Re: Fastest way to work in Australia as a RN?
Just in case people were worried.
Even though Chris Evan (Immigration Minister in Australia) plans to cut back the skilled migration programm due to the economic down turn, this will not effect health care as there is still is a shortage of nurses here.

Re: Nursing eBook, how useful
Like many nurses with a burning desire to travel and work overseas, I came to Australia on a Temporary Business (457). I was full of excitement and wonder, with no real idea of what to expect. Right from the beginning I could find nothing that would steer me in the right direction. Overseas nurses are expected to fumble their way through a complicated new health care system with nothing to really guide them through what is a difficult process. Although the situation has improved a little since I first arrived, and the health service does what it can to help, an eBook like this would have been really helpful and eased a lot of the worry and anxiety I had. Yes, minor blunders were made along the way trying to set up a new home, and settle into a new workplace environment, but from talking to many of my colleagues, we all made them and we all wished we had done a few things differently. There are things we wished we’d known up front, from the major items like who the employers are, to the lower priority but still important ones, such as the majority of rental accommodation is unfurnished, and when you phone someone up and they ask you ‘what state are you in?’ they may not necessarily be asking how you are feeling, but what part of Australia you are calling from! I often found myself thinking about a whole range of information that would have been so useful to have known from the start and wondered why someone hadn’t shared it with me sooner? I also wondered why there wasn’t a good ‘how to guide’ for nurses, particularly because so many overseas nurses had trodden the same path before. So I wrote this eBook which I hope will make it easier for you to understand the process of ‘nursing down under’ and ease your transition into Australia, so that you will be able to ‘hit the ground running’ right from the start.
It's called Nursing Australia - A guide to Working and Living as a Nurse Down Under, see http://www.nursingaustralia.info
I'm having a great time and I hope you do too!
