hi. i just need your expertis on this. is there anyone here who pay AHPRA using money order from Philippines? is it possible? how dd you do it? thanks...

its expensive really expensive. but VCHN is very accomodating. sometimes they are strict in assessments and exams but they will always give you a chance to redo it so that you can pass it. theory part is just discussion and some procedures. but you will learn everything in your clinical placement. VCHN will help you. they will organize you from day 1 until the end...

no need to certify your documents for VCHN you just scan the original then send it to them. the important thing is to pay your fees. when you get here in Oz they will certify your documents just show them the original and its free. so i think it will save your money a bit. i hope this helps....

hi.. who will be attending the BP in VCHN perth campus on monday (january 24)? any classmates here? when is your flight? thanks...

yup you are right... im here in UK now. I have my decision letter from NMC but then i cannot go to adapatation as i cannot find any employer. it is very hard here to get an employer and harder to get work permit as they prioritize EU rather than us. From september 2010 i think if im not mistaken nurses from EU doesnt need any exam to practice nursing here and they dont need work permit thats why employer in UK gets EU applicant rather than non-EU, easy processing and less expensive for the employer. NOw, NHS is not anymore offering adaptation for overseas nurses from non-EU. But there are some employers who still doing it but i dont know here they are hehe but i heard some news about it here. anyway just having you an idea. its hard here really hard. im not discouraging you but UK now is not the right place for overseas nurses, thats the truth. and as i heard on april 2011 cap immigration will be fully implemented this will limit each employer to provide sponsorship for work permit minimizing the entry of non-EU workers... anyway dont stop keep persuing your dreams whatever it is... Godbless

i wrote General Nurse..

i dont really know the answer to your question as i don't experience it. me, i separated it. i notorized the second set when i received my pack 2.

hi there i will try my best to answer your question.. 1. yes you can count it, the prep and kinder, as long as you have the evidence that you complete it like diploma or certificate. in my case i don't take prep nor kinder school that's why in my application i just put 1- years on it. and its ok i got my decision letter. 2. school general education certificates to show length of schooling is the the diploma in elementary and high school although most of the diplomas or certificates do not indicate the length of schooling however NMC knows how many years to complete a general education in each country. for example in the Philippines they know that elementary is 6 years and high school is 4 years. You just have to show them your evidence of completion like what i mentioned above. also you will submit your diploma in college as the evidence of completion of you bachelor of science in Nursing. all documents to be sent to them should be notorized or certified true copy. i hope it helps you..

absolutely no.. except for the courier cost..

wow good to heart that i have a clasmate in january 2011.. i hope to see you all in Oz...

hi count me in.. lol.. im in for VCHN on january 2011..

yup your ER physician can signed it. the important thing about that is the official stamp of your hospital.. that's what they need..

BSN diploma only..

I am AHSE for 2 years and 2 years BSN.. i was then approved by NMC..

the professional reference can be filled up bby you medical director.. documents to be notarized are passport, birth certificate, registration certificate, nursing diploma, highschool diploma, elementary diploma. a post registration experience requires 12 months full time or part time equivalent. this experience must commence after you are qualify as a registered nurse in your own country. how ever i cannot answer your question regarding clinic experience as a volunteer as NMC dont have specific rules for that. here is the rule which i quoted from NMC regarding post registration experience... Practice requirements When you apply you must have been practising as a registered nurse or midwife for at least 12 months (full-time or the part-time equivalent) after qualifying. Also, if you have been qualified for longer than this, you must have practised for at least 450 hours in the previous three years. If you do meet NMC requirements, but have not practised as a nurse for more than five years, you will have to take a longer version of the Overseas Nurses Programme. If you have not gained 12 months post-registration experience after you qualified as a nurse then you should not apply for registration.
