Hi scirocco, from what I can remember, as well as requesting ANMAC forward my documents I sent my CV & a list of my CPD for the last 12 months. Approx a month after receiving my application AHPRA requested another verification of my registration with the NMC.

Forgot to say I also had the NMC & Uni complete the templates on the AHPRA website ( can't remember what criteria they were for) & send them directly to AHPRA?
Unfortunately the college where I did my original degree back in 1991 no longer exists & my transcript only mentioned pharmacology, so due to the fact that the NMC couldn't find a transcript of my training they sent a generic EU letter to try & cover the criteria for pharmokinetics etc. Will just have to wait & see if this will be enough. I'm currently a community nurse prescriber after completing my SCPHN degree but don't think this will have any bearing on their assessment. It's definitely a frustrating time.

Hi everyone, just to make you aware these are 2 tweets from AHPRA this morning in response to 2 questions posted by people.

DipHE is AQF level 6. IQNM Criterion 4 requires AQF7. Post reg nursing quals also considered. AQF info: bit.ly/1nDMGxh
The local Board is meeting on a fortnightly basis for those IQNM applications that require a decision of the local Board

Hi there,

Thank you for sharing that with us. That sounds pretty devastating to be honest, I just with they'd have made that clear BEFORE I spent months sending emails, making calls, sending shit to Oz and paying for the privilege, Ah well you win some and lose some!

I'm not sure how realistic this is going to be for AHPRA? Are they going to refuse re registration for the many many many dip he nurses already working in Oz? If not how is this equitable?

MOAN TIME

Up until Now...

I've been very patient, optimistic and determined. I haven't moaned about the obvious confusion and conflicting information that we read on here from each other about the AHPRA process - I wanted to show commitment should they be monitoring the forum -.

I believe they are totally right in expecting IQN's to meet their criteria as do the NMC with ourselves.

but...

I cannot believe that a lot of us on here have gone through all this to find out that our Diploma qualifications do not meet their criteria!!

I am so annoyed, almost angry and this should have been highlighted at the point of application. They knew the diploma wouldn't meet the criteria.

I'm really trying not to write what I'm actually saying while sat here typing.

Absolutely gutted!

further more - still ranting...

how on earth can they tweet a generalised statement like that when we all know that different countries Diplomas are all different from each other! (think that makes sense)

I also can't believe that they aren't happy with the fact my transcript says I covered pharmacology and drug calculations - they still want more. that's like saying my passport isn't proof of identity!

Shaun I feel your pain! This whole process has been one massive waste of time, money and effort! And I have washed my hands of the whole thing! Im so annoyed that no one throughout this whole process (even my case officer when I asked her directly) has told us "hey don't bother applying as you won't be accepted" but then how would they get £300 off you otherwise?!
AHPRA have not asked for any information but whats the point in sending any more information to be refused anyway? Grrrrrrrrrrrrr.

What I would like to know is does this mean that all the current Uk Dip He nurses out there will be refused registration when they try and renew their pin? The whole thing as pissed me off no end!

Scirocco

Thanks for the info BigMac1. I'm not feeling too optimistic now having read everyone's posts. I completely agree diplomas vary according to country where they were obtained. I've worked in critical care for the last few years, doesn't that count towards anything.

Picto1 I am in the same position as you, my transcript says everything but pharmokinetics, I contacted the agent I'm using and they said don't worry it's enough, obviously not. Wish I'd of applied to CARNE took their exam, at least I'd know one way or the other by now.

Hi everyone
I'm a band 7 midwife shift leader coordinator. I've been qualified for 10 years. My qualification is midwifery dip he, post qualifications are Mentorship and critical care at level 3.
I've already got my transcript from my university, but I'm wondering before I apply does this change in APHRA affect midwives as well?

Thanks
Kate
