It will all fall into place soon. Nurses are in demand and are fast tracked so you won't go far wrong.
It could be a lot worse. Some people wait up to 2 years or more!
Just take one step at a time.
Good luck

Me Relax! Not done that for years - that's why I want to move
Can you advise me when the transcripts etc from the NMC in the UK should be sent to the Nursing board. I belive that the NMC will not send it direct to us for us to send it on but they will post it direct to the Aus Nursing Board. Obviously I dont want them sending it on before our app has arrived. Do you wait until the Aus Board request it or do you arrange for it to be sent after a short time?

Hope you managed to get a good night's kip after all your help yesterday. Have asked you another Q in reply to Grayling's comments.

You will need to apply to the NMC (and pay them) before sending your application to the ANC or any of the state boards.

Hiya Richard
Slept well thanks
Having a nice red tonight feeling chilled!
I got NMC to write to both Queensland and the ANC at the same time as you only pay once.
At that point I was just sending stuff of to the Queensland Nursing Council and going on a Skiing holiday!
So I emailed the ANC explaining that the verification would be coming from the NMC but they didn't have an application from me as I was waiting for a document and I was on holiday!
A really nice lady emailed me straight away and said not to worry systems were in place to store odd bits of paper and to enjoy my holiday and not worry!
Anyway It was ok as I have both back now

Me again.The man at the NMC told me I had to apply to the ANC first and then Queensland and shouldn't send both at the same time!
I stuck to my guns and told him about this site and all the other nurses that had done this!!!! anyway he agreed to do it my way!

We have postponed our shippers once already and may well have to do it again
We have had the obligatory leaving do, which was very hard, my father-in-law has had a stroke this last week... so you see in our personal circumstances, the wait last year for the ANC assessment was fairly stress free.
Once our application 47SK went off to Adelaide I felt quite relaxed as it was out of our hands and all we had to do was wait!!

I can see your point !We're putting the house on the market in a couple of weeks as I've a feeling it will take ages to sell.
Sorry about your father in law hope it wasn't too bad.

Hi Nikki
Thanks for your thoughts. He is on the mend, just waiting now for brain scan and carotid doppler. Just relieved that it wasnt too serious and that we were still here... I guess every cloud and all that!!
Good Luck with the house sale. There are only 3 of us in our chain with us being the third and we found out last week that number 1 do not even have their mortgage offer yet. Estate agent trying to reassure us that this can take up to 8 weeks as they are buying house number 2 to let. Apparently they applied on 26th March, so who knows maybe they will get it very very soon
Dont understand it all really. But we have had to cancel shippers again and tell them that we will ring them when we have a more concrete date. It has been a pain really. I have written letters to the school, then written revised letters etc etc.
And even more worrying is that I have now finished work so hope this delay doesnt last too long

Hi Nikki - glad to hear you are chilled out - not too tipsy I trust!
Just arrived home after picking up one of the children from air cadets. Do they have air cadets in Aus?
I presume that the state nursing boards have a way of dealing with bits of post that they cannot match up with an application also like the ANC.

Thanks for your note - have you found that the state boards are able to match up your app with the NMC stuff that they may have received before your app!
Also, out of interest did you go down the ANC route first or just deal with the state boards. The consensus of opinion seems to be that registering only with the state boards is best, kicvking the ANC into touch.

As soon as assessment arrived, we were ready to go and everything went off together to ASPC.
Good Luck, the waiting around is the easy bit looking back now!!!

Front loading your application means having police checks and medicals done and sending results off with the main application to the ASPC. They dont recommend that you do this, however most of us nurses on here have done it as we are pretty certain of getting our visas. You just have to be aware that police checks are only valid for one year and may need to be redone if you are waiting longer than this for your visa (i think medicals are valid for one year only too) Hope this helps
