Hello from fellow aussie nurse! I live and work in Cairns, Australia. We are a busy 6 theatre (soon to be 7) complex and do trauma, ortho, general, vascular, o&g, ENT, Opthalmology, urology... basically everything accept neuro and cardiac actually. But it is a great place to work, with no by-pass we see a lot of interesting stuff that we might not otherwise get to experience. Dave

Well I have been a theatre nurse for the past 8 years... and I love it, I would not do anything else; well I'll never say never but thats how I feel at the moment and I have all along. It DOES have it's moments and it is a "high-stress" area (mind you all nursing is stressful - granted) being an acute care area. But thats what I love about it and I never get tired of "looking inside" people- it is just plain cool and for the most part good fun. The other thing is that us theatre nurses are getting older - in Australia theatre nurses have one of the oldest "average age" compared to other areas - so new blood (sorry pun) is great! Dave
