Visitor or Work visa application while waiting for PR grant

Can one apply for visitor visa or work visa while waiting for the PR grant? I have Australian Nursing Registration and want to go to Australia to start Job finding process instead of sitting free and just waiting. If anyone have any knowledge related to this issue, I'd appreciate the response and suggestion. Thanks
You need to be careful, if your tourist visa will be granted after PR your PR will be overriden and you will end up having only tourist visa.
