Hello, I am currently working in London as a paediatric band 5 staff nurse, after qualifying september 2009 with a BSc Hons in Child Health nursing. I am travelling next year to south east asia in july and then onto Australia for beginning of december. Working and travelling with a working holiday visa. I have many questions that i need to ask and hope someone can help to answer them? - Firstly I am hoping I will be able to find sponsership whilst in australia so I will be able to stay and nurse. - If I am unable to do this how easy it is to gain rural work for 3 months to extend visa? -How easy it is to get shifts if working for an agency - Also currently the ward I work runs 30 patients to 5 nurses, I was wondering what the nurse:patient ratio is? - If theres any other differences in the nursing profession in australia .i.e. shift patterns etc.. Lots of questions I know I have many more.... Thank you
