Tracy has a nursing job secured, but unusually long wait times to receive her registration may mean she'll have to pass on the opportunity.
Hobart-registered nursing graduate Tracy Barton is due to start her dream job in one week's time — a graduate position with Tasmania's Health Service.Tracy Barton can't start her nursing job because delays in sending out certificatesBut despite achieving top marks at the University of Tasmania, and being awarded a highly sought-after job, she may not be eligible to start work because she is yet to receive her registration from the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency .
"To work so hard to then potentially lose the job because I can't get my registration to go through because of a delay, and not due to any other fault, is just a bit worrying.""Every day I check my emails about 10 times a day to see if there's an email from AHPRA to tell me I'm registered," she said.
AHPRA said the standard wait time was four to six weeks, but it was experiencing a high volume of applications, so time frames could be longer.
