Guys dont bother applying to Queensland Nursing Council. They now require WORK EXPERIENCE as a prerequisite upon application. Very disappointing :bluecry1: EVIDENCE OF RECENCY OF PRACTICE, AND FITNESS AND COMPETENCE TO PRACTICE If you are unable to provide this documentation you will be required to address the australian nursing and midwifery council (anmc) standards for the registerd/ enrolled nurse. these competencies can be found on QNC's website. IMBACK! HMMMMM! let me say that you guys are panicking for no REaSON at all !!!!!!!!!!!!! YYYYYYYYYYYYYYY???????? Because you have misinterpreted the statement. This statement simply is saying that if you cannot comply with the recency of practice and fitness and competence to practice based on the ANMC standards for the RN's/En's. You will have to prove yourself by way of a challenge test or by way Distant learning (STUDy MODULES) just as to comply with the requirements of the ANMC standards. CAPICE?! now, how do you fill up item #5--- by way of a STATUTORY DECLARATION.email me for additional info's. This is y it is an advantage to have consultant with regards to the process of registration!

Hi Ive already posted this answer on other threads. buut to make things easier here is the LINK: yes it can be done--once you are eligible for State RN Registration( just having eligibility will do). http://www.immi.gov.au/legislation/amendments/2003/030701/lc01072003-12.htm

well, i can say that each person deserves a better life. so we are up to the challenge. i am an undergrad when i studied for my bsn. "i find it unfair because they will just study for 2 years. but the thing is they and well as every one else aspire of better life. so maybe the board of nursing doesn't have the right to stop them from taking the course but what they can do is to have them take the regular course which is the ffour or five year course of bsn." huh??? i think what you forgot to realize here is that here in the phil. having a 1st course (bs biology,bsmt,etc) will eliminate all other subjects that a regular nursing student would have to take up be it a major or minor subject. so now, are you trying to say that if i already have a degree in let say pharmacy. i would have to take up, for ex. microbiology,chemistry, phil. history, and all other major/minor subjects all over again?just so as to be fair to you and every regular rn student.. yaiks!!! scary thought! how then would the commission on higher ed create a 2nd courser bsn-rn program which would comprise of 4-5 year course? invent a specialty subject like microbiology the extended version or perhaps a subject called chemistry 101 for 2nd coursers only? i think they should make a new version of the periodic table first before making this a subject. bottomline is that, undergrads and 2nd coursers have the same nursing subjects they both have to comply with the 2,703 hours of hospital duties. also, with the or/dr requirements, both have the same number of required duties. so,as to the topic of stopping 2nd coursers from taking nursing as a degree. i guess the philippine board of nursing as a body would definitely have to pay off our dear congress, our honorable president (is honorable and horrible synonymous to this pres? ) for the charter change of the 1987 constitution and amend this right to education: [color=#663366]section 5. (1) the state shall take into account regional and sectoral needs and conditions and shall encourage local planning in the development of educational policies and programs. [color=#663366](2) academic freedom shall be enjoyed in all institutions of higher learning. [color=#663366](3) every citizen has a right to select a profession or course of study, subject to fair, reasonable, and equitable admission and academic requirements. http://www.chanrobles.com/article14.htm

RN Division 1 are first level nurses comprehensively trained with the potential ability to work in any branch of nursing. RN Division 2 are second level nurses that work under the direction of a division one or three nurse, equivalent to an enrolled nurse in other Australian states My dear friend-- QNC has used a tool from the ANMC called COMPETENCY BASED ASSESSMENT PROGRAMS for OVERSEAS NURSES. In fact this program is applied by all the states in Australia. But every state has a different program approach. Now, when you apply to QNC for registration and you pass all the necessary tests designed by this prestigious body(ANMC) And you got Registered by the State of Queensland--then you are deemed as an RN who is comprehensively trained with the "POTENTIAL" ability to work in any branch of nursing. POTENTIAL meaning if guided by the right supervision by an RN who is above the level of Div-1, that entry level RN can excel its full capacity as a functional RN. This means that when you start work, you will be under supervision in a limited time. Not yet SATISFIED with my answer? :) http://www.qnc.qld.gov.au/home/content.aspx?content=Professional_Standards/Professional_Standards http://www.qnc.qld.gov.au/home/content.aspx?content=Professional_Standards/Competence_assessments That is why if you fail TEST b ---you will have to under go a 160 hour clinical placement to prepare you for DIV-1 RN... ANMC has designed program this to really know if we are all qualified to practice in AU I am very confident about us Filipinos. We can succeed our desired plan to become a well respected RN in Australia. WHY? because the majority of Filipinos when given a chance to be educated and guided in a correct manner, they become achievers of their goal!

Really?-On the other hand, why is there a division 1 entry level nursing:confused:???What does this position mean as a Registered RN in Queensland. Please take note "ENTRY LEVEL" as the key words meaning you as an RN will be starting at a novice skill. You will be given time to adjust your skills. And plus, if you start work with experience wouldnt that qualify you as division 2 RN or even higher RN Division? Tons of jobs are open all over Queensland? They are short of RN's. Some Nursing Facilities are closing down because they cannot fill in the position.Plus, You've got regional Queensland and other state territory that need RN's badly. You can apply for reciprocity you know!

Please do some reading. The Links are everywhere in this website ---but to make it short--here it is one more time... http://cas.cqu.edu.au/FCWViewer/view.do;jsessionid=8a4d179c30da232332de695142b19f0fae39450b9af5.e34Nax8ObxeMai0LaNmPbNqLbxmNe6fznA5Pp7ftolbGmkTy?page=659 Still doubt that consultancy? Please take note that you will only be accommodated by CQU-CAS when you have been properly assessed by QNC. I think the moderators should up the topics or make it a sticky thread regarding registration to Australia.Its scattered everywhere. And the the inquiry has been a hot topic. Just my opinion.

Almost DONE with the Registration process---Thanks ASNC

daffodils :nono:no experience needed for the QNC pathway, other options (NSW,SA,NT)are offered with experience but this one is still the best with or without experience. http://www.qnc.qld.gov.au ----

Was reading up on the Competency Assessment for Internationally Qualified Nurses and was wondering something...do any of you know if the challenge tests can all be done here in the Philippines? including the clinical (simulated) part? And if it is not passed, can the clinical module be taken as distance learning as well? Challenge test A is done here in the Phil. and Challenge Test B is Done in an approved hospital in Australia. Modules are done thru distant learning(online) except for the clinical module.

Yup! I've tried ASNC and this consultancy group has helped a lot with my plans to go to Australia. I am 3/4 done with all the process. I just need to get my medicals done. So I would have to definitely say that ASNC is true and not a fake...:bowingpur Now you know!

I lost the link to bridge program. Could someone post it. http://www.anmc.org.au/docs/International_docs/Competency%20based%20Assessments%20for%20Internationally%20Qualified%20Nurses%20and%20Midwives.pdf chooses wisely!

Actually, Djuna is most certainly correct about the info for Au nursing registration. The forum is flooded with it. So choose already.Goodluck!
