2. Reasons to work in Australia

   pie_face replied to JadedCPN's topic in Australia

   What a comprehensive and informative post, and I bow to your superior skills in searching the internet, I wonder if you would be able to post the details of the Work and Holiday visa (subclass 462). Could this be the visa Tyler's recruiter was referi...

3. agency nurse applying for work in Australia

   pie_face replied to nursey2008's topic in International

   I think you might be worrying too much about the reference issue, as long as you get two people, if you're a very recent grad it could be a tutor or clinical supervisor, and your current employer, you should have no problems. Think of it this way, i...

   pie_face replied to JadedCPN's topic in Australia

   Your recruiter does know what they are talking about, if you are under 30 you can get a working tourist visa, which is valid for a year, if you are over 30 you can only work if sponsored or a permanent resident, or citizen.

6. agency nurse applying for work in Australia

   pie_face replied to nursey2008's topic in International

   As long as you have registration in oz, and can scrape together a couple of professional references you should have little trouble finding a job, either with an agency or directly through a hospital. I walk past the vacancy board every day on my way...

7. failed NCLEX... heartbroken..need help

   pie_face replied to krnruby's topic in NCLEX

   Sorry you failed, but you obviously have the ability to pass, all the advice given is good, I just wanted to share what worked for me, beg or borrow as many cd-roms as you can get your hands on, regularly do a test of 75 questions, review your result...

8. US Citizen: wants to be educated in Australia

   pie_face replied to JayH's topic in International

   As previously stated I am relaying information gained from colleagues and students I have worked with over the past three years, the most common grumble is too much time in school not enough time in practice. If you disagree then I'm happy for you, b...

9. US Citizen: wants to be educated in Australia

   pie_face replied to JayH's topic in International

   I believe the student in question had stayed on to do honours thus I included the extra year. However it is also possible to do a masters in two years and gain registration, if you already have a first degree. So not all courses are three years. I'm ...

11. US Citizen: wants to be educated in Australia

    pie_face replied to JayH's topic in International

    Mate if there is any possible way to study in the US then do it, your tuition fees here will be $30,000+, then everything else on top, and honestly you may find that the training is better at home, the average Aus nursing student gets very limited cl...

12. moving to sydney which hospital does 12hr shifts?

    pie_face replied to scots's topic in International

    Some areas in POW offer 12 hour shifts, but none of the surgical wards do (to my knowledge), you could always do agency work, as opposed to working permanently for an agency, if you catch my drift, you may pick up a few 12h shifts a week especially i...

13. help, think nursing agency scamming

    pie_face replied to scots's topic in International

    Find the hospital you wish to work in and contact them direct, they will, more than likely be over the moon to hear from you, and bend over backwards to find you the job you want. They will be as practiced in organising visas as any agency, and you w...

15. Aussie Citizenship Test

    pie_face replied to nyapa's topic in International

    I wish they would scrap it, I have to wait four months to do it in sydney, and although they do'nt 'charge' you for it I don't think it's a coincidence that the application fee doubled at the same time the test came in.
