Having been guilty myself of hijacking threads saying hello and just chatting to my fellow Aussies I thought it might be worthwhile for us to have a thread that is just dedicated to general Aussie chat. We can then discuss issues like the Morris - oops Davis inquiry in Queensland and what it will mean for Q health and for the rest of Australia.
We can talk cricket, sport and anything else that is just us.
Say hello to new members dropping by.
Generally find out what is happening in the rest of the country.
I will make this thread a "sticky" so that it will always be at the top of the forum.

LOOKING FOR A GLOBAL PARTNER willing to know Nursing issues in your country:
Hi! I'm a grduate student looking for a graduate nurse to converse regarding nursing in your country as part of our assignment in class. Any response will be highly appreciated. Thank you!
Yes, i am lurker not a poster but i wil contribute more. One thing i have always wanted was to publish/promote the stories of the 'wiser' nursing generation before me ( i am 30). What do you think?
Hi Grace!! I am working with a couple of New Mexicans at the moment (and one Californian - the American invasion has begun:lol2:) They can't get over some of our expressions like "Ta" for thank-you and "Boxing Day". Though with that lot I am not too sure who is pulling whose leg:chuckle
Thanks for the laugh, you caught another Yank sneaking around! The bet here is now that the Obama has been elected President in the States, you'll be seeing more than a few more Americans with nursing licenses at your door. Thought of it myself, frankly... Oooppps, guess I shouldn't be getting political on this board.
Don't worry about your sayings and lingo being incomprehensible to American ears, I imagine lots of ours do the same to folks who come here, though Hollywood "exports" our slang pretty well, or at least the California version of it.
I think it's a great idea, yanmah. I work in aged care and often hear some wonderful, weird and heartbreaking stories from former nurses.
Pls enlighten me with working in aged care... What is its advantages and disadvantages compared to working in a hospital... interms of pay, stress etc.
I am waiting for my confirmation to take the bridging program to become a nurse in Australia... Thanks you in advance.
I'm new here, rather shy, but I thought I'd be bold and say hi! I'm from Queensland, working for QHealth in Radiology at [i'd-rather-not-say] hospital. I've been in Radiology since July of 2008, and before that 2 years 3 months in Oncology. At the moment I'm looking at doing some further education, maybe a GradCert, but it's hard finding one that fits in to what I do at work.
I'm new to allnurses but already addicted!
