Thanks mopples, k+mgso4 and gogirlgo for your input. I have signed up with a nursing agency and told them what am looking for and hopefully they can find the right job for me.

A question for Aussie nurses, are coronary care units and high dependency units similar to cardiac telemetry and IMC units in the USA? I work cardic telemetry/IMC and would like to work on a similiar unit in Australia. I currently work on a 36 bed all monitored unit and our patient population includes CHF, chest pain, pre and post op cardiac catheterization, MIs, cardiac arrthymias, pacemaker/AICD placement and post op CABG, value repair and lung transplant from ICU. Our nurse to patient ratios are 1:4 for tele and 1:3 for IMC and we do have multi functional techs that assist with ADLs and VS. I am looking at moving to Australia Jan 2013, hopefully Melbourne but also looking at Brisbane and Sydney, but my fear of Sydney is that i will not be able to manage on a nurse's salary looking at the cost of living lol. Any information on which hospitals to look at and ones to stay away from will be helpful. Thanks Shiloh

i worked on neuro/trauma med/surg unit and took care of patients with similar symptoms. most of the patient did really good after surgery and went home, a few mostly the elderly had to go for rehab. i am sure you will do fine.

i just found out i passed too. i took the NCLEX RN wed and had 75 questions. the last two days i kept second guessing myself and the more i thought about the questions the more i convinced my self i failed. i know exactly how you feel, congrats

i graduated may 4th 2007 and took the NCLEX RN on the May 23 2007 and had 75 questions. i just found out i passed. i did practice questions throughout my final sesmester so i did not have to study alot before the exam. i would not advise anyone to take that exam without studying.
