Hi

I am a surgical nurse in England with 8 years experience. I am currently waiting for my skills assessment with the ANMAC then will be lodging a 175 PR visa.
I am looking for information regarding people's experiences of nursing in Australia both good and bad. And how nursing in australia compares to nursing in the UK.

Any info on the following would be great.

1 Staff to patient ratio
2 Do you feel de-skilled?
3 Working hours and shift patterns
4 Resources
5 Training
6 Support from colleagues
7 Wages
8 Anything else

I want to go to Australia with as much info as possible. I don't want to make the move thinking everything will be fantastic and then be shocked when it's not. I want the move to be permanent and prepare myself for all the good and the bad.

Kind regards
X
