CAS will not contact your for part A. The Nursing Board will inform you if you will be referred to CAS for assessment. An application packet will...

Hi ArmiRN, I am not discouraging anyone to apply. In fact, I would want u and everyone to be successful with the program. The primary reason I've laid all those cards is for you to be informed and prepared. These are the pros and cons of applying and...

All masters of nursing including master of nursing science or master of nursing as you may say, run for 2 years full time study in any Australian university. This is not an argument and yeah you are right that there are more important things to deal ...

FACTS: 1) There is no masters of nursing science or to quote you, masters of nursing in la trobe for a year even if you said you contacted them 2 months ago. I rang them today and there's no such thing offered. The BN conversion was previously offere...

Yes, ryan, I am sure. |'ve been here in Au since June and there's no masters of nursing science offered for 1 year. Certificate is offered for 6 mos and diploma for a year. The masters require elective and will never be offered for a year. I do not w...

This is confusing as there is no master of nursing program offered for just a year in any university in Australia. The masters of nursing science (MNS) is a full time study for 2 years and will include electives as well. The conversion program which ...

My transcript was on a long bond paper also. Mine was stamped at the back so as not to obscure the details in front. However, my application was in Qld. And I didn't have any problems with it. Make sure that you capture all the details front. For y...

That is if you're willing to pay the price. And it's not cheap. You can save yourself thousands of dollars by doing it yourself. To applicants in Australia particularly Qld: Queensland Nsg. Council: http://www.qnc.qld.gov.au Competence Assessment Ser...

Stick to the instructions in the application packet. Do not make things complicated. I believe the red ribbon is required in NZ but not in Au.

I wonder why people have to ask for answers to questions they already have their own answers to :beercuphe

RNs in Australia are educated in the university for 3 years and hold a Bachelor of Nursing (BN) degree. ENs are educated in a vocational school for 18 months. Most states are phasing-out the EN curriculum and are now implementing the EEN to educate a...
