Nursing in Perth
Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital W.A.
|
 |
|
Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital (known as SCGH,
“Charlies”) is a fully accredited teaching hospital
with a progressive and caring approach to the
empowerment and education of nurses.
Located just minutes from Perth’s CBD, near the
magnificent Kings Park in Nedlands, Western Australia,
Charlies is a 28 hectare medical campus which
provides a supportive learning environment to
nurses at all stages of their professional development.
With a new, state of the art emergency department

and an 18 bed intensive care unit, offers a variety
of clinical experiences. It is the principal site
for elective neurosurgery, the state cancer centre,
liver transplantation and the major centre for
respiratory medicine.

Charlies also provides a full range of services
in cardiovascular medicine, cardiothoracic surgery,
trauma, orthopaedics, neurosciences, general surgery,
general medicine, urology, renal dialysis, rehabilitation
and aged care and psychiatry.
These innovative and dynamic departments provide
nurses with unlimited opportunities for professional
advancement.
Charlies is strongly committed to the continual
support of their nursing staff. This is displayed
in many ways, most notably by a guarantee that
all areas are staffed to the “Nursing Hours Per
Patient Day” recommendations.
|
They also
provide strong leadership at ward level through
the presence of Clinical Nurse Specialists or Clinical
Nurse Managers in all wards and clinical areas.
They support the ongoing education and professional
development of nurses with staff development nurses
in all wards. Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital offers
temporary sponsorship to overseas Registered Nurses.
If you are thinking of coming to Perth, please ask

Nursing in Brisbane
Kathrin Peisker's Experience
|
|
Why did you choose to move to Brisbane?
I had spent time there the previous year, loved the weather,
city and being close to the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast.
What was the biggest challenge you faced during the preparation
stages of organising the move?
To be so far away from family and friends!
What was the easiest part of the process?
The interview with the Hospital over the phone!
What is the best piece of advice you could offer to others?
Take the time to look into where you would like to go
and organise the move.
What was the best tool that you used during the preparation
stages?
‘The Internet’ and to have Sophie at HealthStaff
Recruitment to help me via the phone whenever I needed her.
What was the biggest hurdle you crossed when you arrived
to Brisbane?
It was easy for me as I had been there the year before,
so I knew people and also had a car there.
|
How did HSR assist you?
HSR offered to pick me up from the airport and help me
find accommodation, I did not need help with this.
What was the best thing HSR did for you?
HSR found me the job in Brisbane at the Hospital I wanted
to go to. Initially it did not look like there were many positions.
How did you find the hospital orientation?
Good, one week of learning about Queensland Health, computer
service, health and Safety as well as special aspects related to
Mental Health Nursing.
How do you find the position?
Enjoy the ward, friendly and helpful staff. After one
month of working there I already feel quite at home. Work is easier
and safer than back in London.
What do you most like about the hospital?
The wards are good sizes - not to big, which creates
a safe environment to work in. It is the biggest hospital in Queensland
where a lot of research is also going on.
Would you recommend the city/hospital to others? Why?
Yes, it is growing, has a lot of cultural things to offer,
great for going out and of course wonderful weather.
|
What is your favourite thing about the location?
Weather, Beaches, Relaxed Lifestyle.
Have you travelled around the area? Where? Is it worth
visiting? What was the best accommodation you stayed in? What was
the best tourist attraction?
Lennox Head, Byron Bay - Great beaches relaxed atmosphere
Australian Zoo - Worth seeing Noosa on the Sunshine Coast - Posh
but nice.
Why have you stuck with HSR?
For the personal touch, being able to speak to Sophie
whenever I needed, she made it her mission to find me a job in Brisbane
and did it.
What is the best thing about HSR?
Getting an allocated member to work with you - who gets
to know you.
What would you like to see HSR do for you in the future?
To be available when I need advise with my job or if
I consider staying longer in Australia.

On Saturday 24th September history was made when the Sydney
Swans (formally South Melbourne) won the 2005 AFL, Australian
Football League, Grand Final for the first time in 72 years.
In a nail biting match the Swans beat the West Coast Eagles
by 4 points; the closest grand final since the North Melbourne
and Collingwood draw in 1977. Leaping Leo Barry saved the day
by taking a crucial ‘mark’ of the ball in the final seconds
before the siren.
The Sydney Swans players made a pledge as ‘blood brothers’
that they would do what ever it took to help each other win
the premiership flag. That pledge was honored and some of the
injuries included a fractured cheek bone, dislocated shoulder,
a groin injury, a broken hand and dislocated fingers.
93,000 people attended the MCG (Melbourne Cricket Ground) to
watch the match, many traveling from Perth and Sydney by plane,
train and bus. Even the home town of Irishman Tadgh Kennealy,
who was recruited direct from Ireland, stayed up to watch their
local lad and later danced an Irish jig sung live by Brian McFadden
at the grand final Ball. Delta Goodrem, a long standing Swans
supporter was also on hand to congratulate the boys and also
sang live at the event.
The MCG is the largest sporting arena in the Southern Hemisphere
and the largest cricket ground in the world. The MCG will also
host many of the events in the upcoming Commonwealth Games in
March 2006 and will have an enlarged capacity of above 100,000.
The team was honored the following week by the lord mayor of
Sydney who presented the team with the key to the city after
a ticket-tape parade through the city.
This now leaves the Bulldogs as the club with the longest Premiership
drought, poor doggies!

If we don’t count John and Deanne’s beautiful baby Zarah, I am
the newest arrival at Healthstaff Recruitment. In fact lets not
count Zarah - she is so gorgeous she’s almost edible, and there
is no competing with her! While new to the company, I have almost
20 years of nursing and midwifery experience. I have worked in Adelaide,
Melbourne and Sydney, and rural and remote New South Wales. Coupled
with extensive travel around Australia I will be able to give you
a pretty good idea about lots of exciting places to work and live.
I started in August right as we were gearing up for a recruiting
drive and have been flat chat ever since - I think they call this
a baptism under fire or something. In fact while on the phone to
a candidate one night I offered to send someone some money - crikey!
After a few giggles and perhaps a little disappointment from the
UK end, I managed to straighten it out and sent information about
the salary scales instead. It has been a steep learning curve but
now I find this poor old noggin of mine can calculate exchange rates
and time differences like a pocket calculator. My favourite part
of the work so far is calling candidates to tell them we have found
them a job. It is the best. It seems that my 10 years working
It seems that my 10 years working in small rural hospitals in western
NSW has had more of an impact on me than I had realised. It has
recently been pointed out to me that mine is the strongest Australian
accent in the office - if you want to hear what a real Aussie from
the back blocks sounds like you will have to give me a call and
say hello. I can probably muster up a G’day for you. In fact I love
nothing more than a good old chat and can hardly believe that I
actually get paid to talk on the phone all day - talk about this
girl’s dream job!
I am also developing a bit of a reputation as a bit of a CWA lady.
For the un-initiated this is an Australian institution called the
Country Women’s Association - think of pumpkin scones, twin sets
and pearls and you have a pretty good idea. OK, so I used to teach
people how to sew and love to cook - mea culpa. I would like to
set the record straight - I don’t actually know how to make pumpkin
scones! What my colleagues don’t know is that I have a few more
country strings to my bow and that I actually have a certificate
in welding, can muster cattle, and used to be an active member of
the local polocrosse club. Shhh. Don’t let on will you....

Thinking about working in New Zealand? Then
we can highly recommend you take the plunge! After recently
visiting the cities of Auckland, Wellington and Dunedin to
see our clients and check out the local sights, we can give
our personal stamp of approval to our Kiwi neighbors and their
beautiful country.
New Zealand is made up of two islands known
as North and South Islands with Wellington (the capital city)
and Auckland (New Zealand’s largest city) based in the North
Island and Dunedin based on the South Island. New Zealand
has a population of approximately 4 million and has much to
offer, especially if you love the outdoors and a relaxed lifestyle.
There are some fantastic ski slopes and pristine national
parks, as well as spectacular coast line and beaches, plus
we have some great employment opportunities for nurses.
|
Auckland
Auckland is the highest populated city in New Zealand with
over 1 million people and is known as the city of sails due
to the amount of yachts moored in the harbor. More modern
than quaint Wellington, the city has a very cosmopolitan feel
with some fabulous beaches close to the city.
|
Wellington
Wellington city is quaint and picturesque. It's very hilly
and is known as the “Windy Wellington”, therefore it is great
for sailing!
Our current nursing vacancies in Wellington include: surgical,
rehabilitation, orthopaedics, plastics and minor paediatrics.
If you want to find out more on Wellington go to www.wellingtonnz.com
|
Lower Hutt
Lower Hutt is approximately 15 minutes from Wellington city
and is part of the Wellington region. It boasts a larger population
than Wellington, and is spread out so has a country feel about
it. Lower Hutt is the gateway to the mountains which means
there is alot of hiking, mountain bike riding and fishing
to do in the area.
Our Lower Hutt vacancies include: Medical, Paediatrics and
Mental Health. If you want to find out more about Lower Hutt
go to www.visithuttcity.org.nz
Our Auckland vacancies include: surgical, orthopaedics, mental
health, neurosurgery and midwifery. If you want to find out
more about Auckland go to www.aucklandnz.com
|
Dunedin
Dunedin is the gateway to the Otago Peninsula, famous for
its penguins, seals and albatross colonies. The city has a
population of approximately 120,000 and Scottish settlers
arrived in the gold rush era, so many streets have Scottish
names and the city retains some Scottish culture. Dunedin
is an excellent alternative for families looking for an affordable,
relaxed lifestyle.
Our Dunedin Vacancies cover most clinical areas. If you want
to find out more about Dunedin go to www.dunedinnz.com
To work in New Zealand you should be available to work on
a 12 month contract and have a minimum of 2 years acute nursing
experience.
