Hi! Can you PM me your agency? The placement is lower than what mine quoted. But the fee for Competency Assessment is a bit high. I think that amount would cover 3 months assessment training already, if they find that you lack a little more skill and knowledge.

Thanks!!

hi...i'm an RN here in the philippines and just last friday i received an email informing me that i passed the interview i had with a hospital/rest home in new zealand... i was also informed that i will be responsible for the the bridging course fee (which i dont have knowledge yet how long and how much) the NCNZ registration and how to get to NZ. The bridging course fee and NCNZ fee will be reimbursed though upon the completion of the 2 yrs contact...now i dont have an idea how to start...have already started checking on NCNZ application form....

Any information would be of great help. If you would also prefer you may send me the information detail to ........

Thank you soooooo much!

Yes, this is unreasonable because if you have to pay for the competency enrollment then you dont have to go to them and pay the 180,000 pesos. Just do it yourself. Research on how to proceed and save the 180,000 pesos. That makes sense, isnt it?

oh my god! you can do this on your own you know! by reading and doing your research on how to proceed. you dont need the agency to apply to any university for the bridging program. once you completed the bridging program successfully you will have the license and apply wherever you want without the agency taking some amount from your salaries.

Since you're an NCLEX passer (esp. if you have a current US license), the Nursing Council might assess your qualifications differently (they might even waive the completion of competency programme for you ).
You can inquire about registration and download forms here www.nursingcouncil.org.nz/reg.html for assessment. I believe that you can apply directly to hospitals once you have the license. A job offer and license are required for the work permit/visa.
