Congrats Rocknurse!!! I have applied too to UCONN for the acnp track but i'm still waiting for an answer...Now i'm getting nervous! How was the phone interview? I will have mine this week...

Hi lovingthesungurl! I'm from Canada too....and was wandering how would you compare nursing in canada vs australia? I'm thinking of going to Queensland next year and I have experiences in ER. Thanks! Pink Flower

Hi Torque15! Thank you for your answer....yes i was thinking of applying in QLD! I know that as of July 1st I needed 7777 in my IELTS score but i will for sure look at NMBWA! I will take the test sept 5th. As of now...study, study.... :) Are you from WA? Where? How is the life, the work, is there a huge nurses shortage? I'm an ER nurse with my ACLS.... Do you have NP? What's TY's? Thanks again! :) PinkFlower

Hi everyone! I just received my IELTS score..... 7.5 reading, 7 speaking, 7 listening but 6.5 writing. So I'm very sad, I know that I have to do it again ... Does anyone know if I can do just the writing part? Can I start some papers with the nursing board,the immigration or the anmc? or do I have to wait for my new result? After my IELTS result send, how long can I expect to be granted for my visa and nursing board? Thank you!

Thank you so much Rob! Another question if you don't mind.... In busy ED, do nurses have their ACLS, TNCC, ? Is the courses givin by the hospital? What is the postgraduate course in emergency givin by univ?(1 year ) Is it mandatory to work in ED? When you start in ED, do you have an orientation in all area or you have to work 1 years in sub-acute care then acute care and then minor care-triage? Thank you in advance... and I'm almost 100% sure I will stop my choice at PA hospital for the end of the years! :) Pink Flower :wink2:

Hey Ozrob! The place where you're living, is it too far from Brisbane to work? I'm having experiences in ED and would like to continue to work in a big emergency. Thanks! Pink Flower

Hi! I'm planning to move in australia at the end of the years but haven't decided were to settle down...between Perth, Sydney or Brisbane If anyone could help me...I have a few criteria : -great weather (not to wet, cold or windy.) -affordable housing (I guess I have to forget Sydney on that point!) -great places to run with small hills -clean and peacefully place -great food, great shopping -close places to do outdoors activities -pet friendly I'm moving alone so I think that the housing would be the most important thing for me... Think you so much in advance! Can't wait to move! Pinkflower
