    • Great to hear from you Paul, As a nurse there are plenty of options...Queensland being where the big shortage is, means it can be quick and easy to migrate. However, some of the working conditions and way 'shifts' are organised, what is expected etc are worth looking into - Australia has it's little differences. It could be worth you writing a feed on an 'Australia chat forum' to meet with other nurses to get real inside scoop. Have a look through my blog as I'm sure I've put a few links up in the past relating to nursing here too. I'll continue to search out and find more info and resources. It is a big more, especially with children - A lot of settling in and diverse needs to meet, plus starting to build a network for freindship, help and support. On the other hand it could be the best thing you'll ever do and you'll find there are plenty of us in the same boat!
