Hi everyone, Im a staff nurse in ninewells hospital, dundee in Scotland. I've got my nursing registration with the QNC, due to start in orthopaedics in PAH, Wooloongabba on 3rd Nov this year. All is going well apart from struggling to sell our house. Wish we had done it last year. Anyone else work in PAH? Would like to hear from you. Any advice on areas near the hospital to live?
Just thought I`d say hello, I also work at RDGH, well I did until yesterday, it was my last shift on B1.
I have a job at Mackay base hospital and we fly over 2 june yippee!

Hi Caroline, thanx for your reply. i was at my mental health info day yesterday but im still just as confused to be honest. uni says we can change at the end of first year but they really try to push to decide long b4 that! im really interested in forensic mental health but i think thats the only thing i would want to work in so i put this to a nurse yesterday and her reply was to say i need to remember im doing this training for 3 years and thats a long time if i dont like it! so i need to pick which one will keep me most interested? also ive read on a couple of occassions that nurses in oz arent given the same responsibilities as they are here so i would worry i would train for forensics to maybe not get work in that area and have to do some other mental health work im not really interested in?? im starting to ramble now but im trying to make a massive decision which will really shape my career on not very much info!! thanx again caroline x

Kelly, there are forensic units here in Oz - Greylands Hospital in Perth for example has the Frankland unit. You may only get one placement in forensic mental health during your training. When you come to Oz you may have to take a job in another area e.g. acute or rehab services whilst you apply for other posts. I was a CMHN in UK, but worked on an acute/HDU unit for 6 months as there were no community jobs at the time I moved.

I'm sick of following my dreams, I'm just going to ask them where they're going and hook up with them later
I've really enjoyed reading where everyone is up to regarding being in Oz or trying to get there. I'm currently waiting for my registration to arrive, the house is on the market although we couldn't of picked a worse time to try and sell the house. I have a job already at Logan Hospital which is outside Brisbane and i'm speaking to my new ward manager on a regular basis. Can't wait to leave the NHS as i would never of done my training if i knew the real truth about nursing in Britain. Looking forward to hear how those who are already in Oz are finding work and the what the differences are.
Good luck everyone Sarah

Hi Everyone,
I have been in the process gathering all the information before i lodge my 47es form next month, we just have our medicals to do (on Thursday) and waiting for the Police checks to come back and then i will send it all off, however, i don't seem to be able to get my head around the English Language requirements, My OH is born English and i am from the Philippines but my English is good, Does anyone know if i need to do a test or will a letter from my employer suffice it has been noted in my reference that my English is very good?
Anyhow, its nice to see so many Nurses on here also, i am hoping to be in POW Hospital soon in NSW.
i spposse its the area of nursing that i am looking at.
