hi everyone,

wondering if you help me at all.

I am a children's nurse with 12 months experience in a community nursing team..
Applying for our 175 visa but going out to Brisbane on a Working Holiday Visa in June

It looks like there are lots more jobs in the hospital rather than the community like i am currently doing.
Problem is i do not have any post-graduate experience in the hospital. would i be able to go back to working in the hospital in Australia?

I am hoping to do a bit of nursing on the WHV so maybe this is something i should try and do then?

Any advice or info would be great!

Thank you in advance,

Dani xx

 

Hi welcome to the site.

I believe that before you are allowed to do any nursing you will have to register as a nurse, Please check out this thread on our other site (PomsInOz) and it should help with the answers

I hope that helps

 

Hi Dani, I would try to get some e-mail contacts for Nurse Unit Managers in the hospitals and community nursing and contact them letting them know what you are looking for. I contacted people before I came out and when I got here, was offered a job in my speciality that hadn't been advertised. Due to other commitments I couldn't take it straight away and used the expressions of interest on the Queensland Health website and then got offered a job in an area I had never worked in, hours etc to suit, as the Manager said - it would get me in to Queensland Health and access to jobs easier. All has worked out great, within 6 months was working hours to suit and within my speciality. Good Luck, I don't think you will have any trouble getting a job. Elena
