Returning back to Oz

Hi there

I was wondering if anyone can help me out. Its been two years since I havent nursed. I have been living in Canada and I am wanting to return back to Brisbane by the new year 2010.

I have sent my applications to hospitals in hope for employment. However, knowing competition is fierce, I may consider Aged Care but I have no idea what the job duties are for RNs in Aged Care, as I have only worked in hospital care. I do enjoy working with the elderley especially when I did look after them in hospital facility. However I have been told aged care has loads of paper work???????

So if anyone can give me a run down I would appreciate it. I am still keeping hope to get a job in a hospital facility as that I know is where I want to be but would give aged care a shot too.

Thank you and look forward to your replies :up:

If you speak English and you have a pulse you'll get a job in the acute sector. If you feel like a change you'd be better looking at community nursing before aged care, much more fun :)

LOL, thanks for the chuckle Joannep

Yep I sure do speak English and I have a pulse lol :yeah::chuckle

I have sent my applications to Brisbane hospitals and awaiting a reply anytime soon I hope:confused::up:

Pay's better, too

Are you thinking to do night shifts? Aged care night shifts are easyer then am and pm.

I think community nursing is the best. No-one looking over your shoulder, better pay and real time with our lovely oldies. Plenty of agencies to choose from as well.
