Hi everyone Im in a similar but slightly different situation. Qualifying this July as a children's nurse and moving to Perth in September. I do have Australian citizenship as i lived there when i was younger but anyway.... I have just returned from Perth on a 2 week holiday to sort stuff out an spoke to a couple of hospitals. PMH and recruitment pool at the new Fiona Stanley hospital opening this December and they did say experience in the UK is preferable but they will definitely take me on if I'm successful etc. Im on the final few weeks of my last placement and I'm just doing things like getting the wards newly qualified competancies and getting them signed off to take with me in my portfolio etc. I know Perth have two huge hospitals opening so I'm under the impression they cannot really say no to nurses so i have stopped worrying and just going to move and hope for the best. Hope this helps anyone that is worried.

Hi everyone Just wondering if you can help. I am finishing children's nursing in 5 months time and want to move straight to Perth after i get my NMC pin through ect. I am already an australian citizen (due to living there when i was younger) but i am getting mixed messages about what i need to do. I understand i need to register with AHPRA etc, but lots of people are telling me to either get at least 6 months experience in the UK or get onto the graduate scheme. Preferably i would love to apply for RN position straight away seeing as I'm already Paediatric trained. If anyone knows any information on what route i should take then i would really appreciate any advice. I want to come out to Perth ASAP so getting experience isn't a welcomed idea or option really. thanks a lot, Fran
