Anyone have any experience with different nursing agencies serving the northern beaches in Sydney? Which to avoid and which are OK? Anyone work with Nursing Australia or Pulse?

I think there are a lot of factors to finding a job in Australia, just like in the US. It depends on your specialty, experience, and where you want to live. I have a work holiday visa and found a six month contract pretty quickly. This probably was h...

I have days when I just want to cry because i feel up to my ears in poop but unfortunately that's just the way nursing goes. Just wear an isolation gown, gloves, and a mask and try not to think about it. usually if I can bring in a co-worker to help...

I have a question about notarizing documents. Did you all notarize every sheet you sent in or just the pages that contain signatures? I have over 50 pages to send in and at $5/page thats quite expensive!

Hi everyone! I submitted my application back in March and just got an email from the AHPRA that I am missing a few things. I have a few questions if someone could help me out! 1) Professional references- did you get references from ALL previous emplo...

Has any US nurse on here stayed longer than the 1 year working holiday visa? Just wondering how difficult it is to get a skilled migration visa or employer-sponsored? Or maybe going back to school there and getting one that way?

Thank you all so much for answering all my questions! I have another one though lol: do you have health insurance while you are there? It asks you on the visa application and I'm wondering if you got a plan for your travels?

I was also wondering how easy it is to transfer licenses between states? So if I get my license thru the Victoria office but end up in Sydney would it be difficult to transfer it over or vice versa? I'm not sure where I will be living but want to get...

Hi everyone, Has the market changed for any of you? Just wondering the current situation with agency nursing in Melbourne.

Hi all! this is so overwhelming! I have a few questions, hopefully someone can help! 1) for verifying id- did you just attach a notarized copy of your passport? the rest of the verification will be in person later on correct? did you attach a copy o...

So when applying for my nursing license I have to go in person to the NSW office? I'm a bit confused because other boards suggested starting with the license because it takes longer and then getting the visa. How have other people done this? Flown o...

Wow, this thread is so informative! I am an RN with 3 years of med/surg/stepdown experience. I would like to relocate to either Sydney or Melbourne sometime in 2013. This process seems really intense, I am a bit overwhelmed. I'm researching everythin...

Hi Julianna.00- I cannot figure out how to PM you but was wondering if you could answer some questions I have about moving to Oz! thanks!

I have been in contact w/ HZ agency about a position at King Faisal hospital in Riyadh. I am seriously considering going for this. I am excited to hear that you can crosstrain different units...I have wanted to transition to SICU for a while, but it ...

I also worked in Detroit and had many Canadian co-workers who commuted across the border every day. Each state needs its own license (besides compact states-which michigan is not). Keep in mind that if you practice in different states and have multip...
