Our jobs are thankfully recession proof, a huge shortage of nurses here.
Yehp, if anything this current economic situation will improve the situation for Mental Health Nurses... thankfully I'm married to one

Yes, months. Not all people are able to get jobs right away - even those on the MODL or critical skills lists.

I didn't look for the first month as OH had car - as soon as I went looking, I had casual work within about 48 hours (I delayed it another few days to start the following week) and after a month was offered a permanent position at the same place.
I quit that to do a uni course, then was offered a job at the same place where I did my placement.

So for me it's been very easy so far! (touch wood it continues like this!)
