CaptainC Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 My CO allocated today and requested to submit my Kid's Medical. Good sign! Where is everyone heading to? QLD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSN Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 I've received a delay email from GSM allocated today. Is this the common email address for all delay emails? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingPrawn Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Where is everyone heading to? Adelaide, Melbourne or Brisbane. I've spend so long trying to decide, I think I may just get a three-sided coin and toss for it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jac2011 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 I am heading to Townsville, got offered a permanent job and relocation package too hard to turn down as a newly qualified nurse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainC Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 I am heading to Townsville, got offered a permanent job and relocation package too hard to turn down as a newly qualified nurse. That's excellent! Is this a fairly common thing for nurses? My sister is a fairly newly qualified adult nurse (coming up to 4 years) and she is keen to emigrate as well.

jac2011 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 No not at all in recent years. Most employers wouldn't even hire me without 12 months, let alone offer me a package. I have accommodation, food and taxi's to work. I think it's slightly harder as an adult nurse (not impossible) only because they train general nurses. I am a mental health nurse and they only specialise after they are qualified as a general nurse. I think for this reason, it's slightly easier. But, tell your sister not to give up hope. I was persistent, got to know people in HR departments. The woman that referred me for the job and got me the package I had spoken to for 12 months prior to the job offer and we had built up a good rapport.

The woman that referred me for the job and got me the package I had spoken to for 12 months prior to the job offer and we had built up a good rapport. I'll have a chat to her about it then. She went to an expo a few years back in London and chatted to some reps from a hospital in WA, they were quite keen on her (obviously don't know her as well as I do!) I suspect that she'll be planning to stay in the UK for a little while longer though as our dad has just been diagnosed as terminal. For my job it's been a little more difficult, I've travelled over twice to speak to employers and developed a good rapport with one of them in particular, completed some work trials with them, and asked all the right questions etc. He'd been telling me that there's nothing available just yet and made no promises but introduced me as a new pilot to the other pilots one morning before quickly correcting himself! I don't want to read into that and get my hopes up too much though! Thanks very much for that info, it's certainly food for thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itegoa Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Congratulations! Cheers! I took your advice and tried phoning Brisbane at 0800h BST today. The office was already closed though, so I'm a bit surprised I got the grant approx 90 minutes after that. Ah well, all's well that ends well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent news. Well done. Now I guess the real hard work starts, to plan the move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the hard work is finding a job. Do i go out alone (easier and cheaper), or the whole family go (expensive!). A short while ago, we came to the realisation that planning too far into the future sucks. So we may just decide "lets go next week!" haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonSmile Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 If the date last updated is not due to you lodging papers I would look to see if they have sent you an email. To the right of the last updated date is a drop down box where you can select show correspondence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
