As a lot of you know I am working for an agency. Unfortunately we've hit a dry spell and I didn't get any shift this week and it's ending soon so I'm on forced vacation. Which is actually good if only I am not broke. But to maximise my time off I'm doing school work. Keeping myself busy and more I control.

You are able to turn down side to keeping yourself busy with school work =) Hopefully work picks up for you! At my last employer we'd have 3 weeks mandatory at the end of the year for company shut down. You had to use your own hours or you just don't get paid.

At least you are working through it and figuring out how to handle the situation you are put in. I hope everything turns out alright for you.

The ironic thing is, if you didn't need the money so badly, there would have been plenty of work and no forced vacation. But since you are broke, of course they make you take a forced vacation. That's life, unfortunately.

@flapiz Exactly! It sure is funny how life seems to work that way.

I thought nursing and other jobs were in abundance in Australia because some of my daughters' friends in NZ moved to Australia saying the pasture there was greener.

@sunrisefan Not as easy in Perth. Too many competition and also I was not a resident and I’m a fresh graduate.

@flapiz I see but I understand that you're a registered nurse so you would have easily been hired as a regular medical staff.
