Hi there we arrived on the 31st October - hubby is a nurse (i am a midwife but haven't yet got registration with th NBSA so I am unable to work at the moment). My hubby started his job at Wakefield Hospital on Monday and is really enjoying it. He said that he was really made to feels welcome and the hospital has a really friendly feel about it. Friday is scone day so the chief exec provides scones and tea/coffee for all the staff (free). Andy thought that there was a catch but apparently not! I have a friend that works at the womens and Childrens hospital too and she really enjoys it there. I dont think that you will have a problem with finding a job - infact I think that your hand will be snapped off. The agencies seem to have a lot of work and pay very well so you could maybe start with one of those and figure out where you wanted to be before applying for something permanent. We stayed in at www.roorentals.com.au and were made to feel very welcome in a beautiful home with everything that you would need to make your stay fantastic, try www.downunderrentals.com.au too - I would try to book something asap as they do get booked up very quickly.

 

Good luck with everything - its the beginning of a roolercoaster ride - Enjoy!

[Guest Guzzler&Sas]

I will let you off Jeannie - catch up soon. There are lots of things around to help persuade your lad to move here - also have plenty of opinions on schools etc because I chat to all the mums at kinde, although I don't need to worry about high schools yet. Did you friend actually touch Becks?
