HI sisterkate thanks for replying to my post. I have been qualified as a RMN since September 2007, and have been working on an inpatient child and adolescent mental health unit. I am looking to come over to Perth or Melbourne, August 2009. I was wondreing what child and adolescent mental health opportunities there were for jobs within this field. I am from the UK and would love to possibly work in the community. I understand that the service is called CYMHS in Perth. I lived in Fremantle for a year in 2001, on a working visa, so have some understaniding of the Perth area. Thanks Freosun13 :)

Hello everyone, i am undertaking a nursing degree and will be a registered Paediatric nurse in three years, when im 33 (July 07). The pass mark was 115 points which i scored, but since april this year it has gone up to 120 points. It is a job on the demands list, and i will be applying for Immigration after my 12 months work experience. I have worked my points out and so far it stands at 115, any advice on this subject would be appreciated!! thanks guys..............sunny 13xx

Hello, i am about to undertake a three year paediatric nursing degree (registered nurse), i am applying for immigration after it is completed. I have contacted imigration and general nursing gives you 60 points, but paediatric nursing is not listed on the skills list, does anybody know if this is recognised and awarded the same points. thanx:roll
