Hi, i'm in a similar position, silly as it sounds have a look at the distance learning courses from the university of dundee, although based in the uk the it is recognised by ancc and nlnac, they do both bachelors and masters.

What a comprehensive and informative post, and I bow to your superior skills in searching the internet, I wonder if you would be able to post the details of the Work and Holiday visa (subclass 462). Could this be the visa Tyler's recruiter was referi...

I think you might be worrying too much about the reference issue, as long as you get two people, if you're a very recent grad it could be a tutor or clinical supervisor, and your current employer, you should have no problems. Think of it this way, i...

Your recruiter does know what they are talking about, if you are under 30 you can get a working tourist visa, which is valid for a year, if you are over 30 you can only work if sponsored or a permanent resident, or citizen.

Brisie has a river (complete with bull sharks) no beach, if you work at sydney childrens you will be a 15 min walk from coogee beach, there is a nice coastal walk from coogee to bondi beach covering some lovely smaller beaches, you can also stay in t...

As long as you have registration in oz, and can scrape together a couple of professional references you should have little trouble finding a job, either with an agency or directly through a hospital. I walk past the vacancy board every day on my way...

Sorry you failed, but you obviously have the ability to pass, all the advice given is good, I just wanted to share what worked for me, beg or borrow as many cd-roms as you can get your hands on, regularly do a test of 75 questions, review your result...

As previously stated I am relaying information gained from colleagues and students I have worked with over the past three years, the most common grumble is too much time in school not enough time in practice. If you disagree then I'm happy for you, b...

I believe the student in question had stayed on to do honours thus I included the extra year. However it is also possible to do a masters in two years and gain registration, if you already have a first degree. So not all courses are three years. I'm ...

shhh not too loud the japs might hear, might be a bit harder to harpoon than a mother and baby though

Mate if there is any possible way to study in the US then do it, your tuition fees here will be $30,000+, then everything else on top, and honestly you may find that the training is better at home, the average Aus nursing student gets very limited cl...

Some areas in POW offer 12 hour shifts, but none of the surgical wards do (to my knowledge), you could always do agency work, as opposed to working permanently for an agency, if you catch my drift, you may pick up a few 12h shifts a week especially i...

Find the hospital you wish to work in and contact them direct, they will, more than likely be over the moon to hear from you, and bend over backwards to find you the job you want. They will be as practiced in organising visas as any agency, and you w...

In my case the cvs was released to NY in june, I recieved my eligibility to test in august, registered for nclex, and am still waiting for my att. I initially sent my application to NY/CGFNS in october '06, so pushing 15 months and still not taken nc...

I wish they would scrap it, I have to wait four months to do it in sydney, and although they do'nt 'charge' you for it I don't think it's a coincidence that the application fee doubled at the same time the test came in.

Processing time can be a bit hit and miss, I know people that got theirs through in two weeks, but that was a couple of years ago, I think now it maybe closer to six months, but as with all gov bodies it can be hit and miss. The easiest thing is to s...

Hi Rach, I know people working in ortho/neuro (I know strange mix), icu and er at sch, they all seem to enjoy it, there is an element of being thrown in at the deep end, but that will happen anywhere, I know that sch is very well funded, and has a hi...

Where are you living at the moment? If it's around the cbd area then sch is probably easiest, westmead is a good 45 mins away, and i've heard it is a little rough, but has a decent residence whereas the one for sch is pretty basic but cheap and in a ...

I find a simple my lord, your highness or simply god is the correct form of address:lol2:

I did it myself for the same reason as you, did'nt want to be stuck in a rotten job and unable to leave and end up visa less. I registered in nsw which took two weeks, then applied for modified skills assessment, again about two weeks, then applied f...

Thanks, that was the post I sent my resume for, nearly two weeks now, still no response, not sure if this is a normal time frame for Canada.

Was wondering if anyone had the gossip on the recruitment of international nurses. I have sent a resume to crha, but have yet to hear anything. I have heard rumours of expedited registration and visas, but I also hear that it's a waste of money to ge...

as you say you have never been here, I hav'nt worked in the states but all the americans i'v worked with out here in oz have gone home to work, so that must tell you something. I have found the standard of individual nurses to be very good but the ov...

suggest you use google, all the info you seek is readily available from the immigration web site of the country you want to go to, and from the health authority you want to work for, you are being a bit too general with your question, you should real...

A fine point! surely teamwork is the key, and valuing each persons contribution, regardless of job title. These power fiends that try to elevate themselves by dumping on others really pee me off, i hated bullies at school and i hate them in the workp...
