I agree, in order to be considered for the CAP here, you need at least 6 mos clinical experience and still working while processing for your Enrollment here. THere are a lot of schools here for competency. You can check the Nursing council website. To give you a rough idea how much the schooling would cost around 200kPHP - School. 150K- allowance. 50-70K round trip ticket depends on the season. So max 500K php. Depende din minsan kung magkano ang hinihingi ng mga agency dyan sa pinas.

Hope this helps.

i would greatly appreciate any help from you guys, thanks!!!!!

We were catered by a consultancy firm in Cebu City. Yes you need at least 6 mos clinical experience and still working while your application is still on the process. We paid everything, see my posting on this thread.
We also paid the agency for the processing. It took us 11 mos to get here. *NZ's policy is getting difficult yearly so better check for the changes often.

Hope that helps.

It didnt say number of years experience required.

My application got delicned by the NZNC saying my academic backgroud didn't match the scope of nursing practice in NZ. Weird part is I have several classmates who's applications got approved, and to think they don't have any post nursing experience yet whereas I have several already, and again, to think that i have already passed my NCLEX whereas they don't have it yet.

In conclusion, I would say that the NZNC's way of evaluating an application is very arbitrary. So those planning to go to NZ, be careful. You might have the money, paid your agency and completed all the required documents already only to find out in the end that your application is declined by the NZNC.

I know a processing firm/agency that helps nurses migrate to New Zealand. The company is called iMEETS. They are based in manila and has worked for a lot of people. Visit their website for more information.
