Hi Ross!

I would love to talk to someone in the know about some of the issues I am encountering in nursing, as I can’t seem to get a job and wonder if you can help. I don’t want to post these problems over the net and hope that you get the email address that doesn’t show up on the screen, the one you key in to post your comment.

If you email me I will write to you and perhaps you can help me.

Hi all I have been made to fund my own RTP course and have now decided that I will take my skills to the UK as the wages in Aus are not great, the working conditions are shocking and they don’t treat nurses very well at all. I may have stayed in Australia if there had been some effort made to attract me back, but there hasn’t been any effort and I don’t think I should have to pay to nurse people especially when the system does’t repay you in any way.

Feedback from nurses/readers regarding the above ebook, ‘Nursing in Australia – A Guide to Working and Living as a Nurse Dowun Under’. Here are the
comments that I have recieved.

‘Your book looks great’ ‘This is fantastic and much needed’.

‘I would like to congratulate you on such a fantastic publication. Every single
question I have ever been asked. The information is accurate and set out in a
format that is easy to read’.

‘Over 200 pages of essential information for nurses and midwives wishing to
migrate and work!!!’

This is fantastic and much needed. I’ll let our nursing candidates know about
your site and ebook.

A number of universities and nursing colleges have bought the ebooks and are using it as part of their currculim.

Hi Ronald… It’s certainly possible, though full a full time nursing degree takes up a fair amount of time in your week, you’d probably be limited to part time evening/night and weekend work.

As iTropics suggests it’s also quite expensive for international students. The latest USQ international fees suggest $2270 as an estimated cost per unit, full time study is 8 units per year (around $18160 per year), and it’s a three year course.

I’m not sure what the nursing course is like in the philippines so it’s difficult for me to say which is the best option for you! Good luck….
