I worked with a lovely nurse from Texas when I was student. I know she was from Texas because every single patient we worked with asked where she was from. So expect questions, like "What made you want to move to Australia?", all the time

Pedantry is not virtue

Oh you work in aged care (LTC in the US)? What a cushy job - you get to hear all those lovely old folks' stories

Nursing is a very high stress job. Studying is a very high stress activity. You will need a lot of drive and good support to be able to do it, but if you can muster that, you can get through it. Good luck
