Re: Nursing in Australia.
He doesnt sugar coat Australia like many others do but there is nothing to say he hates Australia. It seems to be more case of him not saying what you want to hear.

Re: Nursing in Australia.
I don't know why you both are posting on here, neither of you are nurses.

Re: Nursing in Australia.
All sorts.....I have been a nurse for over 40 years.
I was also a nurse tutor and a Lecturer in nursing.
Over here I am an RN working in a hospital and also work for a university supervising student nurses
Is that clear enough?

Re: Nursing in Australia.
I'm a 2nd year nursing student and I've worked in public hospitals in admin for the last 5 1/2 years. My 2 cents worth is that your wife is going to find it really is the same shit here as she puts up with there. There is a shortage of nurses in Australia, which makes for heavy workloads for the ones here. The nurses I know, dozens of them who I've worked with over the years, many of them UK trained who've moved here, say that while working here is different it's not better.
But what do I know? I'm not a nurse.

Re: Nursing in Australia.
Grayling is a nurse. With years of experience. He just happens to work in a different area of nursing now - teaching.

Cheers for that, I am looking for unbiased views.

If the nurse patient ratios were as good as some would want us to believe then why do we have to import so many?
It beggars belief on here sometimes

Re: Nursing in Australia.
Oh cut out the sniping guys please.
To the OP - There are thousands of views on here about the similarities and differences between nursing in the two countries; remember that both countries have good and bad hospitals in both countries, and everyone's experience is different. The only way to really know, as I'm sure every migrant nurse will tell you, is to try it.
