Re: Anyone else Adelaide bound?

Keep at it and keep your expectations realistic... I'm sure that the reason we're having such a great time is that we didn't come here expecting too much, so everything that comes up roses brings a...

The thing I find most difficult to understand is that UK nurses are most sought after, and recognised as being more advanced than the australian nurse. But the australian nurse for what ever reason...
