WOW!!!! thanks a lot for that wonderful advice..I just hope hospitals are that supportive when they know we came from agencies.. Well, I'll gonna give a try.. Thank you!! Can you give options as to what agencies to join?. thanks a lot

I just had my PR granted and an AHPRA registered nurse. My experience is purely overseas and do not have Australian experience yet except my 3 months clinical placement. Been sending applications to public and private hospitals. While waiting for formal interviews, I am planning to join nursing agencies in Australia but i do not know which agency to join. I heard about Healthcare Australia, MEdiserve, Aktrapid but have no idea about how they handle their staffs and do I need to pay something when joining their organization? Am I going to pay for my own training like first aid or BLS? I prefer to work in the medical ward ward first becasue i think it is much easier. Then try to take up other areas later on once I am accustomed with the job and the routines in the ward. I would like also to hear from other nurses who had been to nursing agencies about what to expect on the first day being an agency nurse. any tips or advice would be helpful. I heard that once you've been given a schedule, you will go to the ward, and expected to work immediately and would be treated just like a regular staff nurse in the ward. Any advice what to do on the first day in a completely new environment, how to deal with nurses (hope they are friendly and approachable). Thinking about the first day seems a bit scary... and these makes me sometimes a bit hesitant too.. Your tips and advice I hope would somehow give me the courage to go for it.. lol..

Government nursing positions in Australia have selection criteria that is part of the application process. Applicants need to answer these criteria for the selection committee to to identify if you are qualified or not for the position. Then they will contact shortlisted applicants to undergo a panel interview. cheers!

just wanna ask what are the list of documents needed to for skilled visa 189 application? any ideas guys? thanks..

then i think it will cause an issue with the other nurse. patient may question and think that the previous nurse does not have the skill and next time would not want to be handled by that nurse..

thanks for the comment.. the wound is NEWLY dressed but it was not done properly. what should be done? if i redo the dressing, the patient might wonder? and the nurse might get offended or embarassed? help...

I had an interview lately and i was thrown a question that I was not prepared of and was not able to give a proper answer. I was quite a tricky one. until now i am still looking for an answer.. lol.. so the question goes: You have a patient who had just a dressing done by another nurse. As a nurse who had experiences in wound management, you know at a glance that the dressing is not properly done. What would you do in this situation? How would you manage the patient and the nurse??? Need suggestions and comments guys.. thanks
