New zealand nursing

Hi Frankcah,

I am an Aussie nurse who works in the psych field in Sydney. And just like every where else in the nursing world we are desperately short of nurses. If you do consider moving to Australia this is the link to the Australian Nursing Council site

http://allnurses.com/Boards_of_Nursing/International/

and just click on the Australian Nursing Council site. Over the years I have worked with many nurses from the UK (and from New Zealand). I doubt if you would have any problems with your qualifications transferring to Oz. The pay rates for public hospitals/facilities are based on award rates and in the private sector the rates are slightly more. Unfortunately, if you were to choose Sydney, the cost of living here is very expensive. In other capital cities and rural areas its less expensive.

Just remember, in the US, you will need insurance to be able to work - In Australia and New Zealand you dont.


Bye....
