hi all

as the title suggests can you have your nurse file sent to any board or only the ones that say i.e. SA and QLD say you can on the form.
what about NBWA?

cheers

I just put a cover letter in with my skills application asking them to send my file on to my chosen nursing board (QLD) once they had finished with it.

hi mrs JFW

thanks for your reply...also pleased you are enjoying life down under!

now, QLD and SA both do say on their apps that you can have your file sent straight to them..but NBWA dont specifically say that

so i was wondering if you can have it sent to the NBWA or have to start fresh with everything

i just wonder if anyone that registered with NBWA did that

cheers

Hi Debbie,

I wonder if it might be worth emailing NBWA to ask if you can forward the file from ANMC. It would save so much hassel if ANMC could just send it on.

Yes we are really enjoying ourselves here in Bris. Best thing we ever did! Its a bit of a stress at first getting everything organised but it soon all falls into place. We are going on our first camping trip next weekend!!

debbieuk

enjoy your camping!!!!

i love camping in the UK so hope to try in OZ
took you advice and rang the NBWA this morning

phew! they were lovely..yes i can have anmc sent to them.no i dont need the english test and i only need the police check if they ask for it.


karma sent for your help

I have only just started my application process, however on investigation, I discovered that the cheapest way of applying to nurse in Oz, was to send my documents to the state I wanted to nurse in and then apply for a short assessment to the ANMC, it saved me loads of money.

I applied to the board of Victoria and it took just under 5 weeks to receive my registration. I am visiting Melbourne before making my application to the ANMC but it will be just a short assessment and won't cost anywhere near as much as doing the full assessment with the ANMC.

hi whitesatin
yes it is cheaper but takes longer so its swings and roundabouts

i am old and running out of time so i needed to have skills assessment done first then apply for visa....then while i am waiting for that i can apply for my reg

otherwise i will have been waiting for my reg then ANMC then applying for visa theoretically adding 6-8 more weeks in waiting time and i am going crazy now

different strokes and all that

good luck

Can you give us any advice re: making sure the professional reference has all the correct information. We are applying on a 175 (old 136 ???) any hints and tips would be appreciated

thanks

hi harry & elaine

welcome to BE nurses!

good luck with your journey it seems to take forever! and i am only at the first hurdle but almost over it i hope.

my skills assessment is due any time now i am expecting it week after next but they told me 8 - 10 weeks and this is week 8!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i will pm you my ref letter once i have removed all my personal details as last time i did that i posted ALL MY DETAILS on this forum...duh!

obviously as my skill assessment hasnt come through yet use it with caution but i got it from some one who had passed

all the best
