  1. Uk nurse wants to work in OZ but not do nights. Is it possible??

    Plenty of agency work so you won't have do nights. Some agency's have contracted work for 1-6 months. A little side tip. There is no 'Z' in Australia. It's Aus as in Aussie not ozzie and not even god will be able to help you if you call a female a ...
  2. continental travel nurse

    I 100% agree with your comments. I find the disorganisation infuriating. Every single worker I have spoken to has had documents lost. They to me my first contract and I negotiated the next 3 in the same area myself. I am still employed by them only f...
  3. NMC pack 2 waiting times

    It took about 6 weeks for me to receive mine in Australia. I sent it in around the same time as you last year. They send it second class and you need to take into account they have a rest/sleep/booze up during christmas and new year, so it will proba...
  4. Moving to UK guide

    Hi C.Rene I did all the paperwork before I arrived in the UK. It is a long time consuming process and just when you think you have everything you need there will be something else pop up. It will test your patience to the limit. They sent me all the...
  5. Moving to UK guide

    Jhan have you completed your ONP? Some girls I did this with didn't get jobs until they had finished this. I don't know why. I let them believe I had other options and would take them if I wasn't given definant job. I didn't have contacts, but I di...
  6. Moving to UK guide

    I'm in the UK at the moment and had no problems finding work. I'm with continental travel nurse agency. I had the choice between two different hospitals when I arrived. I have been working over time every week. I average 10 hour overtime. You should...
  7. Clinical hours short of NMC suggestion?

    NoleNurse I don't mind being agency. I like that I'm not commited to anywhere. I feel like I have some control over where I am and what I'm doing, and I don't feel I get caught up in the politics of wards/areas. The NHS is pretty similar to the healt...
  8. Clinical hours short of NMC suggestion?

    I was lucky I only had to wait 3 weeks for my PIN but some have had to wait longer. The hospital I work for is happy to check electronic that I'm registered and then bring in the PIN card for offical view but some hospitals will not let people start ...

    Thanks :) My PIN has arrived and I have had my first day of orientation. I will post about my experiences when I'm a little more settled. The ONP - the third day is the exam day. You will also hand in your workbook. You will then come back later in ...
  10. Questions about moving to and working in Australia

    I would recommend a few years experience to really secure work and if possible specialise in an area. You need to make yourself desireable compared to other job seekers. At the end of the year there will be a massive amount of nurses who have just qu...
  11. Clinical hours short of NMC suggestion?

    Hi, 25,000 Australian dollars will be plenty of money but if you meant 2,500 that wont cover much at all. Not even your flight if it is short notice. The registration process for both the UK and Australia is pretty similar and both frustrating and s...
  12. Clinical hours short of NMC suggestion?

    Hi Migraineattack, I have finished the ONP with Bournemouth and passed the workbook and the 30 minute multichoice exam. It was pretty easy. I finished my book by the second week. It isn't difficult, but it is time consuming because you spend hours l...
  13. Maybe my training was different to yours but there were 30 in a class and there is no way a lecture would have the time to supervise every student administer an IM injection or any other procedure. When were training to draw blood we trained on plast...
  14. What is mean of notarized application?

    Notarised means having the original document viewed by either a justice of the peace, police officer, lawyer and there are others but I'm not sure of them all in your country. They view the original and then stamp and sign your photocopy to say it is...
  15. Clinical hours short of NMC suggestion?

    Yes I guess I am snarky and offended about the comment. I'm just blown away by the announcement then the refusal to offer assistance. I guess it's just I would share that information to help others, and I didn't think I was asking anything to perso...
