Before I forget, you need to score high in the points test so you can be prioritised by NSW .

You said you are currently working in NSW. Full time? Under 457? If so, you can wait for a year to either go for 187 visa under direct entry sponsored by the hospital. Alternatively, you can proceed with 189. By that time, you already have 65 points because of your 1 year work experience in Australia. GOD BLESS
