I did not really get what you were saying there. So, were they telling you that the position you applied for involves a great deal of stress? Is that it? Or are you asking people if this nursing role was any stressful than any roles they have ever be...

I do not think anyone could answer your questions or make those decisions but yourself. The only way for you to be confident during that interview is by having enough preparation, that is, going through the usual interview questions that could be bro...

Checking for references isn't always a guarantee that you are getting the job. It is just a routine background check that most employers have to do before offering the applicant the job. But know that you are shortlisted for the position you applied,...

This thread is about current trends in the Nursing field in Australia in relation to 457 visa sponsorships for Overseas-trained Nurses How has it been after getting registered from AHPRA? Have you got any job offers yet? Any difficulty findi...

UPDATE: 457- sponsored for 4 years, on my 2nd year now. Working in the public health sector but unfortunately, the hospital is no longer able to sponsor for Permanent Residency Visas since the beginning of the year. My other colleagues, who applied t...

Let me see, SKILLED INDEPENDENT MIGRANT. How would you be able to prove you are actually skilled without getting registered in the field you are in?And no, you don't have to answer this as this is a rhetorical question.

You wouldn't need a TFN unless you are employed, and they won't ask for it nevertheless.

If I were to base it on the ANMAC checklist, I'm very certain that I don't have to turn in any police certificates for the modified assessment. It also doesn't say I'd have to include a copy of my visa or even my previous certificate of employment. W...

Thanks sbeattrix, Could you walk me through the ANMAC process?? I've paid the $300 fee and I have yet to turn in my documents as I have no clue if I should include a letter of reference from my employer. I'm thinking of applying for the NSW state spo...

iamnomad: Yes, I'm in the process of doing it. I've already paid $300 to ANMAC though this is why I couldn't get my head around this bit: asking ANMAC to just do the assessment or include my overseas experience with the assessment?--as part of the DI...

I guess I'll have to wait until July, 2 months more of waiting wouldn't harm anyway. Thanks iamnomad.

I live in Sydney so I can't apply for a state sponsorship just yet let alone 189 visa because I just started last February. Oh dear, this is frustrating.

Thanks for the response, iamnomad. I, myself, am 3 months short of the 3-year overseas experience which bugs me every time. Should I just ask them to have my skills assessed instead? After doing the self-assessment based on the points test from DIAC ...

Any thoughts on applying for the ANMAC skills assessment? It's been 3 months since I've had my 457 visa and yet again, I'm planning to apply for a permanent visa this soon. Have you had any problems during the application? I'm going for the 189 visa...

You're pitted against nurses from all over the world with more years of experience/credentials under their belt and limited slots for limited intakes. I suggest you apply for whatever school you can find across Australia which you think they are most...

That must have been terrible, I could imagine. I'm with iman(NIB) since my application for my 457 visa and I'm paying roughly $50 a fortnight and they're keen on increasing the fees by $10 next month according to the email that I got from them. I'm l...

Thanks iamnomad. In that case, I might just have to apply for PR sooner then. True jems, even private health insurance companies are racking up a lot of money from non-residents. I'm sorry I thought you live in Sydney and no, I don't work for St. Geo...

I couldn't agree more! I, myself, am taking things one step at a time. I'm very happy with my job and I'm not really rushing to switch to permanent residency as I have 4 years on my 457 visa. Are you employed at St.George? How are things there?

Jems, how about you?? I work in a public hospital and I was told to wait for 6 months until 1 year before they could sponsor my visa for PR. I've started applying for ANMAC skills assessment though, and I could still apply for PR independently given ...

What are your chances of getting sponsored & getting a job with 1 year hospital experience? SLIM. The TYPICAL SCENARIO: Right after you gain your registration, you'll be off applying for hospitals to which most, if not all, would just reject your...

Visa came through after 3 weeks since nomination got approved!! 4 years baby!!=)) Sydney here I come!=))

VISA GRANTED today!!!!! God is so good!! Took me 5 weeks before I could get my hands on to that grant! Flying to Sydney on the 6th, welcome for any beer meet ups!lol

Gain some experience and learn how to wait for your turn. Don't just jump the gun.

Good on you! I do hope we'll get to that same place soon enough. It's been tough waiting for ages and not seeing any progress with our applications. But as what they say, good things come to this who wait.=)

hi belle_v2g !!! How have you been? How's everything with your new job?
