In the public sector in Adelaide there are not enough jobs for graduates and all RN and EN jobs seem to be one year contracts.

I'm going back to Adelaide soon - that is not good news. I've worked a lot at the RAH, but I also find that you get lots of work in the private hospitals. R u looking for work Scrubby? Sportsmed are always looking for RNs.

I have a permanent full time position in a public hospital, very lucky!

If you're interested in theatres, RAH is advertising.

I've already re-applied to the RAH. They told me to ring them after I get back next week, so I'll set up a time, etc. Otherwise I can get work thru Mediserve when I get back.

Email me if you like, what hospital are you working at?
