hi there
i wrote my own then got the sec to print it out on headed paper for my manager to sign..she was so fine about it (manager) that she didnt even read it! i could have written anything!

thats how bothered they are about you leaving...i was quite indignant as i thought theatres would fail to run if i wasnt there but they really dont care!

Hi
I also wrote my own reference as my boss also 'funny'and told her I wanted it to attach to my Cv as I wanted to apply for a job in a nursing home at weekends. She also signed with out reading it and this way you put in all the necessary bits that are needed.
Good luck
Brenda

Hiya,

As i posted before I am in my final year at Uni and for me it was always going to be Mental health.

My first year was spread out with four placements, two in mental health (both organic brain disease) one in learning disabilities at a day centre and the last one was an adult branch placement in a nursing home.

My second year was two placements in the community both being parth of the multi disciplinary team as a student cpn (loved this!)

My third year is again two placements, We were given a list of placements and told to choose three. The first placemetn is specialised and I am on an adolescent psychiatric inpatient unit and waiting to hear where my final placement is....which is the management placement..

With my University, at the end of the common foundation programme (year one) people were given the opportunity to swap branches - a few came over to mental health.

Hope this helps..

Hi Debbie, have sent you a pm

Hi there

Here's a question! If your registration has expired in the UK can you do a return to practice course in Oz or do you need to do this in the UK before you emigrate?

If you're having your skills assessed then you'll need to have current registration with NMC as they have to confirm it with ANMC

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!!!
