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

World Immigration

Published

Good day!

I am considering trying my luck as a nurse in New Zealand.

Can anyone here help me and tell me what to expect in the 2-3months competency assessment? Is it really like attending formal school where you have lectures, exams, reports? Anyone ever failed that??

How long does it take to get a working visa after registering with NCNZ, provided of course one passed the assessment? How long does it take to get permanent residency?

How do I find a good consulting agency that can help me with the processing? Or dont I need one anymore?

I also would appreciate it if Filipino Nurses can share their experiences in NZ. Was the transition hard? How do you like the weather?

Any practical tips about starting my application to work as a nurse there besides looking at the NCNZ website?

Thanks a lot in advance!

could u please help me and give me an idea about this? thank u so much

Hi! good on you! how long have u waited to get your confirmed date for cap?

Hi victoria..I waited for almost 1 year.the offer was sent to me last December 2010 for the CAP October 2011. Its really hard to find schools offering CAP. each and every schools have different requirements for the said course.are you in NZ?are you done with your CAP?..what is CAP all about?..thanx much!

@nursemich: I agree, NZ is the cheaper way to go to aus. I'd also like to go to aus once I'm stable in NZ. that's why I'd been trying to pursue going to NZ. However, I can't really do anything for now, since I have no money for the application fee. Well, goodluck on you and hope to see you soon there...

Hi.It took my application for elligibility in NCNZ about 7 months coz I was denied at first due to lack of papers.thn I waited for almost a year to start my CAP at UCOL.It really depends though coz during the time that I applied to the schools providing CAP, almost all CAP providers were already close until 2012.the most hard part is looking for a CAP schools coz nowadays as I have heard some of the schools have their own requirements..

hi. im not in NZ but how many years of experience does ucol require?do they accept volunteer experience?
