Good-bye Australia! It's Been Real!!!

Well, this is it… my last night in Australia.  After nearly an entire year of living life as an expat, I’m boarding a plane tomorrow morning and returning to the United States.  My Aussie adventure is officially coming to a close.  During these past couple of weeks, I’ve had mixed feelings about my return.  Part of me is sad; I could have happily stayed here much longer.  But another part of me is excited and happy. Even though Mouse has only been gone a week, I miss him and am ready to live with him full-time again.  I'm ready for life to resume some sort of normalcy.  Besides, California is uncharted territory and I’m ready to tackle this next challenge.  Just because I’m leaving Australia doesn’t mean I’m ready to settle down.  My life will still be full of adventures.  So, please stay tuned.  This isn’t the last you’ll hear from me.

  1. Hello! I'm a RN from Miami, and used to spend a lot of time in Oz (when I was a party kid). I love it there and miss it dearly. How did you find that nursing there compared to nursing here? What were the wages like? Were nurses given the autonomy to act on OUR assessments or do we have to follow MD orders no questions asked? I'd love to hear more about your clinical experiences. I just discovered your blog today, so I'm going to look through more of it now.

    Cheers!
