Guest genorm Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 It is caused by budget cuts. Perth went from the "Place to be" for nurses at the end of April to being a "No Go" by mid May. Still plenty of work in NSW, but most current vacancies elsewhere are for Midwives (both RM/RN and RM) and Operating Theatre. Aged Care is another area where there is a shortage - especially in Canberra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JK2510 Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Have you checked out seek? They tend to have vacancies....have you checked working in the community? Perhaps a little more flexible with hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeybee Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Finding this a little worrying. I am a nurse with 4 years experience. Me and my Husband are hoping to move to Brisbane in Oct/November this year, yet I keep seeing posts stating that Queenslands job prospects aren't great. However the glimmer of hope is that the job market fluctuates, hopefully later in the year more jobs will be needed again. I am thinking perhaps a coastal NSW town might be more hopeful for job prospects. We'll all have to keep our eyes on the job vacancies over the next few months, and see what happens.

Guest genorm Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Oncology RGNs wanted in Sydney and Perth. Midwives in Sydney, and Dual RM/RN from Darwin to Tasmania. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest26012 Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 I think when you are employed on a casual basis then once the wards get to know you, you will be in with a chance for a perm position. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
