How exciting!! Very scary tho!! I got sponsored so i had my job before i got here which was sooo scary as didn't have chance to check the ward out, but luckily it's ok. I worked in the NHS in the UK whereas now i'm in a public hospital so things are definately different. More organised, busier, and more responsibility (for us RNs on our ward). However i have a pal thats a midwife at the same hospital who says she has less responsibiliy so i suppose every area is different! Have you been to Brissy before? Have you got any friends and/or family out here? Have you got any preference as to where you want to live?
