I have a collegue who is interested in going in to the military as a registered nurse. He doesn't have a computer and I have been unable to find much information that he wants, he just wants to know a bit about the basic training, how long, what sor...

I am a registered nurse in Brisbane and am looking at heading to the UK for work. I was wondering mostly about the nursing recruitment agencies and if anyone has any ideas about which are the best ones to go with for working over there. I am not re...

Hi, well I have been in contact with Geneva health so I am sure they operate down here in Australia, since I live in Queensland :) . They have been very helpful so far, I am only in the initial stages of the process, I need to make up hours in paeds...

I am currently working as a registered nurse in Brisbane Australia. I want to go to the states to work but before I can even apply I need to make up hours is a couple of areas. I need 40 hours theory and 80 hours practical in an undergraduate course,...

Well here we go again. I was just going to let it go at what Suzanne had said, but I thought I'd better double check with the university, so I called Deakin. Now, apparently the agencys had told them that the courses were accepted, but that wasn't ...

Well, I trained an an EN before completing my RN training, with both being on the ward is always a big step up, but then step from being on the ward as a student to being a nurse on the ward is even bigger. I have to say that having your preceptor in...

I am planning a move to the UK from Australia next year and want to go to the USA after that, I have only one problem. I have to make up theory and practical hours in both paeds and maternity nursing, I am having trouble finding any courses here so ...

Well I have been looking around here and it seems both the USA and Canada have different advantages. One of the big things is the USA is next to impossible for me to get into as I haven't got any obstetrics training and am finding it hard to get the...

Well if thats the case I do not think there are any courses here that will cover that because every course I have come across you have to find your own prac placement. I don't know why the company would put nurses on to courses that wouldn't end up ...

Well I was given a phone number by a recruitment agency and I don't think it would be appropriate to give that out here, but if you did a general enquiry email to the school of nursing that should get some results. One warning, it is apparently not ...

Well good news, Deakin University offer makeup courses in both paeds and maternity, $600 a module, with you needing to do two modules for each area. They make these running three semesters per year. They do cover your indemnity insurance, but you m...

I am looking to nurse overseas, originally I was concentrating on the USA, but thats beginning to look impossible, so I am thinking first the UK, then Canada. My question is has anyone been to these countries through recruitment agencies or heard wh...

Well if only it was that easy, but it's not. It is a requirement to have hours in theory and practical in both obstetrics and paediatrics before you can even be eligible to take the NCLEX, neither of which I have or can find.

I wrote to a Canadian nursing board, if you have a bachelor degree then it is equivilant to the BSN degree in Canada and the USA, assuming the hours for paeds etc are included. So I just have to catch up on those hours and I'm good to go, with any l...

Just wish I knew for sure if my degree is equivalent to the BSN in Canada and the USA, I have just never been able to find anything on comparing them.

I have changed my plans a little, I have decided to go to the UK at the end of the year for a while, I am sure if I can't find a course here to cover my obstetrics and paeds, I'll find something there. It will also get me acclimatised to the cold as...

I can't afford to go to the states for a few months without working to get my obstetrics and paediatrics hours, it would take me forever to save up the money needed for not only the courses but also living expenses. I wish I could do it, it would ma...

Well I know a couple of people who are in different private hospital, one in the Wesley and one in Mater Private. The girl in the Wesley is loving it, they have 3 6 month rotations. The girl at the Mater private, well I'm not to sure if she is enjo...

I went to QUT last year, they will give you alot more information about graduate positions in the Queensland public sector next semester. They will probably give you this site, http://www.health.qld.gov.au/gnor/ It is the site for graduate jobs her...

I graduated last year, I got a job by applying to a grad program at the Princess Alexandra Hospital. I can tell you that there were a lot of people who are still trying to get a job in Brisbane, so many missed out so I'd advise you definately apply ...

Thanks for your reply, I have tried every University in Queensland, both the Mater and RBWH and even other healthcare training centres. There is nothing that is offered. The only option I have is to approach a hospital and try to get them to provid...

I am a registered nurse in Brisbane, I have never worked at the childrens hospital. If you are still looking at places to work though I do know that the Mater Childrens has a paediatric oncolgy unit, but it also has renal patients. The Royal childr...
