Hi Spicynoodles! Been long time..anyway, I didnt need a BP..got AHPRA registration without it...hth.

**That's why documents needs to be assessed still....hopefully it'l be waived since we all submitted to the same state..at the same time... who knows...it would still be up to the boards.

This is the exact clause: The Competency Based Assessment Program may be waived for: Nurses who have completed recognised program and have gained initial registration in the following countries: United Kingdom, Ireland, United States of America, Canada, Singapore, Hong Kong, and the Netherlands (HBO programs). Nurses who have completed a nursing education program in a member state of the European Union is consistent with the European Union standard for the education of nurses responsible for general care (EU directive 2005 / 36 / EC) ***still all documents need to be assessed by AHPRA to verify your registration from the said countries. hth

Hi there! We nurses here dont need to undergo BP anymore since our license here in Ireland is credited..we just need to get registered..even if you are Filipino because we did undergo BP when we qualify here and it is the same BP as what you are going to have in Australia..some of my colleagues already transferred there and they said that its only the hospital's orientation they did undergo... I also have read somewhere in Ahpra website, that nurses who have a registration in UK, US, Canada and Ireland dont need to undergo BP anymore. hth

Yes I am Filipino and been working in Ireland as a nirse for 5 years now..just weigh your options and consider how long you have been practicing as a nurse..if your experience is suitable then you wouldnt have any problems..or better yet ring them to clarify your querries.. I am just relating what I have known from my bro in law who is an immigration officer in australia.. if your coming from the Philippines you would surely undergo a BP but as to when, it depends on how ANMAC will assess you. hth

I am planning to after I get my registration sorted out...as you can see in the website there are 2 options there, 1 for full assessment which is used by applicants without AHPRA registration and the other one Mod. Assessment used by those who have already, basically the requirements are quite similar to those of Ahpra just a few add ons...if you require a lot of points for DIAC then you should ask for references from your employer for the last 10 years.. You can apply for Independent Migrant visa and check your eligibility status through the point system here in this site.. http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/general-skilled-migration/175/eligibility-applicant.htm hth

This is the website for ANMAC... http://www.anmac.org.au/ Just read on becaus eas what I have understood even if without an RN license you can apply for ANMAC full assessment..this is the only certification that DIAC will ask of you...if you ar approves by ANMAC then there is a big chance for you to get a PR but of course you have to consider the point system as well..goodluck!

thanks joiemike.. I already have an irish nursing license so I really dont know also if I will still need to do the BP since a lot of the nurses here be it Filipino, Indian etc.. they didnt go about it anymore since our BP here is credited in Australia, thats what they say anyway... so difinitely VIC is slow??? am i right? thanks guys..

Hello everyone! I d like to know who among you here lodged your Ahpra app to VIC, and the time frame for your app's assessment, thanks...

hi! id like to know if which Aphra office I will send my app? I think I have read somewhere in this thread before that WA processes faster than Sydney..Im just not too sure if im right...thanks.

and one more thingdo i need to submit employment cert from all the employers iv been with? or just for the past 5 yrs?

Hello and good day to all! Just like to know if u guys have any idea if one will still undergo the bridging course even if i am working here in Ireland for 4 years now? I am in the process of collecting all the necessary requirements for APRHA.. thanks

count me in too..it is true..got my results and i passed

Just take it easy..dont study anymore 2 days b4 the exam to refresh your mind..

I think the directions are on the first part of this thread..its the cc page you need to check on..not the money order. Congrats for passing..but the trick is real.

same here..the agony of waiting for the results sucks..but no choice..

yes i did get the good popup but im just afraid to believe it yet

I tested yesterday, is the pearsonvue trick works on a wkend as well?

Hi! I am taking my exam tomorrow the 20th..like you i average 60's in kaplan and 70's in saunders..just keep the faith and God will do the rest for you..

Most of my friends in the east enrolled with dr. martin and all of them passed..

Hyperthyroidism- Everything is high, fast and wet except Ca+...and eye manifestation..

Thanks, just verifying what information is given over the internet...not all are true u know, and given the fact that most of u guys have more knowledge into this, so i posted the question...im not looking for a short cut since im not interested in working over the US like everybody does...its purely verifying...

hi! i came to a site about nursing in canada and it says there after a year of having the work permit status, one can apply for permanent residency and if so..one can also move from canada to the us and then it says there one need not sit the nclex exam again..is that true? this is the exact post.. [color=#ff6600] [color=#ff6600]10. can i move from canada to usa? [color=#022e51]ans.[color=#022e51]yes, there are so many people moving from canada to usa after getting permanent residency in canada. you can also register directly in the usa without writing nclex again.

hahahaha..actually there is some truth to that :)
