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

what is the usual salary in new zealand? is the cost of living in the said country high?

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!

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
