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

wats the name of the consulting firm that u asked??the competence assessment program is lyk going back to school..u'll have assignments, reports to do to get a passing mark..aside from the theory class, there is also a clinical duty...i would lyk to share more info to u but dont know ur email..

its alright if u want to go through with the help of a consultation firm..the processing would be more easier..if u have the money,,then go for it...

hi colette..could you please guide me how to start applying the competence assessment program?and afterwards what will happen?pls Pm me...

hey, id just like to ask if the competence assessment program can substitute hospital experience since i hold only 5mos. experience, will i den be qualified to work as nurse in nz with my ielts?

wishin4NZ,

Hi there, hows your wife in NZ?

Did she use agency in applying to hospitals after the competency assessment?

I read your post in backpack nz as well.

hi narsbing,

shes doing great..they finished the nursing competency program 2 weeks ago...they are still waiting for their practicing certificate. They applied directly to the district health boards when they applied for the hospital jobs...

hi wishin4NZ,

may i know what will happen to our application if the ielts result is this:
listening=8, reading=6.5, writing=7, speaking=7 , overall bandscore=7. i sent my application last june 23 and my ielts result came out july 23 and they mailed it directly to NZ nursing council.
will they automatically downgrade my application from Registered Nurse to Nurse Assistant due to the 6.5 score in my ielts?
Please enlighten me.
God bless!
