US nurse moving to Brisbane

Published

I was recently offered a job @ a hospital in Brisbane. I am currently working as an RN in the USA. Looking to move to AZ sometime in July. I am moving by myself. I am currently looking for apartments in brisbane and was wondering if anybody would give me a little info on a good and reliable website for rental apts. And also what is the average amount people pay for a decent apt? How is the transportation system there? do people usually drive or use public transportion? thank you in advance..

Specializes in Medical and general practice now LTC.
Hey Nurse Ladies in Australia!

I just had a phone interview at the Wesley for the Oncology floor and am in the same exact position...I am feeling really excited about the prospect of the big move, but nervous about logistics! Did you ever find an apartment that was reasonable? I would LOVE to talk to a nurse who works on the oncology unit there...I am most worried because I am a NEW GRADUATE from California...so I know there will be a lot of adjusting and a lot to learn!! Any Advice? I am about to apply for the QLD license, and...please help! what els?? Do I have to take the ietls (?) English test if I am coming from America?

Everyone has to do the IELTS even if from a English speaking country (know of many UK nurses that have had to sit and pass it)

Hello! Sunshine888...Have you arrived in Brisbane yet? I am just taking my English test in a couple days and hope to have all my paperwork mailed before then. How long did it take for your license, and then visa? Where did you end up finding a place, and about how much is rent? I am accepting a position on your same floor and would LOVE any information you have figured out, please let me know!!
