Thanks gwenith!!! I never thought about that, just excited to have a grad position. Purplemeech I have worked full time shift work before and although late/earlys are killers i enjoy the time off it allows as gwenith said. I know if you choose 10 hours breaks, if you doing a late/early you start at 9am for early or start earlier for late , as in start at 1330.

Hi purplemeech Where abouts are you doing your grad program? I've also just graduated and am doing my grad program at ******

This is some information from RBWH website Helpful information for overseas applicants If you are from overseas and considering moving to Australia to work, there are plenty of online resources to assist you with your planning. Tourism Queensland provides a list of Queensland Visitor Information Centres, Queensland public holidays, essential services, travel tips and much more. Information about Brisbane is also available. Assistance with immigration, customs and travel can be found at the http://www.immi.gov.au/migration site. You may also be interested in learning about Australian wages and conditions of employment

I have just completed my degree at USQ (toowoomba campus). All the lecturers there are very helpful. If you nedd more information prehaps you should get in contact with the post graduate coordinator, not sure who that is, have a look on website. During my degree on different pracs, rural remote and metro, USQ has a very good reputation as producing nursing students and graduates. I have never heard of anyone having trouble with USQ students.

Tina, I have just completed my degree at USQ and you will find that you never will ever get all those competencies marked off. They use it to make sure you somplete the clinical objectives that are set for that placement marked off. Good luck with rest of degree!!

This late in the year you will probably not be able to get into a grad program for the start of next year but will be able to for mid year graduate program intake. However if you will be here next year I have heard that Ipswich Hospital is still looking for grads to fill their program for next year. If your interested you'd have to ring Chris Holligum who is the prgram coordinator and talk to her about it. Hope this helps! BTW Ipswich is about 40 mins from Brisbane CBD and is serviced by buses, trains. Rent is also alot cheaper than brisbane.
