nursing assessment - help!?
 

can any nurses advise me?? I am looking to get my nursing qualification assessed at the end of the year to then submit pr application early next year. I have downloaded info and the application form from the anci, but have a couple of questions!!
- where on earth do I go to get a transcript of my training now that the place I trained at is now closed? I did the old style training (pre-project 2k) and the school of nursing shut down a couple of years after I qualified. the rcn website doesnt seem togive specific answers and the link to the nursing in Australia helpsheet doesnt work. the nmc also doesnt seem to be too helpful (but what did I expect!)
- how long is the assessment valid for? I understand the anc take a couple of months before you actually get your bit of paper! Having looked at other postings about this, a couple mentioned getting copies; does this mean asking for copies when you apply or just photocopying them and then getting them notarised? If I get the assessment done but then leave it 6/9/12 months before submitting my pr application, will the anci still be valid?

Thanks evr so much guys......
thought it would be straightforward until I realised Hillingdon School of Nursing didnt exist any more....!!

thanks in anticipation!

I've just had my skills assessed by the ANC and had the same problem as you with my school of nursing being no more!!
I contacted the NMC and they send the ANC a transcript of the most relevant syllabus that i covered during my training.Telephone them on (0044)2073336620 - verification departement.
The ANC assessment is valid for 2 years. I made my own copies and had them certified by a solicitor. The ANC keep all the stuff you send them and send you back their one letter !! They took about 4 weeks to process it all.
Good luck !! We've just applied for our skilled indep visa so are on the waiting game now!!

Hi Sue,
We applied at the end of June and haven't heard a peep yet, hoping that something happens in the next couple of weeks though.

Skills assessment only took 4 weeks by the way.

Your case should fall within the priority processing time scale of 4-6
months.

Transcripts for ANCI
 

Hi Sue

My skills assessment took just over 4weeks to be sent.
ANCI were happy to accept syllabus of training which was relevant at the time I did my training which was 1981-84( My school of nursing had also closed down)
NMC sent copy of syllabus of training direct to ANCI.They wouldn't send me a copy.
We submitted our skilled independent visa application beginning of July and we had visas granted on 6 August (Austimeline link below)

http://www.austimeline.com/austime/a...App.jsp?id=936

I didn't send a copy of my transcript of training with our visa application as as I said earlier the NMC wouldn't let me have one.I just sent the original skills assessment and this must have been acceptable.
Hope this info helps

I hope this info will help you.

If your former school was closed, you may request your current licensing board to send ANC their curriculum requirements for licensing RNs in your country, as proof of your education experience. This is because it will show the criteria you met in order to be licensed and it will be used as a baseline for your education credits.

Your academic credits could be received from the licensing board that first licensed you as a RN; request them to send th info. to ANC in order for it to be viewed as an official record.

I believe your assessment results are valid for 2 years from the time you lodged your application.


Yes, ANC takes 4 to 8 weeks to deliver your assessment results.

Any photocopies you send to ANC have to to validated as true authentic copies of the original. Yes, they have to be notarized. However, do not send any originals because when applying for PR, DIMIA will require that you send them the same info. you sent to ANC. Any documents you send to ANC will be kept by ANC for a number of years--don't send originals!!
