Hi, I am a UK trained nurse currently working in New Zealand. I am moving to Australia in January, I have registration with AHPRA but I am finding it hard to find jobs. I find it hard to believe that such a big place in adelaide has no nursing jobs? Can anyone help?

Really? well when i phoned up the main hospitals and looked up the website there are NO jobs! But i dont see how that can be true as ive never come upon a hospital with no vacancies! Which hospital do u work in?

Thanks for the suggestions! So do all hospitals have and international section? How do i found out?

Hi, We moved from Uk for my partners job and now we dont like NZ theres lots of things we dont like about it! So we are moving to adelaide. I am just going to wait and work here for a year then apply for jobs, as I am in a good job here and dont want to take a step backwards. No well i had that issue in NZ but in NZ i cant apply for a new grad program as i didnt study here. No i dont want to do aged care, and I Have done acgency work here and it was awful. SO i suppose i could apply to the casual pool at the hospital. Thanks for your help.

Does no one reply to these??

Hi, I am a UK trained nurse. I worked in the UK for four months, then my boyfriend and I moved to New Zealand. I found it hard getting a job here because i only had four months experience, but I got one Eventually. One of the hopsitals would not employ me because I only had four months experience not a year. My boyfriend and I are looking to move to adelaide and I do not want to make the same mistakes. Does anyone know if you have to have worked for a whole year before you can get a job in adelaide? Also Ive tried ringing and emailing the big hospitals and they say there are no jobs at the moment but if i send my CV and fill out an application form then they will put me on a computer list! Is this normal? Because any other jobs i have worked in they advertise on the hospital web page? Does anyone know if its hard to get a job in adelaide? Also are there no jobs because of the time of the year? Anyway I would be grateful if someone could help me!!!
