WellEndowed:The one year study i was talking about is not a conversion program. It is a post RN program that awards a bsn degree on completion.. For example Deakin University has the program. This is totally different from a conversion or bridging program. The conversion program is compulsory for international nurses but the 1 year RN to bsn is not, I suggested that because it will give the nurses opportunity to get their bsn degrees and complete any deficiencies they may have. Since you claim i know nothing about nursing in Australia why don't you show us the right way,the others and i will be glad to learn a thing or two from you. I have not met anyone that satisfied Nmc requirements without one or two deficiencies but then again I'm no expert in these things. And was it really necessary to go through my previous posts? The salaries i posted was gotten online from a nursing site, if those people have a different rate then they should post theirs online too. These things are not fixed and they vary from site to site. I didn't mislead anyone i just posted what i found. 8 Likes 1 Share |

barbiee: That opportunity you are talking about is called a conversion program. A person who studied in for example a third world country cannot meet NMC requirement in Australia. NEVER. That is why it is requirement that you enrol in a program to bring you up to speed with the Australian curriculum. That program for the upteenth time is called the conversion program Sigh. Listen Barbie. Internationally qualified nurse has to do a conversion program. It is either a 3 months program and you come out with a certificate stating "Diploma of Nursing-Registered Nurse" or 1 year program with a certificate stating "Bachelor of Science-Nursing(Registered)". This program is called conversion/bridging program because there some units of study you have to undertake to fill out any in your word "deficiencies" in study from your country (e.g Nigeria). What do you think conversion program means?just to change from one certificate to the other? not just that....it is that extra units/study you have to undertake to meet the requirements of working in Australia as a nurse. There are some units not taught in Nigeria that are taught in Australia or some units not clearly defined in your curriculum. It is a program AHPRA advises you enrol in with units you have to undertake to fill up any gaps from your previous studies. It doesn't matter except you want to do a Masters but if you want to work in Australia with a "Nigerian certificate" or as an internationally qualified nurse, you must enrol in those units. Now people refuse to do the 1 year program because it is too long and too expensive. AHPRA provided even shorter programs hence the 3 month one so the inpatient ones can get out quicker and apply for registration and start working. There are many universities in Australia that offer that 1 year course and 3 months course. Even Murdoch university in Western Australia amongst many offer the course...BUT YOU NEED TO LISTEN TO ME NOW BARBIEE WITH BOTH EARS OPEN, I CANNOT KEEP REPEATING MYSELF...YOU CANNOT ENROL SAY FOR EXAMPLE BY YOURSELF AT DEAKIN UNIVERSITY AND THEN PLAN TO PRACTICE IN AUSTRALIA. IF YOU WANT TO WORK IN AUSTRALIA, AHPRA WILL GIVE YOU A LIST OF THE UNIVERSITIES YOU CAN APPLY TO. THEY GIVE YOU THIS INFORMATION WHICH YOU TAKE TO THE UNI. YOU CAN DECIDE TO DO AN INTENSIVE 3 MONTHS PROGRAM OR THE 1 YEAR PROGRAM, WHICHEVER WAY, IF YOU ENROL IN DEAKIN WITHOUT AHPRA'S APPROVAL, WITHOUT AHPRA TELING YOU IT'S OKAY TO STUDY AT DEAKIN, YOU BETTER FLUSH THAT MONEY IN THE TOILET BECAUSE YOU JUST WASTED YOUR TIME. I AM ON MY KNEES. PLEASE DO NOT LET ME REPEAT MYSELF AGAIN Going through your posts? are you okay at all? do you know I have been following this thread since day 1(long before I registered on Nairaland) but the first time I posted in here was when you expressed your desire to be worshipped by your patients . 4 Likes 3 Shares |

Now after all that. My first way of showing people the way is to follow the guidelines on the AHPRA site...that is not the point of this post of mine. I posted earlier the importance of researching benefits each country has to offer before making a decision. Now seeing that you are looking at the US, Nigerians have this habit of "do as I do" a.k.a "follow follow" hence my post here asking that people not do "follow follow" but look at the bigger picture and long term goals before they decide on which country to go for. Every health care practitioner should know the importance of universal health care. I am Nigerian as well and the reason why I have sworn not to practise in Nigeria is because of our useless health care system. Someone I know recently had a major impromptu surgery. Always been healthy. No medical condition/diagnosis really. But she lived in a country with universal health care. After 12 days she was discharged and paid not a single dime for hospital bill. In a country without universal health care, that will cost tens of thousands of dollars. My cousin's 6 year old son a British citizen(Both parents British) but was born and lived in Nigeria then was called lazy by his teachers. 2 hospitals in lagos cleared him as fine. This boy could not run 10 meters without gasping for breath. I said doctors said he was fine just lazy. On a trip to the UK for vacation, the boy couldn't go for long walks without suffering from shortness of breath. They took him to see a doctor who requested tests to be carried out on him. Do you know this boy was suffering from congenital heart defect and all that time teachers and doctors called him lazy. He went in for surgery in the UK and they fixed the condition. No hospital bill. We try to be strong, hey we are healthy. Infact the day a Nigerian told me she was going to see a dentist my Nigerian nyash screamed "ehnnn...Ajebutter has killed you, how can a Nigerian go see a dentist, wetin do you teeth. Abomination" But the truth of the matter is, no one can be sure. No one can predict what will happen, it could be a minor procedure or a major one...BUT FOR THE SAKE OF YOUR CHILDREN BOTH BORN AND UNBORN MAKE SURE THEY HAVE ACCESS TO GOOD HEALTH CARE SYSTEM 10 Likes 2 Shares |

barbiee: I think so. The council has a policy of using the date of the most recent license. CGFNS needs the date of the very first ever license issue. Until the council provides that to match the information I had earlier submitted to them. I am stuck in limbo 1 Like |

barbiee: I am only on my knees when I do naughty things fendorf: For example ETEA college Heidelberg, Victoria cost 12000 dollars. For the IELTS, you need 7 on each band or write the OET exam and get a b module. Many do the OET because even those from non English speaking country pass. Better outcome with that one fendorf: I don't know what you are talking about |

What of those with BNSC in Nigeria do they need to do additional programme in australia before they write their professional exam |
Re: Nigerian Nurses And Midwives With The Dream Of Working Abroad Let's Meet Here. by Nobody: 12:22pm On Jun 28, 2016 |
There is no "professional exam" to sit for in Australia, unlike Canada and US. There are four English exams you can choose from. You only have to write one of them and pass before applying to AHPRA. I think 3 of the exams are available in Nigeria (ielts, toefl, ?pearson) 1. Pearsons 2. TOEFL 3. IELTS 4. OET You apply to AHPRA. Get enrolled into the conversion program/course. Do course assignments/homework which includes a drug calculation test, maximum 8 weeks clinical practical/placement in a hospital all done within that 3 months. 99.9% of foreigners must do additional program for their certificate to be recognized. The only difference is you do not sit for a professional exam. You only need to sit for the english exam 2 Likes |
