Hi all we are new to this site. We are a family of 5, theres me nixster femlae nurse, my OH ed ( scottish), my son who is 13, my daughter 11and my ickle one 2 lol. were hoping to move to brisbane around march next year time. i have been told by a healthcare agency that once i get a job they will want me out in 6 months time so woo hoo could be busy!!! i just wanted to say hello and start socialising as we will know nobody out there! were looking to move to the sunshine coast.ive heard the schools are great and theres lots of things to do for all the ages of the kids. be great to hear from people in the same boat and would be great to know some people lol:biggrin:

 

hiya and welcome to BIB,
Sunshine coast is quite popular with new migrants some areas more so than others. The only thing you will need to consider is if you have a job at one of the Brisbane hospitals the commute may be too much for you to do on a daily basis.
Good Luck with everything

thanks for the advice i will bear that in mind when talking to queensland health regarding hospitallocations :smile:

 

hiya i recently moved to brisbane and i am a nurse i have also met a few other english nurses all who commute to various hospitals in the area i suppose the shifts makes it a little easier as they are not always in rush hour traffic which makes a difference for them mostly it takes them about 30 - 40 mins - i used to work in london and commute from epsom so this is not so bad and even better when the sun shines!!

 

Hiya!

Im in Brizzy too and am working in an elderly care retirement village as an RN!

Ive been here over 4 years now

 

Hi nixter, welcome to BIB, im sure you will find lots of info on the site. We live on Bribie Island its the start of the sunshine coast...... Like others have said it is a fair commute to the Brissy Hospitals......and the Bruce Highway can be a nightmare, but then you may miss it if you are doing shifts........
Good Luck...
