Chemo nurse

That is very good advice. I think I'm just home sick, I've been here for 2 years, might be time to start planning my move back. The thing that took the longest receiving my registration here was how long it took for the California registration board to send evidence of registration to the Australian one. Once they recieved it, it didn't take long. AHPRA is the licensing board here in Australia. Their website is very informative for overseas nurses applying. Visit Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia - Internationally qualified nurses and midwives Hope that helps and good luck!!

Thank you for your responses. I am working .8 and do my own rostering, which is a very good suggestion. You're right Torquay is gorgeous and along with all of Victoria, I love it! I think I'm just still struggling with the differences and am looking for a Day Onc. position just for some regularity. I know wherever I go it won't be exactly the same, but I'm living in a different country

Hi there! I have been an Oncology/Hematology nurse for 5 years. I was a nurse in California before I moved to Australia to do nursing and be with my Fiancé who is Australian. I've been a nurse in Melbourne for over a year now, but I'm still struggling greatly with the differences. It's a very busy ward, I hardly get off on time and find it hard to recover from the varied shifts on days that I'm off. Do not get me wrong I love Melbourne and have made lots of great friends. I am very appreciative of the great things and people I have experienced. I'm just wondering if there is anyone going through the same thing I am and if you have any advise for me?
