Hi, Got the job, very nice man interviewed me - being all the nicer for giving me the job that I wanted.
Have to say I have never had an interview wearing just a dressing gown, cig in one hand and a coffee in front of me!

No - would never have got the job if we had - you should have seen the state of me after no sleep at that time of the morning! Felt like I had just finished a night-shift!

Cheers Jez - WELL DONE to Laura as well!
Not sure exactly which hospital yet, but it is within the North Western Mental Health group - so either the Royal Melbourne, Sunshine or Western Hospital.
What about Laura?
Due to start work last week of January - but going to Melbourne 2 weeks before that to sort myself out. When are you planning to go?
Handing my notice in today - will be finishing work 5th November - time off to see family and friends and sell up and REST !!
I've been on holiday, noticed you have not been about though - you on holiday as well?

Hi Cas ...
Laura has got a job at Epworth Hospital, right the centre of Melbourne.
When are we planning to go?? Well.... we need the visa first ! (small obstacle! ) then we are going to spend time with friends in the south of France, and head off from there. Laura plans to do the same as you ... get over there, and have a few weeks off before starting ...
Haven't been around for a while as I went a little stir crazy, and then helped our friends move to south of France ... where it is absolutely idyllic!!! Got back a few days ago, so I thought it's about time I got posting again.

Hi Carolie,no you are not daft,I got excited just sending of the police check! We are using an agent and I feel helpless as I am not controlling it (power freak!) Husband has got a job to go to out there, just playing the waiting game. Everyday we discuss "when ...or if we are allowed to go out!" In the meantime good luck, will let you know when our cheque is cashed!

Hi,
As you see from my posts, things have moved on really quickly - got registration and job (sponsored) in Melbourne - just waiting to get visa which I am applying for on Mon 18th - been told it will take a month to come through. Having said that I won't be leaving until early/mid January to start work at the end of that month. I've got 14 shifts left to do at present ward - then FREE TIME!!
What about yourself? What type of nursing are you doing (you are a nurse? - only asking 'cause one of the biggest messengers on this particular forum is Ecando - and he's in IT!) And which visa are you going for?
Noticed you have only just joined 'Expats' - well it's great - informative and fun. It's fantastic to talk to people who understand what you're going through as well - very friendly, even though it is not likely that you will meet many (having said that - there are exceptions (re: meeting people - but thats another story!! )

Hi Cas! Me thinks you're a little excited!
Don't forget to ... and keep us all updated! (I've decided to retrain as a nurse ... so I can post here legit!)

I was on a night-shift last night and tonight - not allowed to sleep!! (Well, had a couple of hours today)

Retrain as a nurse - can you do that in Aus? What about doing initial training there which has been started in UK (asking for someone else) do you know?
(Are you serious or is this just a ploy)

Glad to hear that you are going to be legal
Cas
