I see my joke backfired slightly

Sorchar

I'll hopefully be off to Perth start of 2007. Am RMN and worked mainly in care of the elderly and challenging behaviour for the past 15 years. Just a bit concerned about work and the pennies as I will be coming over without an OH and will also have an adult "child" who will be studying on a student visa to support. I've got my visa and have registered with ANC but will have to check my registration is still valid. Havn't yet registered with WANB as thought it better to wait till nearer my departure. Yikes, it all seems to have gone a bit haywire, now I'm not sure what I should be doing. Everything just seems so up in the air at the moment. Any words of advice/encouragement anyone ?

Hi Sorchar, You seem to be all done and ready for going to perth apart from registering with WA. You said about registering with ANC, but you don't need to. You only need to be verified, and transcripts sent from your university/school of nursing. You've probably already done the transcripts bit for your visa anyway.
With regards to registering with WA, I registered with them last September, and my registration will be renewed in October (Hopefully I will be there before then) I haven't received my Visa grant yet, so I can't make plans to emigrate til then. I should hear in a few days/weeks time, who knows

Good luck with everything

Mrs Rangersman

I had to re-register just before coming out as it expired in the September it last until your next birthday, not a problem registering, apparently its cheaper if you register with the state board before ANCi.

Hi Tia,

I'm hoping to go to Perth, still completing the application forms and awaiting references from my manager. Not sure how long all of this will take, but aiming to get form sent off in May/June and would like to be in Perth by 2007.

Goodluck to you all, I've definately changed me mind, don't know where am going but its not perth, so one less nurse for you to worry about

I truly think it would suit me to a tee, but not a lively teen and would also give OH more job options if we go somewhere else.

Mrs JFW

Come to brissy then margaret...we can go out drinking together!

Margaret2

Well Jackie, that's clinched it, ok, lol

Got your pm, just not got round to replying, but will do.

I honestly take my hat off to you lot doing it yourselves, me and Oh fell out over the police form , lol Made me realise , for us, anyway, we did the right thing usuing an agent, we would have killed each other, coz forms really stress me out, and OH is too lazy to fill them in.

Mrs JFW

Its taking me all my time to get OH just to sign the flippin things. He said he's gonna do it after James Bond!

Got my visa last tuesday!

YIPPEE!!!

Tiawamutu

Great...get chasing with those references...that's what held me up, as it took the ward sister 2 months to do the references, even though I had more or less done them for her!

Tiawamutu

Any others?

nursemand

brilliant to here you got your visa Tia

sent my medicals about 4 weeks ago so hopefully will get the nod soon

Karen and Iain

Congratulations on the visa Tia.
I am a nurse heading to Perth soon, we need to be out of our house by 30th June so we hope to be in Perth at beginning of July. When are you planning to go?
Karen

Tiawamutu

Thanks

We heard 6 weeks and 4 days after Sydney received our medicals. We did not get informed of a case officer, went straight to visa So you could be hearing very soon

Haven't booked flights or done anything yet really, as we are waiting for the house to sell

Are you going to perth? Been that long since this thread was posted, I forget where everyone is off to
