The recruitment agency is called "ANCHOR", based in Australia

hi, i got a response back from my enquiry so i though i would share it with you guys: "thank you for contacting us with the your plan to nurse in australia by utilising our free service to all nurses internationally. most australian facilities insist on at least 1 year’s experience before they will consider you for a responsible job. you will also have to be registered in australia before any facility will even look at you, and this is currently taking from 6 to 9 months for approval. all registration is handled federally now not by each australian state. refer www.ahpra.gov.com.au for application form download. before registration is approved you will need to pass a compulsory “ eilts” test despite your english background so refer www.eilts.org for test sites etc. thirdly you will need to pass a medical and hold a valid visa. i suggest you use a “working holiday visa*” if aged between 18 and 30 years *.( *used to be 18 to 25 years but now changed) refer www.immi.gov.com.au for data on medicals, visa conditions etc which all must be followed exactly. these wh*visas which are only issued once, go stale after 6 months if unused so watch your timing. once you are suitably qualified, registered, passed both the medical and eilts test and have the minimum experience suggested above, then we will be able to assist you in finding a suitable/matched position in australia. we are a specialist recruitment agency equipped to find nursing jobs , all free of charge to you, so study the requirements hard and complete the applications very accurately then email us again when you receive your registration approval and are ready to “move” and we will assist you each step of the journey. do not pay anyone for immigration advice as this is free apart from the actual cost of the “wh visa*” itself, so if any queries arise, re-contact us for a prompt and factual reply"

I came across this site and it set my thought processes going http://www.nurseonholidays.com/. However, when I have tried to search to jobs in the Pacific for nurses in general I have struggled. has anyone out there done this or know anything? Thanks x

Hey guys Any Uk nurse been or gone there? I am keen to know what it is is like. Heard more money is earnt in Saudi. What about life style? All comments appreciated.

I am just considering a careeer in the Navy as a Nursing Officer, then I thought about the RAF. Does any know anything about either and pros/conss of them? I have only just asked for an information pack today from each of the careers service depts , but I would love to know anyone out there who has any info!!!! :roll

hi again yes that was really useful - thanks so, is it REALLY expenive in Dubai? like how expensive? I feel I am now torn between Abu Dhabi. Can you give me some examples? Julie

hi Thought i would take the opportunity to ask you a few questions! Hope you dont mind:clown: is it advisable not to go through an agency? Do you get free accomodation? What is better UAE or Dubai? - what is the lifestyle like? Where are you from originally? How much do UK/US nurses get money wise? What is management like? Are you supported enough etc? I have looked into Dubai as it seems to be the place that everyone raves about. I am a Nurse not a midwife

please do - that would be great! thank you!

thanks suzanne!
