As the NMBA’s Recency of Practice Registration Standard
clearly stipulates the requirement for a nursing role,
remunerated or not, then it is reasonable to assume that
any nursing work is included in hours of practice. These
Standards also make reference to the importance of lifelong
learning, related to nursing or translated through
a nursing worldview, with an articulated connection to
practice. This can well be achieved in a student role while
undertaking postgraduate study.
If a nurse or midwife is working in Australia or overseas
in a nurse or midwife role, as defined previously, and
holds a valid registration, then any hours worked may
contribute to the required 3 months of ”recent” practice
for registration. Bullet points 2 and 3 above could definitely
apply to relevant postgraduate education in nursing,
which may be undertaken in Australia or abroad.
Bullet point 3 does not specify that the course or program
must be NMBA approved. As calculation of time is not specified, it can be interpreted that postgraduate
nursing study deemed relevant would contribute toward
the required 3 months of “recent” practice.
Then there is the issue of leave. The Standard states:
Extended time away from practice as a result of illness or
any type of leave will not be counted as practice. (NMBA,
2010)
