Re: Golden Summit in Cebu

Hi there! this is litz from qc. I've been wanting to know details regarding this consultancy firm. Do they have any other office here in Mla? Or its only in cavite and cebu wherein you could find their office?
A friend of mine is already in NZ, but she's too busy to answer all my queries about this matter. Hope you could help me out with this. Thanks

Re: Golden Summit in Cebu

Hi Alcheska,

Did Golden Summit provide your huuby with an employer?
Hoping for your reply. Thanks

Re: Golden Summit in Cebu

I think Golden Summit does not provide an employer. It's your job to find an employer. But they can provide assistance in making you highly marketable in the eyes of the employer.

Re: Golden Summit in Cebu

second coursers..

confirm first with nz council about their requirements..before spending your hard earned money on the application..

they have denied so many of us who applied to be regisered nurses in new zealand... they prefer people with 4 years pure nursing course...

just so you know...

Re: Golden Summit in Cebu

Just curious...

What about shifters? They don't have a solid four years nursing education. My cousin for instance, he had two years of chemical engineering, then two and a half of nursing. Is there a bearing to that certain kind of credential?

Re: Golden Summit in Cebu

I just remembered. Please beware of consultancy firms or agencies that offer health care assistants jobs in New Zealand.

Though I'm not sure which firm my colleagues sought help from, but they actually accepted the job as HCA's in New Zealand. They are all LICENSED here in the Philippines, but somehow their overall band score in IELTS haven't reached 7.5- which is a must for RN"S. They weren't offered the actual job when they arrived, having nowhere else to go, and was forced to be VEGETABLE PICKERS in Christchurch, south of NZ. They had to retake IELTS in that country, and reviewing for that exam in NZ is not very cheap. Considering they are broke, and underemployed, and with lots of relatives counting on them, it's a terrible place to be in.

Suggestion: Ace your IELTS before lodging your application in NZ.

Re: Golden Summit in Cebu

oh? so ielts should now be 7.5? .. a couple of months ago, their requirement is only ALL 7.0 ..

This is what is called a second courser, have never heard the term shifter used before.

In the realm of nursing, this is a person who made a change to nursing after completing another degree. And what NZ is not keen on accepting.

They still used their hours that they completed in engineering to meet the requirements and not all of their hours were in an actual School of Nursing, so that is why.

The nursing board there will review the credentials, and they go over every single course and where it was completed. This is where your cousin is going to run into trouble in many cases.

its still 7.0 in all areas. please refer to the ncnz website (www.nursingcouncil.org.nz) regarding the new ruling for the 7.0 scores.
you dont have to pass all 7.0 in just one sitting .
