RN who wants to move to Australia (189 visa?)
Hello everyone!
I’m a Spanish RN currently working in ICU and with previous ER experience.
I’ve been thinking about moving to Australia. I’m burned out with nursing in Spain, and Australia really appeals to me because of the lifestyle I could possibly have there.
Do you think it’s realistic for me to aim for a 189 visa?
In the calculator I get 90 points: superior english ( I passed the PTE academic last month with 90/90), I have around 9 years of nursing experience, and I’m single.
The only thing making me nervous is that I’ll turn 33 next April, and I haven’t started any of the paperwork yet (AHPRA / ANMAC). Once I turn 33, I would drop to 85 points.
Do you think I still have enough time, or am I cutting it too close?
Thanks for any advice, I really appreciate it!
