Best place to settle down

Hello
From my house it is a 20 minute drive to the Gold Coast Hospital. A very busy ED. I've worked there in the past. There is also Robina ED. Most specialities are at the Gold Coast Hospital.
In South Brisbane there are two major hospitals with EDs. The Princess Alexander ( PA ) is a huge hospital. Very busy ED. About 50 - 60 minutes drive.
Also in south Brisbane and a little closer to the Gold Coast is Logan Hospital. 45 minutes drive.
With regard to the other criteria. Plenty of hills and countryside, for specialist fashion shops the Gold Coast and Brisbane centre have a large range.
Lots of outdoor activities and nice weather to be outside.
Lastly, pets. We have two dogs, a cat and three fish.
I also like Melbourne. Great restaurants, vibrant city but can be cold.
All the best

Hi
I have never worked at PA ED. Most EDs will orientate people for at least a few days and then you will work with more experienced people.
Some courses will be in-hospital. As a guess most nurses, once they decide on an area they wish to specialise in, will complete a course at a local uni. Usually a diploma for example.
Some EDs will start inexperienced nurses in the short stay areas and build up to acute. The PA will have a routine orientation plan for new nurses, they could explain it in more detail.
Triage is always for very experienced nurses.
Good luck with your choice. If I can answer any more questions I do not mind. However, I do not work hospitals anymore so I can only tell you how things were up until last year or so.
