We're currently mulling this over... again. We've spent the best part of the last few years working towards a move to NZ. We went over at Easter last year and loved it - had a fantastic time and made some good friends touring around and staying with people I'd chatted to on a bikers forum. Paid a visit to one of the hospitals and was as good as told let me know when you're ready and we'll offer you a position here.

When we came back my wife applied for registration with the NZ Nursing Council, and the process has taken so long that my wife's been reflecting on the whole thing and is now fancying Aus over NZ.

We had a good talk about the whole thing last night and pretty much settled on Aus. Then guess what turned up in the post this morning... yup, her NZ nursing registration after about 8 months of waiting (due to references that we were told had been sent, but actually hadn't - grrrrrr)

So here we are again... do we carry on with the NZ stuff now that that's done, and hopefully get over there in 6 months, or start the whole process again with Aus and wait the 9-12 months that's likely to take?

Life's a journey ay? Hey, it'd be boring if it wasn't
