Unemployed Graduate Nurse needs CPD hours for Registration

Published

Hi

I am an unemployed graduate registered nurse in Australia. My registration will end in May and I need to do 20 hours of CPD to renew my registration. I have no idea where I can complete my CPD as I am not working as a nurse!

AHPRA hasnt been very helpful with my situation and I am now stressing out. Its not my fault I can't find employment as a graduate nurse.

I will be grateful for any help :)

Have you read any articles? Completed any continuing education modules? Websites such as nursing for nurses should help with free CPD. Also simply search "free CPD for nurses". If you are registered as active you need to complete CPD.

As long as you can show that the CPD met your learning objectives it doesnt matter whether it was from a non-australia organistation.

However it is best to check that whatever you are learning is used in Australia
