Can't really offer much re Oz im afraid but i am on the same lines. I've got my heart set on Canada, but need to do more research over the coming years. I suspect not having a nursing qualification prior to training will be a problem. I intend to practice in the NHS for a while after qualifying and give something back for training me (if i find a blasted job that is).

Im intrigued to know if there are any single mums who have done it, because childcare is a stress as it is, nevermind removing myself from all family support. But if i can then i will. For sure. Good luck to you
