That was awesome! Great description....I think that "future student," may change her mind when she reads this letter....

I havent worked in australia, that's why I'm on this post. I'm trying to find out the same. What country are you from?

Thank you for the info. My sis lives in Victoria, so I'm pretty much stuck on that location. I've seen the cost of living first hand. When I've come back to the states, and tell people how much a car costs, or a liter of gas, or a pack of cigarettes (those that smoke), there jaw hits the floor. We are definitely overindulged in the states. Anyways, I will check some of the sites that you have listed. Thanks again for your help.

Oh my gosh!! You've given me hope!!! Thank you! My sister has lived in Australia for 15 years...miss her desperately. So hope this works.

Jewels, Thanks again for your letter. It was very informative. I was pretty crushed when I read that a bachelors degree was required. Is this an absolute certainty, or just with your particular hospital? I've tried making contacts with a few nursing agencies, and can't seem to get a direct, valid answer. This would be the only thing holding me back. I am looking to work in Melbourne, hopefully. How do you like it there so far? I welcome any other information from Aussie or American nurses. Thank you!

Thank you so much for your input....greatly appreciated!

Hi, I am also an American, looking to do a travel assignment to australia. How has your experience been? How does it pay? What benefits do come with it...housing? Health insurance? Is the flight payed for? I have a gazillion questions about this. I would appreciate any input. Thanks so much...

Hello, I am an American, and I am looking to possibly work in Australia. I have been a nurse for 10 years, with experience in ICU, med/surg, Emergency, telemetry. I have been to Australia several times, and have fallen in love with it. I am looking to get information on "what it's like to be a nurse in Australia?" I am looking for information on patient to nurse ratios, taxes, salaries, and the different fields to get into. I would truly appreciate any information you might send my way. Regards....
