Thinking of going Rural

[Scrubber]

Hi peoples,

Wish I had found this site a long time ago, always looking for a chat with other nuses :-).

Anyway a bit about myself I am a Grad student working in theatre and having lots of fun well as mush as you can.

I am thinking probably late next year of going rural, my husband is over Brisbane and would rather live far away from people as posibble lol and all we have been waiting for is for me to do is finish UNI for the second time gain some experience then take the profits from our house and head somwhere like Tamworth buy a house and not have a mortgage hanging over our heads.

my Husband and I are both from sydney came to brisbane about 8 years ago and would like to be a bit closer but not to close as well if you no what I mean to family.

I have been looking for jobs on the net but not really having a fruitful experience, NSW health is no real help, a few placements but no real info on Tamworth Base Hospital besides what they cater for doesnt say the amount of theatres if theý are looking for nurses yada yada yada.

Would most of the placements be done by agencys for rural areas and if so anyone have any idea who looks after the NEW England area?

I have sent an email off to Tamworth but havent had a reply but it only has been a couple of days.

Any help would be much appriciated

Hi, I'm from Coonabarabran which is just a few hours from Tamworth. you might try ringing them and inqiring your self rather that just writing. I got my job here by annoying the HSM into giving me a job! LOL! Just a word of warning though, it took ages for HR GWAHS to get me onto the payroll, I worked for about four weeks with no pay. But when I got it!!! I went to Tamworth to go shopping..I'm not sure if New England is that slow. Good luck! had one of my kids at Tamworth base and the staff were great.
