Hi All,

I'm new to the site and have been reading though some of your threads on here and have found some useful info!!

I'm a Learning Disability Nurse working with school age children in the community and in schools. I qualified September 2007 so am fiarly new to the nursing profession.

My family and I are hoping to move to Oz but are finding it difficult to find nursing jobs with people who have a learning disability. Any one got any suggestions? or are you an LD nurse who has gone to Oz? Any advice would be gratefully received!!!!

I have been advised to register with the nursing board of victoria first and then apply for a skills assessment with the ANMC unless i get sponsorship (which is looking unlikely at the mo). Can I just keep renewing my registration with NBV each year without actually practising there (just in case the visa's take a long time!) or is there a time limit on them? i.e. have to go over and practice within so many years?

Thanks guys and hope to be chatting and sharing experiences with you along the way!!!
