Where to work in Sydney?

Grace Oz · Jul 29, 2003

What the hell would she want to live and/or work in Sydney for??!!!!..... It's a crazy place!! lol

Not to mention VERY VERY VERY expensive!!

Now, that said......

Initially joining an agency might be the way to go.

That way she can "suss" out the various places & then choose which one she'd like to apply for a position in.

Failing that, she'd be well advised to make contact with the NSW nurses board, and they can advise her on hospitals as well as registeration requirements.

Hope this is of some small help.

Cheers,

Grace

Rainagrey the thread at the top of this forum has a list of all the state registration boards plus many other resources. But Grace is right Sydney is very expensive and only a small part of Australia.

Here we most often only have one to two patients but our scope of practice is very different and we do more "hands on" not having respiratory technicians or other support personell.

hahhahahahha.....come on Grace and Gwenith...........:rotfl: :rotfl:

I will give you some reasons what outsiders think of sydney.

Sydney!!!!!!

The harbour Bridge .......its boooteeefooollllllll

The opera house....its funtasteticks

The beaches.........wooooooooooowwwwwwwwwww......theres no words to describe.

Shooping center .........wowowowowow

And some ppl who don't know about countries and capitals thinks sydney is Aussie's capital city........

Even though that.....I prefer Melbourne, I love it when I was there. Brisbane loves it because I can easily (cheaper) fly home.:chuckle

Have to agree to the last post. Victoria, where we have nurse-patient ratios. But boy, can those 4 patients keep you busy! My feet are still killing me!!!

Your choices are all great just work out where you can base yourself - costs frineds etc - What you want to see whilst in the country and you could even consider some of the large regional towns - They too are often looking for highly skilled staff - Regional towns will often be a good base and the cities places to visit - less expensive.

Thank-you Evie. I would love to have more Aussies posting more frequently on this board simply because I think we have a practicality that is our own. Plus it's nice to have some fellow aussies to talk to!
