starting salary in New Zealand is dependent on your work experience. Try googling for the "cost of living calculator New Zealand" .

if you are interested to work in NZ visit this sites www.immigration.govt.nz for NZIS , www.nursingcouncil.org.nz - Nursing Council of New Zealand you can download the forms and guides from that site . also try www.nurse2nz.blogspot.com - a step by step guide to Nursing in New Zealand.

hi. i just want to ask - do they require me to be a registered nurse here in the phils. before i can apply for their CAP program? i don't plan on taking the local board exams, since I'm planning to work in the US, but due to retrogression...i'm interested in aquiring as much knowledge and skills that i can while waiting. i can't do that here in the phils. since as i've mentioned i don't plan on taking the local board. thank you so much!

Yes , you need to be a Registered RN in the Philippines before you can register for the CAP program. And it would help if you have clinical work experience.

good day to all. anyone kind enough to explain the whole process of authentication of documents for new zealand? thanks very much

narsingkiwi · Nov 13, 2007, 02:25 AM

to retsimnaeb: try reading the registration form for overseas registered nurse from the nursing council website . it indicates the outline for authentication. if you have time read www.nurse2nz.blogspot.com - you can get some tips regarding the steps for registration as a nurse in new zealand. good luck!

[quote=Aquarian;2172585]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.[/quote

hi! i have the same probs as others. just passed nclex exam and planning to work in nz while waiting for retro to be lift up. hope someone can answer my question if i can use my nclex license instead of ielts?? hope i can hear any from you all guys working in nz. im desperately need jobs as of the moment for im jobless for 2 months now..

you can not use your nclex license in lieu of IELTS. you need IELTS band 7.0 . Having an nclex license does not mean anything when you register with the nursing council of new zealand. The required competency assessment program serves an introduction to nursing policies and guidelines of new zealand...
