Re: 457 visa
Hi Kim
I'm heading out on a 457, have a job to go to in Melbourne and have been advised that the Nursing Board of Victoria can take up to 3 months to process the application. Therefore I would suggest you contact the relevant nursing registration board for Sydney, enquire about processing times and then work out a timescale from that.
I',m planning to head out in July, thus giving me enough time to sort out registration, visa etc.
Cheers

Re: 457 visa
I came out to Oz on a 457 visa which was my hubby's and I found it easier to register from the UK, that way, its all done when you get there.
The one thing that I did do though was to phone the NSW board and ask them to keep my registration card in Sydney as I would be picking it up which they did. This way you get to send off all of your forms now but you can call them and collect your certificate and card when you arrange in Sydney.
Whereabouts are you thinking of staying in Sydney?

Hi
Why not contact NSW nursing board via email explaining your situation in detail, it may help to find a job before you do this - if you want to of course -in my opinion if you have a prospective job offer, or at least the support of a prospective employer; they will assist/advise you with registration.
Remember just because you get offered a job, doesn't mean you have to take it. Then you'll have the guidance of an Australian employer, the experience of an interview & whats expected of you, which has has come at minimum cost, with no obligation to commit yourself.
Just Google N SW nursing registration, click the links and away you go.......
