hi lynn,

havent started any of the process as such, as im going rsms visa and the first parts are done by employer. dont need skills assessment with this visa and have to wait til i pass to register with qld, lucy is going to help me with that (lucy&rob) once i 'pass'.
thanks alot lynn, will definitely keep you posted, dreading it to say the least.
then got 3 weeks til finals...maybe charley boy and camilla the horse getting married the same day as results will be lucky?? we will see.

What a day. Full of cold, sore throat, stressed at work, pi**ed off with work, its cold, wet and I feel generally miserable.
Then guess what, arrive home to find a letter from Nursing board of NSW.
The long winded letter says my disclosure of past criminal convictions and application for registration has been heard by the board. They wish to draw my attention to the code of professional conduct, a copy of which they enclosed.

The last line then says my application has been accepted and my certificate will follow seperately.

Talk about panic! They really know how to get your ticker going.

So Im finally getting my registration. I have my modified skills assessment form completed and just need to get my solicitor friend to do his bit. Hopefully get it sent off by the end of next week. I've started my visa application already and I can see there will be a few questions for you kind people.
But thats for the future. Tonight Im gonna celebrate passing the first 'test', and have a pint.........of water after my Wednesday 5 a side game. Beer will have to wait until the weekend.

Congratulations Paul!!!!!!!! Very good news, get stuck into the now!

God the board sounds stuffy don't they!!?
Will you have to disclose anything on the other forms or should you be ok now?

Any Q's just fire away anytime!

Congratulations on the registration Paul. The Doctor didn't appear to test for beer just HIV, Hep B and Hep C.

Have you made your mind up which country you are going to yet Paul? As from all accounts it's going to be a ball ache literally to get into NZ shortly.

Thanx folks, really feel like things are progressing now. Hopefully the skills assessment wil be fairly quick, then its the visa itself, medicals police checks etc. Me and the wife chatted last night and we will put the house up for sale once the visa application has been sent. (She has heard a story of someone getting a 136 visa after 6 weeks of applying).
Anyone wanna buy a house???????????? I begrudge paying the estate agent fees so may try the net to sell it. Anyone any advice?

I was looking at NZ, I guess keeping my options open, but feel Oz is the better option for various reasons. We still plan to go to North New South Wales, work options are good, and we are country bumpkins, not city dwellers!
Im off to cure the mentally ill (but who can help me)

Ann - do you think you will have long to wait now? I have heard little whispers of visa's being granted in 8 weeks after medicals being recieved

When does your hubbie get his BP checked again at practice nurse? I bet you are obsessively checking it at home aren't you!!? Has it been lower? Maybe he will need to go on anti-hypertensive medication to lower it? I'm sure that wouldn't affect the application. Get him on the Benecol yoghurts and drinks - plant cholesterols or something.

He goes again Monday or Tuesday then will post off to GP then wait to see what Oz says and fingers crossed no cardiologist or more money to shell out. We'll have nothing left if we get there at this rate. He is fine at home just Doctors scare him....not sure if Benecol works with stress.

Spent today putting units in laundry room and building and waxing radiator cover in hall. Bl**dy house will be spot on when we sell it.

lynnlovessun

Well best of luck!

I am the same - I won't want to sell my house by the time I've finished doing it up, although hubbie going at a snails pace with the D.I.Y

Hungover today - was at an Ann Summers party last night - had a great laugh Oh well off to cook a mothers day masterpiece gourmet meal now

Hubby did have sudden burst of speed on the diy over last week so can't complain.

Waiting in today for people to look at dogs and they are late as he went to his mothers and hasn't returned yet.

Hope they are interested as said willing to take both.

Hi everyone

Well, it worked!!!!!
We decided to go away for a week as we couldn't stand getting up at ridiculous hours just to check the e-mails.
I gave my dad strict instructions not to ring me unless it was to say the visa had been granted - and he rang on Friday.
I can't tell you what a great feeling it is - but the nerves have also kicked in now.
Anyway we are booking flights tomorrow hopefully for 31 March/1 April so we are not hanging around. For those of you who know, we have been living at my parents for 2 months so getting the visa now makes the next few weeks a bit more manageable.

Best of luck to everyone still waiting!!!!!!!!!!!

PS - frontloaded application received in Adelaide 30 November, money debited 6 December - VISA GRANTED 4 MARCH

Cheers
Joanne
