Hi just read the whole of this thread and made me soo homesick, I am also in perth with the sun and a pool and pretty well off - but I miss my friends and family so much I am also wondering if its worth it. I hated living in UK as was cold and grey but now I am wondering if I can put up with that for the sake of having family and friends and whats really important. Thing is a keep changing my mind, its a huge decision. I think u are very brave to make the decision and do it. I will probably spend the next 4 years chopping and changing my mind.....

as for nursing I am a student nurse here and I hate it - I loved it in UK and just want to get my degree finished now and not be a nurse - I hate prac here in Aus, wish I had of finished my studies in UK.....

Keep us posted please, I cant wait for the next instalment

sorry your not happy in your nursing, but hang in for grim death and finish your degree, even if you never nurse agai it will open doors into other things for you.
