Options for a learning disability nurse?

[Guest roxanne1982]

Hey,

 

Ive been a learning disability nurse for about 4 years which I've really enjoyed and now I'm seriously looking at the option of going over to Australia next year sometime. However, I'm having great difficulty trying to find equivilant jobs over there. I know we are recognised in areas yet there doesnt seem to be a great demmand.

Does anyone have any pointers?

 

More than anything I want to go over there, so if Learning Disability Nursing isn't an option, would it be tough getting a job in another area (nursing or otherwise)?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

 

Cheers

Thanks! I did have a look, I will repost! Did seem to be leaning towards general/adult nursing tho. Hopefully someone will be able to point me in the right direction!

Not sure on where abouts yet, suppose it depends on my options! Thanks for replying
