Any idea where you're going to be staying in melbourne?:)

Re: melbourne
 

the hospital i have a job is the avenue in ictoria windsor, as i do not drive i will be looking for a room around that area, going on my own is a bit daunting but im looking forward to the life experience, will the weather be good that time of the year then? whats it like now? where ru from?

Re: melbourne
 

Windsor is just round the corner from where we live...I'm married but no kids. It's a pretty cool area next to Prahran and Chapel Street runs right through it. You are close to St Kilda, the CBD, and many other happening places are close by.

Weather could be anything, but should be in the mid/high 20's or higher:)

My wife is a nurse and will probably post here:)

Hi Matt :)
I'm the nurse that shakmaty was on about.

I'm a psych nurse working for a specialist psych nursing agency, and work at various hospitals around the city - including The Melbourne Clinic (is this the one you mean?), The Alfred, St Vincents, Monash Medical Centre & Maroondah.
Are you Adult or Psych??
Give me a shout if you want any help - I've been qualified for some years and have worked here for over two and a half years :)

hiya matt

im 30 and i came out here this year on my own although i am lucky to have my brother here.
Its scarey and daunting but once you get into the swing of things you'll be fine, its good that you've a job to go to stright away as you can make new friends quicker, and meet ups on these sites are always a good way to meet like minded people.

We'll all have to catch up when your over
