All nurses must be licensed to work in Australia. You should go to the website for skills assessment and nursing registration in the state to which you will be moving. You will find links to the state websites on the following page: http://www.immi.gov.au/asri/occupations/n/nurse-registered-nurse-2323-11.htm

How possible is it for an American to work in Australia for a for few months or longer? What kinds of jobs

How possible is it for an American to work in Australia for a for few months or longer? What kinds of jobs?
I'm an American in my 20s, and I'd like to work in Australia for a few months, a year, or longer. Whatever time period is possible, I guess. I have a college degree, but I'm open to doing any sort of work. So how possible is this, considering the government regulation, visa restrictions, etc? And what kinds of jobs might be out there for a foreigner to do? Thanks for any information!

the only way is a 12 month work and holiday visa, an american can only ever get this visa once you must apply before your 30 http://www.immi.gov.au/visitors/working-holiday/visa-options.htm
2 :
You can apply--before the age of 30, a holiday/work visa. Once this visa has expired, you must leave--most people will go to New Zealand and do the same thing. Good luck to you--a lot of Australian's have no jobs--things are rough there also--maybe work around town under the table and stay at a hostel.

You're under 31 and you have a college degree, so you're eligible for a 12 month Work and Holiday visa.That will allow you to work anywhere, at any type of work with the only restriction being that you can only work for each employer for a maximum of 6 months. W&HVs are fast and easy to get and everyone eligible who applies will get one - there is no quota. You can only ever get 1 W&HV in a lifetime. http://www.immi.gov.au/visitors/working-holiday/462/usa/ When you arrive, you may be expected to prove that you have access to around AUD$5000 (bank account, credit card, traveller's cheques etc) and either a return ticket or additional funds to buy one. During your W&HV, you'll be able to find casual work in bars and restaurants or call centres; there's always fruit picking work available somewhere throughout the country or depending on your skills, you may be able to find work in your usual field though the 6 month per employer restriction may make that difficult. If you want to stay and work for longer than 12 months, the only visa you will be eligible to apply for from within Australia is a subclass 457 temporary employer sponsored visa. For that, you must have qualifications and experience in an occupation on our Skilled Occupations List (SOL) and you must be able to find an employer who is eligible and willing to jump through the considerable hoops required to sponsor you in that occupation. http://www.immi.gov.au/allforms/pdf/1121i.pdf The current SOL. A new, much shorter SOL will be released in April to take effect from 1 July. http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/skilled-workers/sbs/ Subclass 457 visa.

Can a PS3 bought in Australia work in US

Can a PS3 bought in Australia work in US?
I have a PlayStation 3 console that was bought in Australia, but I'm going to study in the US so I want to know whether it would work in US. If it can't, what do I have to do to make it work? I know some kind of problem related to voltage (US uses 110V and Australia uses some 200V) might be the case... or possibly the NTSC/PAL configuration? Please kindly help, thank you.

Your most likely bet would be in a Japanese restaurant. Probably something on the bottom end of the scale such as clearing tables or dishwashing, but you might get into the food preparation side if you are lucky (and any good at it)
2 :
Most small motels and inns in the country regularly accept backpackers as temporary workers. Larger hotels are now also following the trend and getting travelers for temporary work. Remember to check the message boards in the lobby of the place to see what jobs are being offered to travelers like you. And if you are lucky enough, you can actually have everything arranged so that, instead of being paid, you actually work for your accommodations.
