   Hi Sunshine, I am an american nurse but did my degree and training in Brisbane and I will tell you that the area you are going to is absolutely beautiful. When I first went to Australia I lived in Taringa (one suburb away from Toowong) which is so ni...

2. How would i go about becoming a nurse in Australia if i live in the U.S.?

   Laurendd replied to marissa09's topic in International

   I should have phrased it differently, apologies for any misinformation. The USA does not like for a person of American Citizenship taking the oath of another country and will not recognize it as such. If you take citizenship in Australia you will be ...

   Laurendd replied to marissa09's topic in International

   Just remember though that becoming an Australian Citizen would mean giving up your USA citizenship. They don't like to share you with another country. Skilled stream migration allows you to have permanent residence, right?

   Debbie, I am so sorry to hear that it wasn't your time. You have Suzanne's plan and my advice would be to stick with it again. Of course, the choice is yours. You have been such a source of support to us here, thank you for that.

   So I took my test today, 75 questions (I had a feeling it would shut off at 75, i don't know why). Last time I had all 265. This time I feel better because when I sat down to do the test I felt like I actually knew some of the answers (they didn't mo...

    Tomorrow is my big day! I've had a bit of a cough so I hope I get better by resting today. I guess I'm ready (can you ever really be 100% ready?). Good luck to all of us!
