Stephen contacted me recently regarding a new forum he has created for both nurses and doctors which focuses on the ins and outs of working in different countries. Sounds like a great idea, be sure to check it out.
Hello All,
I’m a registered nurse from Australia who has worked in both the UAE and UK.
To cut a long story short, I got to thinking that a forum for both nurses and doctors which specifically discussed working in different countries and how to do it would be a good idea.
In my experience some information was hard to come by, I’m not talking about what employment agencies tell you but other things like, what its actually like to work in say Abu Dhabi, or is The Holy Grail Hospital in Woop Woop really going to suit my personality.
So I’ve started a forum on just this sort of thing at:

Anyway, if you’re interested in discussing getting a job overseas as a nurse or doctor, feel free to have a look, post a question or an answer and see how it goes. If you’re not looking for jobs OS, feel free to let a friend who is know about the address.

Like many nurses with a burning desire to travel and work overseas, I came to Australia on a Temporary Business (457) visa. 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 link below.

Hi,
I am applying to register in Australia as a nurse. In the registration process the Ahpra ask for quite a lot of evidence of continuing professional development. Have others struggled with providing this and how strict are they on application? I have lots of certificates but will struggle to demonstrate 20 hours each year since qualifying in 1994!
Advice please!

If you have a Twitter account tweet your thoughts on this, let’s see if we can make it go viral. This guy is absolutely heartless and shameless.
When you mull about going green in your life, what about your house? Have you thought about applying eco-friendly techniques to build a new house or possibly finding ways to convert your current home so that it will be more eco-friendly? Although some individuals might wonder if you’re really going to paint your home green, that isn’t what going green means. A number of homeowners still don’t know what you mean when you mention that your house is green. Although changing to a green way of living may be out of your budget, the typical family can make smaller changes on the way to full green living. People decide to adopt a green lifestyle for a number of reasons, and with some of them, it is a reason to handle the family’s allergy issues.
What is the reason why a lto of people decide to go through the trouble of turning their house into green? It can’t be for the money they will save, as normally it ends up costing more, even with the energy savings. Having way too many chemical substances in their home is one huge reason for many people. Not only are there many chemicals, but the homeowner is spending money for the privilege of having them inside their house. Even though it may seem unlikely, it is actually true as can be evidenced by the toxic gases that the vinyl linoleum gives off. While not as readily available, true linoleum doesn’t emit these toxic fumes. Many of the more recent products that replace old products are much more poisonous.
Helping the environment can also be accomplished by following the recycling ordinances outlined by your municipalities. Where the government leaves out is quite often where private recyclers will stay on. This is highly effective when each and every locality is supplied with easily accessible recycling bins. Thinking green when you improve your place with new paint is not at all difficult. It’s just a matter of utilizing paint containing low volatile organic compounds. Deciding to use latex paint to reseal wooden doors or hardwood floors is a way to reduce pollution too.
While you may not want to completely remodel your house, you can always replace your older appliances with newer ones that are energy efficient. You can find at least one green appliance sold by each of the big companies. It’s pretty easy to locate dishwashers and washing machines that have low water cycles. Getting privies that use less water is one more option and can save you money on your monthly water bill. Updating your kitchen by getting new Energy Star appliances is a good way you can give your kitchen a new appearance. With their stainless steel appearance and environmentally friendly design, these appliances give your kitchen an updated and attractive, yet green, look.
Going green puts you in a new mindset, and this lets you make even more green living changes. Pretty soon, you will find yourself getting more and more green products, such as eco-friendly detergent soap.
