Start a Nurses thread !
 

Are there any Nurses here? So introduce yourself !

I thought I would start a thread for us Nurses to keep in touch, and offer support to one another and even if your a nurse in Oz already or some where else, please feel free to say hi. I'm sure you'll hold alot of wealth of information for us nurses who are in Oz or some were else.

So I will start! I'm a Aged Care nurse for the pasted 21 years in Brisbane.
Is there any nurses here on BritishExpats.com? It would be interesting to hear from you Nurses. Just interesting to hear from you, how you are going. Hope to hear from you soon !!!!!!
