Nurses will always be in demand. As the world's population continues to grow,  the shortage of skills in nursing are likely to increase even further over the next 10-15 years. The elderly population is also living longer than ever before which in turn increases the need for skilled nurses to improve patient satisfaction, enhance the quality of life and provide higher standards of care, especially in rural and remote areas.  If you have dreams of working and  living in Australia- the land of opportunities-, nursing is an excellent pathway to fulfilling that dream.
