Guest Carolmed Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 Realised I had put this in the wrong place, so having another try! Sorry! This is my first post, so I hope I'm doing it correctly:arghh: We are hoping to come out before the end of the year for a one year stay using a 457 Visa. My husband is the nurse - can anybody tell us what sort of shift systems are worked in most hospitals? At the moment he "self-rosters" - ie puts on the roster what he would like to work, making sure that he does his 8 days and 5 nights (12 hours shifts) each four weeks - and also of course, depending on the skills levels to be covered and who got to the roster first! Usually they get near enough what they have requested. It's a good system as long as the roster is confirmed about a month in advance - it's a total pain when it happens only 10 days in advance! Also, he is 60, which is why we're using the 457 Visa - and also we don't want to emigrate. Do you think his age will be a hinderance? He hasn't retired from the NHS.
