Give an example from your previous employer where you displayed these values.

@M_Young: A bit of a grey area there love. I was first approved for bridging in 2013 but couldn't undergo the program since I was engaged in formal uni studies for something else and undergoing the bridging would have violated the conditions of my st...

I love your idea but expecting the care staff to write in a specific way is more of like a dream... they never will do it especially if they are crunched for time. I remember a year or two ago when I was working in aged, our ACFI driver would write t...

You'll need a CoE from a CRICOS approved course to get a student visa. I'm not sure if a three month non-award course such as the IRON would actually qualify, it depends largely on the institution you will be studying with. As for tax returns, tread...

Hmmm, I'll try to address your situation here as best I can. Like you, I came from the PH. I did not study nursing at first as I wanted out of the profession, I studied Health Services Management instead. After obtaining a graduate visa, I decided on...

Yes, and the dates of course. If you were casual (floater in Filipino terms) or part time then your worked hours will have to be included.

This was their e-mail to me a while back: 1

Good day mate, sorry for the late response, I had to ask someone who recently completed their BP since the process has changed from my time. Anyway, upon completion of your bridging course (with the certificate from your school released), you'll be c...

Awww that's tough mate. I had similar issues with my IELTS and the delays I encountered back in 2015. At end of it, I was asked to undergo another proficiency exam. I took the OET in favor of IELTS the second time around. In short, I used IELTS for t...

Hi Akkiko, welcome to Allnurses. First off, what is Philman? Secondly, you cannot work as a nurse (registered Division 1 or Division 2) unless you have obtained a registration from AHPRA. Holding yourself out as a nurse when you do not have registra...

@chibundo: In 2014 AHPRA decided on putting on hold all applications in order to determine from a formal review, what to do with Internationally Qualified Nurses and Midwives (IQNMs). For the more common applicants, UK, Ireland, NZ, Singapore a dete...

@cucci: So far I haven't encountered a negative assessment among my cohort and friends here. ANMAC's process is independent from AHPRA and may take time to process depending on any new requirements set out (I believe there had been some changes from ...

@Tanbirsingh: On the Upside Tanbri, you might be required to get a Student Visa which offers a host of advantages over a business visit visa after your bridging course although I agree, 9 weeks to 6 months is a long jump.

@NurseHD: No you are not making the right decision. You must go for the Melbourne campus. Hahaha

Currently learning the ropes in Med Oncology. I did a year in Orthopedics and a year in aged. What can I say... I've no clue where I want to specialize.

Hi! Welcome to Oz! Agency nursing can be fun. I work for 2 nursing agencies, both Melbourne based but work more for one that covers my area. I also have a regular job. Anyway, with Agency nursing, you join for FREE. The only thing you need to pay for...

a teenager girl asked me: "So I can like lose weight since I won't go hungry because of the IV right?" and her friend said: "Wow really? can I one of those?"

My advise is: stick with it until you get your hospital job because you just may not find it during this economic crunch. Having continuous experience in a relevant field can give you an edge over employers (and provide enough coin to sustain you). A...

Hello Madame, Yes, actually even here in PH we are also having problems with that; nursing roles being expanded to such an extent that it scares us and to make matters worse, the totally unbalanced N:P ratio. In my experience though, before problems ...

Now reading page 11/91. Will have to stop from here. I just came from a not so grueling but still tiring 2-10 shift. Thanks for all the info you guys.

OK Thanks guys, I'll try to polish up my charting and work my way until I remove the redundancies.

Hi folks, I'm a little ashamed to open this topic but I really need help. As a student and when I began my practice as a nurse, we usually do traditional charting which is sort of a narrative charting which describes what we did for the patient. Rec...

Hmmm OK, I think I understand how most people feel when they say experienced nurses eat their young. I am still considerably new in the hospital I am working for. When I sprung fresh from training and orientation and into the real McCoy, I was paired...

I'm so agreeing on this! Experience grants authority but for my supervisors to tell me it's "time management" when they haven't walked in a staff's shoes or about 6 years, and when it's clearly a "staffing issue" (ratio 11:1), even non-nurses can tel...
