hi again,

im so excited ive just got my registration from NSW Board now away to apply for my sponsorship visa. im going to be working on a surgical ward in RNS Hospital as you may have read before. Has anyone ouy there had or heard of anyone working there? I would just like to know if its a good teaching hospital, and what kind of reputation it has. o yeh and is the area nice. anything really so i can have a picture of what I'll soon be living in which I have been planning for almost a year. Most Scottish nurses I know did the working visa but I plan on settling in Sydney and travelling thre on my own. thanks anyone.

Hi,

I haven't worked at RNSH myself but my friend did. It is apparently an older hospital bricks and mortar wise but is a large full tertiery teaching hospital. It has an extensive critical care service and all specialties. I don't know if you will need it but the very cheap short term accomodation they can provide apparently doesn't have proper cooking facilites, just a microwave, but my friend lived there the entire six months she worked there and saved loads of money.

All the best, I loved living and working in Australia!

Hi, thanks for letting me know as I havent been told much about my jo or area which I am in the process of doing, but the agency that I am going with had told me there was no accommodation the hospital could provide????? Think I'll ask again. cheers.

Why don't you email the hospital nursing services directly and enquire about possible accommodation?
