  4. Wound Drains & LMWH (2 topics)

    Hiya! I was just looking for some info on these two different topics. Until I moved to my new hospital, I had never seen a wound drain in a c-section patient. Is this something that's rather common and was just uncommon in my area, or is this a f...
  5. Australian Nursing student wanting to work in NZ for new grad year

    Oh, as for experience, you have to really pick one or the other. You won't get experience for both. The areas are so different, and Women's Services rarely see outlying patients. I hear midwives grumbling about the hassle of trying to satisfy the ...
  6. Australian Nursing student wanting to work in NZ for new grad year

    Hi, Ellie! Here's what I can tell you. The NETP Programme (for nurses) is only open to NZ citizens/residents. As long as you get your practicing certificate, you'll have no issues with getting your registration. The FYP (First Year of Practice) mi...
  7. registered nurse

    Ceridwyn is right. The New Zealand Nursing Council is your first stop because you can't get a visa without being registered, and employers won't talk to you without being registered. The council does require you take the IELTS and have 2 years exp...
  8. Submitted my AHPRA, now what?

  9. Can a nurse with an ADN become a nurse in NZ

    The NZ Council changed their requirements this year (I believe it was) and it isn't 1100 clinical hours, it is 1100 clinical hours in your final semester. Their education is set up with less theory than in the U.S. There have been some ADN's that h...
  10. Competency Assessment Programme for Overseas Qualified Nurses

    NZ Immigration has removed lots of nursing specialties from the skills list, which makes it difficult to obtain sponsorship. I know most advertisements I see ask for NZ nursing experience. I would double check that school you're looking at. I've n...
  11. Reciprocity of Australian License

    You also have to have 2 years and 2500 hours of experience to get your license.
  12. Specializing as a new nurse??

    I went into nursing school knowing OB was something I never wanted to do. I later discovered I loved OB, and I scored an intern position, which landed me an l&d job out of nursing school. I never regretted specializing until I started working h...
  13. How much do US travel nurses make in Australia?

    I would recommend your wife get nursing experience before traveling. There's a reason nurses burn out and leave the field during the first year or two. Nursing school is much different from real nursing. It would be easier on her if she gained exp...
  14. US-trained nurse looking to migrate to Australia or New Zealand

    You have to certify everything that's a copy. See this link. Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency - Certifying Documents " Copies of documents provided in support of an application, or other purpose required by the National Law, must be...
  15. New Zealand RN's

    I'm in NZ, but from the States. At the moment I'm not working, but I'm thinking about going back soon.
