Nursing in Sydney??

Hey all...I am an ICU/CCU CCRN with 8 years of experience, considering a move to Sydney in the summer. Can anyone give me an idea of the job market there? I will be coming from a large teaching hospital in the US. Any suggestions on hospitals to pursue? Any advice on the pay rate I can expect? Thanks for any and all help

    Same as other posts.

    Have you sorted registration? Be aware meeting requirements both as a RN and immigration will take a few more months that you think

    You're probably going to want to work in the public system, which is where the highest acuity is. A quick Wikipedia search shows that Nepean (outside metropolitan Sydney), Royal North Shore, Royal Prince Alfred, St Vincent's and Westmead hospitals have coronary care and/or cardiac units; I assume Liverpool, which has a new trauma centre, probably does too but in all cases it's probably a good idea to check out the hospitals' websites before making any decisions.

    SilverDragon's suggestion that you allow a lot more time than you expect for Australian registration and entry visa is a wise one.

    Good luck :)

    See here for general employment conditions and penalty rates, and here for base pay rates (see Schedule A, part B).
