John whats the story with moneycorp changes? I'll PM you.

Hi you should look on gov't website for community child health nurse jobs. They recognise and welcome SCPHN qualification. Depending on where you work in the uk will have an impact on the transition shock lol. If you are jumping with a heavy caseload/ child protection/case conferences/court in the UK it is VERY different here! Happy to chat over PM

Hi the information you are looking for is somewhere! Were you at an old school of nursing with a university providing your degree? I was project 2000 and that's what I had- old school of nursing (in an old asylum) with degree provided by Strathclyde Uni. The uni that provided your degree will have the information on file To get registered the school would have had to send your academic and placement info to the old UKCC (NMC). I'm not being funny but your agent should have this sorted for you try the NMC and see what they have from your entry to register

Hi just looking to see what people have set up re last will. i have assets in UK (property) and just bought here. Wondering if a will in Aus will suffice for both countries. I have apt with lawyer in couple of weeks but wondering what others have set up. Thanks

Hi we are moving house and looking for boxes- can anyone help? We are in Perth Thanks

thanks- having no luck with gumtree

Anyone????

Hi when you submit a written offer for a (prebuilt/old) house do you always have to provide a deposit to the real estate agent? If so how much? Thanks

Hi jasmin the nursing society have a gathering this Friday 31st July- tickets are $15- you will get ticket from nursing society on campus. This will provide you an ideal opportunity to meet more people. The nursing society will also have a list of other events on.

Hi did your wife do the community specialist nurse course or the advanced nurse practitioner course? I know you said that you have contacted people but.. to my knowledge what you have been told conflicts with what I understand. Your wife has effectively topped up her diploma with a nursing course at degree level (or above) Has your wife directly spoken to AHPRA/ANMAC? It would be different if your wife's MSc was in something other than nursing- did she explain the qualification? Good luck

Hi The professional part of your wife's nurse practitioner qualification, that is, the prescribing, assessing, diagnosing part won't be recognised here. Nurse practitioners are having a pretty rough ride of it just now- they are having hours cut and jobs are hard to come by. Medics here (on the whole) don't want NPs it's quite political The NPs role here is not as autonomous as UK NPs. Nirsing here is very (very) different. Patient load smaller, autonomy is very limited- they actually have "doctors orders" lol However, in saying all that... good opportunities for UK nurses and money is better. Good luck

Thanks for the replies- yes I understand the whole mortgage situation Im asking about when you submit a formal written offer to an estate agent. To clarify- do you give the estate agent a deposit along with your offer to show you're 'serious' or not? If so how much is 'normal'

Hi does a south facing back garden make as much of an impact on light like a North facing one does in the UK? For instance does it impact and shade the pool area and garden area? I have read mixed reports online so keen to hear from Perth people who have/had a south facing back garden

Thanks yes it is a beach suburb we are looking at. I'm not bothered about the wind at all I just don't want a dull/shaded garden area

Thanks for the info Ill look into the Bali thing- not overly worried given the UK was in high alert for ages and everyone just got on with it! We go there middle of year, going to KL soon- can't wait!

Hi All We are going to KL and Bali for our fist travels outside Aus my question is- how do I get access to money? In the UK I used my bank card as I had free transactions abroad with First Direct, I don't have that account anymore. So I thought about getting a prepaid card but the prepaid cards I could see were only available in a few currencies and it didn't cover the currencies I am after. I don't want to take cash as I am nervous about losing it/getting robbed, and don't want to use my westpac card as they will rob me lol I can remember people at my old work talking about some credit card that was really good for travel abroad but I can't remember what it was! Any ideas/experiences to share? Cheers

Thanks I meant my room getting robbed - happened to us before in Spain (also staff nicking things from safe), in good places too. i thought Westpac would rob us in exchange rate and charge for withdrawal fees? I'll pop in and ask them what they charge thabks

Have a look at this for ideas: http://www.weekendnotes.com/perth/new-years-eve/ And this http://www.experienceperth.com/things-to-see-and-do/christmas-in-perth/new-years-eve-celebrations Also as others said you can go to northbridge (it is 'lively') and wander about and see what's going on or if you want a quiet one you can sit at kings park http://www.bgpa.wa.gov.au/kings-park/events/events-calendar/event/1287-new-year-s-eve Ps-there are fireworks at New Years at a few of the events held

I have seen many shops with ads in window for sales assist positions in the city and Joondalup shopping centre has just opened its extended area If you are not getting a single reply it may because of the visa you are on (working holiday) or your application is needing work to showcase your skills.

What suburb are you in? What visa are you on?

Hi you don't need an Hons degree - the top up degree will do best of luck

Hi there @elliew76 yes I mean you need to get the visa granted before he becomes non dependant and you have a valid visa for 5 years (I'm sure it's 5years - as long as you activate it in time) just think- you apply for visa and your kid is 16 you go and activate it but don't migrate for 3 years your kid is then 19 - it doesn't matter they have the visa to migrate. You can focus on getting the visa and then sort your registration out- just make sure you get visa granted while he is under 18 or still dependant keep us posted on your top up success

Remember you just need to get your son on your visa - if he is over 18 by the time you get here it makes no difference the important part is to get him on visa while he is a dependant. ANMAC will give you a positive skills assessment without degree it's APHRA that will be a problem but you can get your visa before you apply to AHPRA, this will give you time to do top up modules oh another uni I forgot about is Robert Gordon in Aberdeen they are famous for online learning- I'd look up their website and call them

What about GCU? They give you 300 points for being a reg nurse. The fees they state of 7k are for undergrads but they don't charge that much for nurses topping up. Have a look -I'd give them a call in the morning - again they have very good reputation. Click on level 1 reg nurse part http://www.gcu.ac.uk/study/undergraduate/courses/professional-studies-in-nursing-8911.php?loc=uk

Your DipHE is worth 300 points and you only need 60 more for degree I'm not sure what your extra modules are worth but they could be 10,15 or 20. To complete your degree you could get RPL for your existing modules and do 20point ones and get it done quickly. I'm sure they always do prof development module that's worth 20 points
