Here are some additional questions that she would like to ask: 1. What is the best possible way for her to find a job once she passes the OET? 2. Are the 3 month training courses necessary to get a job in Australia for foreigners? 3. What benefits are provided to nurses by the state or individual hospitals? 4. What is the average rate of pay raises in Australian hospitals? 5. What promotion opportunities are available, if any, if I work there for a long time? 6. Are their courses to improve my nursing rank as I work? Such as from a LPN to RN? Thanks.

Greetings, I am an English teacher in China and I have come here because I am trying to help one of my students, who has become a dear friend to me, find out information about nursing in Australia. She has been a nurse here for about 4 or 5 years and speaks English very well, but she is ready for a change in her life and is planning to take the OET and move to Australia if possible. With that in mind, could anyone please post some information on the nursing environment in Australia? Any and all information would be welcomed, as she and I both know nothing of nursing in Australia. She is especially interested in common duties, salary information, sanitation, etc. Thank you for your help, Shawn
