Well, I am quite different the way I learn and think because I love sciences and love to explore life in many alternative ways, so after 4 years of working for the government in Thailand I decided to quit the job. Unfortunately, the economic went bad ( Tom yum kung), as a result I stayed back for another 6 years to be able to survive financially. I love working in ICU and in Thailand, but the system is inefficiently functioning in term of advanced practice and knowledge. Bare in mind up to today, I realized that the healthcare system in many parts of the world are like that.
To answer your question, nope, I looked around , read from internet about few countries and talked to a few people around the world in ICQ and MSN. I chose Australia for a few reasons as it is a better country in many aspects, you can see by yourself ( read the Austrailan Embassy Hi Wachiraporn,
You are right in term of manythings are very hard including to pass an English exam and to get a nursing license to work in Australia.

This is only the first step, the next step is to be able to work in the place that many things are very different from your original culture and clinical setting. To be able to do what I stated you have to be prepared to invest yourself by investing your time , your money and sacrify manytings in order to be sucessful.
Now a day competition is something that you have to make yourself get used to it. I would advise you to assess yourself if you think you are ready and you are capable, then go for it. Well, other people can do it why cann’t you.
There are many language teaching institutions that are good and many places that are very substandard. Please make sure you go to study in the high standard place and have a good reputation. It will be worth of your money spend if you have a good outcome from your study. Do some research about the place before you set your foot in.
I wish you all the best!
