Advantages of studying abroad for nursing majors in Australia
1. The job market is bright.
There are currently about 1322 hospitals in Australia, of which public hospitals account for 65%. According to the statistics of the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, there are 212,878 registered nurses in Australia. The service institutions are not limited to hospitals, nursing homes and home care institutions, but also include occupational health institutions, school health institutions and community health units.
Moreover, the current situation is that both public and private hospitals in Australia are facing a shortage of nurses, which makes major hospitals in Australia increase medical costs and constantly raise nurses' salaries to prevent existing nurses from leaving their jobs.
The salary is very good.
In Australia, the income of nurses is considerable, ranging from 45,000 Australian dollars (about 220,000 RMB) to120,000 Australian dollars (about 660,000 RMB).
Ordinary nurses' overtime pay is Saturday 150%, Sunday 175%, with a fixed annual increase of 10%. There are usually two shifts in time. There is no 996 in Australia, so you can stay efficient at work and have your own off-duty time. In addition, the Australian Industrial Relations Board grants a subsidy of $65,438+00,000 to each nurse who has served continuously for more than two years. Nursing students can start part-time nursing work from their sophomore year, and the salary is about $ 24-35 per hour.
