Don't apologise for being here you are most welcome! My partner is a MH nurse and got a job quite easily in Melbourne. There seems to be plenty of MH nursing jobs in Aus, and I would guess that a place as big as Adelaide is no exception, good luck! To the OP, hang on in there, woolly jumpers and all, I'm sure things will be great when you become more settled. Good luck to you too! :) |
