To Filipino Nurses in NEW ZEALAND? Have questions please..

thanks for the warnings penicillin8!

that was really honest. and i again thank you for that. everything u said is true. it was just a few days ago that i read this thread, and i hired an agency months ago so dont blame me for not reading the thread thoroughly. although by now i have read everything in this thread.

with all the information i got from this thread and other numerous sources, i know what to avoid. HOWEVER, it doesn't change the fact that i already partially paid the ageny. may it be a mistake or not, at this point i dont care so long as my papers are getting processed. sure, i could have avoided paying the agency, but i can't do anything about it now. what i can do now is to do the remaining leg work on my own.

don't worry, if i do fin a health care facility that would sponsor my CAP, i'll be sure to take in mind the things that u mentioned (rate per hour, location, other benefits) THANKS AGAIN. I'll take that goodluck hehe

to deckyjoe,
Hi! I also came from baguio! were in the same boat right now. I am also currently looking for hospitals and facilities that could sponsor my CAP. Can we correspond thru email so we could update each other when oppurtunity comes?
Thank you!

hmm, i cant send private messages yet coz i haven't posted enough on the thread/sites (u need atleast 15 posts by the way hehe) so i cant contact u yet,

just an update everyone, i have received my acceptance letter from the nursing council of new zealand just today, dated july 13. now i have to look for my own school for the CAP, any suggestions? hehe with sponsorships perhaps? hehe

to decky and narsemeow:
if you intend to have your cap sponsored, you could apply directly to agencies in NZ e.g. westcoast, enterprise and others.
some offered direct sponsorship for cap and airfare while others would offer reimbursement. but i believe most of the school are full until oct or nov.
i have submitted my application for cap late june and i got the nov slot

hi appetite! thanks for the reply, so are you already in new zealand? i mean what step are you in the process? what kind of agencies did you mention? recruitment agencies or health care facilities? i hired an agency (which i regret a bit coz i could have saved some money) here in the phils, but i was hoping to find a sponsor on my own so i could money.

im still here in manila decky. since my sched for cap will start on nov, i will leave for nz most probably last week of oct in order to save from further expenses.
i am also under a local agency, but no placement fee.
awww, its sad that you hired an agency here.
my expenses for cap and airfare would be reimburse by my employer after the said program.

hello again appetite, yeah hiring an agency is one costly mistake hehe, but what the heck, they were able to get my approval/acceptance letter and i can't do anything bout it now anyway. may i ask the name of your agency/employer? and what are the other agencies in NZ that can probably help me with my CAP? thanks for the reply!

hello! I'm also about to apply for New zealand...can you pM me the name of your employer? thanks..thanks...Goodluck when u get to NZ!

to decky and g3:
