    Melissa- Maybe try Agency work or Bank work somewhere and see if any specific areas interest you?

    Kim-Yeah what Melissa said above, they prolly hold your rego til you complete the refresher course.

    Thanks girls. I rang and spoke to them as I didn't want to pay it if it was going to be knocked back. They just said everything you guys did so all that's changed is that I pay less lol. I'll get a refund from the full price when they knock me back.

    Does anyone know the BPAY details? the code and then is it just your registration number as a reference? I've tried to ring all week but got cut off or on hold for and hour (which DS is never really pleased about somehow lol).

    Mel you and I must have graduated the same year!

    Sorry cant help you with the bpay thing... I dont even know where I put my paper work!!! And my brain doesnt reach that far back!

    I graduated from VUT in Footscray in 1999. I went straight into my grad year doing mental health. I only wish now that I did half med/surg and half mental health. I really enjoyed the thril of mental health when i was younger and had no kids...now its a different story. I have had so many incidents that I dont think I could do it anymore. I dont really want to go back to work but I feel I should because I dont want to waste all that study. I wouldnt have a clue what else to do. I was thinking maybe I could study more and do teaching or maybe ..... I dont know! AAggg. What area did you work in?

    ED and peadi theatre were my specialities. Would love to go back but I've been in the cops so long, it's a bit scary. I know what you mean about the feeling towards it pre and post kids. That was ultimately why I resigned from the cops. I just couldn't do it anymore. But you're right. I worked so hard to get all that and now what

    Teaching has crossed my mind too. I know lots of nurses that have done the two year conversion.

    I might look into that....

    Cops as in police?

    Where abouts are you... as opposed to the middle of nowhere?
